Community Survey 2016 - South Africa

Abstract
---------------------------

The Community Survey is a nationally representative, large-scale household survey which is designed to provide information on the extent of poor households in South Africa, their access to services, and levels of unemployment, at national, provincial and municipal levels. The main objectives of the survey are:
1. To fill data gaps between national population and housing censuses
2. To provide estimates at lower geographical levels than existing household surveys
3. To build capacities for the next census round
4. To provide inputs to the mid-year population projections.

Geographic coverage
---------------------------

The survey covered the whole of South Africa.

Analysis unit
---------------------------

Households

Universe
---------------------------

The Community Survey covered all de jure household members (usual residents) in South Africa. The survey excluded collective living quarters (institutions) and some households in EAs classified as recreational areas or institutions.

Kind of data
---------------------------

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The sampling procedure that was adopted for the Community Survey was a two-stage stratified random sampling process. Stage one involved the selection of enumeration areas, and stage two was the selection of dwelling units. Since the data are required for each local municipality, each municipality was considered as an explicit stratum. The stratification is done for those municipalities classified as category B municipalities (local municipalities) and category A municipalities (metropolitan areas) as proclaimed at the time of Census 2001. However, the newly proclaimed boundaries as well as any higher level of geography, such as province or district municipality, were considered as any other domain variable based on their link to the smallest geographic unit - the enumeration area.

Mode of data collection
---------------------------

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument
---------------------------

The CS 2016 questionnaire consisted of six main sections, 11 sub-sections and a total of 225 questions. A first draft of the paper questionnaire was developed in February 2015 and various versions were reviewed and updated thereafter based on discussions with stakeholders. The target population of the survey was all persons in the sampled dwelling who were present on the reference night (i.e. the night between 6 and 7 March 2016). The final CAPI questionnaire was made up of three person rosters. One roster was utilised for the person information, one roster for emigration and one roster for mortality.

摘要
---------------------------
社区调查是一项全国性代表性、大规模的家庭调查，旨在提供有关南非贫困家庭范围、其获得服务以及失业水平的信息，涵盖国家、省级和市级层面。调查的主要目标包括：
1. 弥合国家人口和住房普查之间的数据差距
2. 提供比现有家庭调查更低的地理层级估计
3. 为下一轮普查建立能力
4. 为年中人口预测提供输入。
地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
调查覆盖整个南非。
分析单位
---------------------------
家庭
总体
---------------------------
社区调查涵盖了南非所有法定家庭成员（常住居民）。调查排除了集体生活区（机构）以及被归类为休闲区或机构的某些家庭。
数据类型
---------------------------
样本调查数据 [ssd]
抽样程序
---------------------------
社区调查采用的抽样程序是两阶段分层随机抽样过程。第一阶段涉及抽选统计区域，第二阶段为抽选住宅单位。由于需要为每个地方市政当局提供数据，因此每个市政当局被视为一个明确的层。分层是根据当时普查（2001年）宣布的B类市政（地方市政）和A类市政（大都市区）进行的。然而，新宣布的边界以及任何更高层级的地理，如省份或地区市政，被视为与最小地理单位——统计区域相关的任何其他域变量。

研究工具
---------------------------
CS 2016问卷由六个主要部分、11个子部分和总计225个问题组成。初步的纸质问卷草案于2015年2月开发，并在与利益相关者讨论后进行了多次审查和更新。调查的目标人群是所有在抽样住宅中于参考之夜（即2016年3月6日至7日之夜）出现的被调查者。最终的CAPI问卷由三个人员名单组成。一个名单用于人员信息，一个名单用于移民，一个名单用于死亡率。
