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代表性、大规模的家庭调查，旨在提供有关南非贫困家庭程度、其获取服务情况及失业水平的信息，调查范围涵盖国家、省级和市级。该调查的主要目标包括：
1. 弥补国家人口和住房普查之间的数据空白
2. 提供比现有家庭调查更低的地理级别估计值
3. 为下一轮普查建立能力
4. 为年中人口预测提供数据输入。

地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
调查覆盖整个南非。

分析单元
---------------------------
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）。调查排除了集体居住区（机构）以及被归类为休闲区或机构的某些居住区。

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为两阶段分层随机抽样过程。第一阶段涉及抽样区域的选取，第二阶段是住宅单元的选取。由于数据需求针对每个地方市政，因此每个市政被视为一个明确的层。分层针对的是那些被归类为B类市政（地方市政）和A类市政（大都市地区）的市政，这些分类是在2001年人口普查时宣布的。然而，新宣布的边界以及任何更高层次的地理单位，如省份或地区市政，都被视为任何其他域变量，基于其与最小地理单元——抽样区域之间的联系。

研究工具
---------------------------
2016年的CS问卷由六个主要部分、11个子部分和总共225个问题组成。2015年2月，一份初步的纸质问卷草案被制定，并根据与利益相关者的讨论进行了多次审查和更新。调查的目标人口是样本住宅中在参考之夜（即2016年3月6日至7日之夜）在场的人员。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。
