Survey of Syrian Refugees and Host Communities, 2015-2016 - Jordan

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

The Syrian crisis has caused one of the largest episodes of forced displacement since World War II and some of the densest refugee-hosting situations in modern history. Syria's immediate neighbors host the bulk of Syrian refugees. The host countries were dealing with impact of inflow of refugees as well as consequences of the Syrian conflict such as disruption on trade and economic activity and growth and spread of the Islamic State. This survey was designed to generate comparable findings on the lives and livelihoods of Syrian refugees and host communities in Jordan, Lebanon and Kurdistan, Iraq.

The goals of the survey originally were:
- to assess the socio-economic and living conditions of a representative sample of the Syrian refugee and host community population.
- to understand the implications in terms of social and economic conditions on the host communities.
- to identify strategies to support Syrian refugees and host communities in the immediate and longer term.

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

Jordan has carried out Population and Housing Censuses on regular intervals, with the last one in late 2015. What was particularly attractive about the latest census from the perspective of sampling was that it explicitly asked about the nationality of all residents. This would have allowed stratification of areas by density of Syrians. However, the original design could not be implemented because we could not access the new sample frame based on the 2015 Jordanian census. The design was then amended to include a representative sample of the Azraq and Za'atari camps (which account for the vast majority of Syrian refugees in camps in Jordan). This sample was complemented by purposive samples of the surrounding governorates, Mafraq and Zarqa, where the sample included areas physically proximate to the camp and other areas with a high number of Syrian refugees. In Amman Governorate, a purposive sample was drawn, combining a geographically distributed sample with a sample of areas with a high prevalence of Syrian refugees per the 2015 census, as indicated by the Jordanian Department of Statistics. Analytically, this implies the insights from Jordan will be limited to camp residents, neighboring areas of the camps, and Amman governorate. For this reason, Amman is left out of the rest of the discussion, where our focus is on relating the innovative approaches that we followed to obtain near-representative sample in absence of recent sampling frame.

Note: A more detailed description of the sample design is presented in Section 2 of "Survey Design and Sampling: A methodology note for the 2015-16 surveys of Syrian refugees and host communities in Jordan, Lebanon and Kurdistan, Iraq" document.

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

Face-to-face [f2f]

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

The survey instrument was administered across Lebanon, Jordan, and KRI, with slight modifications depending on the structure of refugee living conditions. The survey includes detailed questions on demographics, employment, access to public services, health, migration, and perceptions.

摘要
---------------------------
叙利亚危机引发了自第二次世界大战以来最大规模的强制迁移现象，同时也是现代史上最为密集的难民接待情况之一。叙利亚的直接邻国承担了大部分叙利亚难民的重担。这些东道国在应对难民涌入的影响以及叙利亚冲突的后果，例如贸易和经济发展活动的中断以及伊斯兰国势力的扩散和蔓延的同时，进行了此次调查。调查的初衷目标是：
- 评估叙利亚难民和东道国社区代表性样本的社会经济和居住条件。
- 理解东道国在社会和经济条件方面的影响。
- 识别支持叙利亚难民和东道国社区短期和长期发展的策略。

抽样程序
---------------------------
约旦定期进行人口和住房普查，最近一次普查在2015年年底。从抽样角度来看，最新普查的一个特别吸引人的特点是它明确询问了所有居民的国籍。这将允许根据叙利亚人的密集程度对地区进行分层。然而，由于我们无法访问基于2015年约旦普查的新样本框架，原始设计无法实施。因此，设计被修改，包括对阿兹拉克和扎塔尔难民营（占约旦营地中绝大多数叙利亚难民）的代表性样本。这个样本通过有目的的抽样得到了补充，包括马弗拉克和扎尔卡周边省份，其中样本包括靠近营地的地区和其他叙利亚难民数量众多的地区。在大马士革省，抽取了一个有目的的样本，结合了地理分布的样本和根据约旦统计局的数据，具有高比例叙利亚难民的地区的样本。从分析的角度来看，这意味着约旦的见解将仅限于营地居民、营地周边地区以及大马士革省。因此，在讨论的其余部分中，我们排除了大马士革，因为我们关注的焦点是在没有最近抽样框架的情况下，如何获得近似代表性样本的创新方法。
