Household Survey for Evaluation of Climate Change Community-Based Adaptation Model for Food Security in Thailand, 2014

The <I>Household Survey for Evaluation of Climate Change Community-Based Adaptation Model for Food Security in Thailand, 2014</I> data were collected by Oxfam GB as part of the organisation's Global Performance Framework. Under this framework, a small number of completed or mature projects are selected at random each year for an evaluation of their impact, known as an Effectiveness Review. These data were used to evaluate the impact of the project titled 'Development and Scaling Up of a Climate Change Community-Based Adaptation Model for Food Security in Thailand'. Since 2004, Oxfam has partnered with a local organisation in Thailand, Earth Net Foundation (ENF), to promote organic rice farming and fair trade marketing in Yasothorn province. Beginning in 2008, Oxfam and ENF piloted a climate change adaptation project, which provided climate change knowledge to promote the re-planning of rice farming. The project also established a small grant to encourage farmers to invest in water management systems. In 2011 the project was scaled up, with the objective of increasing resilience and adaptation capacity of small-scale farmers to weather variability and climate change. It also aimed to support the national development of an agenda on climate change and food security, and foster cooperation among NGOs, CBOs, academics, government, and the private sector to achieve such goals. In February 2015 Oxfam administered a questionnaire in 247 households of project beneficiaries and 505 comparison households in order to evaluate the project. Quasi-experimental methods were used to evaluate the impact of the project by matching project beneficiaries with non-beneficiaries on a range of characteristics. <br> <br> <I>Anonymisation</I>:<br> Village and district names have been removed from data. The following variables have been recoded so as to prevent unique cases that may allow identification of the respondents: main productive activity of household (combined categories) household size (capped at 8 members), age (binned in 5-year intervals), size of house (capped at 6+ rooms) and identifying characteristics of house (combined categories of roof material and wall material).<br> <br>《2014年泰国粮食安全气候变化社区适应模式评估家庭调查》（Household Survey for Evaluation of Climate Change Community-Based Adaptation Model for Food Security in Thailand, 2014）数据集由英国乐施会（Oxfam GB）收集，作为该组织全球绩效框架的组成部分。该框架每年会随机遴选少量已完成或成熟的项目开展影响评估，此项评估被称为有效性审查。本数据集被用于评估题为“泰国粮食安全气候变化社区适应模式的开发与推广”的项目所产生的影响。 自2004年起，英国乐施会便与泰国本地组织地球网络基金会（Earth Net Foundation, ENF）开展合作，在亚索通府推广有机水稻种植与公平贸易营销。2008年起，双方试点实施气候变化适应项目，向农户传授气候变化相关知识，以推动水稻种植规划的优化调整；同时设立小额赠款，鼓励农户投资水利管理系统。2011年，该项目扩大实施范围，旨在提升小规模农户应对天气波动与气候变化的韧性与适应能力。此外，项目还致力于支持国家制定气候变化与粮食安全相关议程，并促进非政府组织（non-governmental organizations, NGOs）、社区组织（community-based organizations, CBOs）、学界、政府与私营部门之间的合作，以达成上述目标。 2015年2月，英国乐施会向247户项目受益家庭与505户对照家庭发放问卷，以开展项目评估。研究采用准实验方法，通过匹配项目受益户与非受益户的多维度特征，对项目的影响进行评估。 匿名化说明： 数据已移除村庄与区县名称。为避免出现可唯一识别受访者的情况，以下变量已进行重编码处理：家庭主要生产活动（合并分类）、家庭规模（上限设置为8人）、年龄（以5年为间隔分箱）、住房规模（上限设置为6间及以上）以及住房识别特征（将屋顶材料与墙面材料进行合并分类）。
