Convergence and divergence in energy-related practices: Understanding demand in the Global South

This data set consists of 11 transcriptions of semi-structured interviews
with households. 5 of the transcribed interviews were conducted in
Bangkok, Thailand and 6 in Hanoi, Vietnam. Altogether 51 interviews were
conducted (26 in Bangkok, 31 in Hanoi) but only a selection of 11
interviews is archived in the database. The interview themes include the
ownership of domestic appliances and their use. The interviews were in
Thai or in Vietnamese and translated in situ by a research assistant.
Transcriptions were made based on audio files by local research assistants
and they are not verbatim. Note: A sheet of paper was used in the
interview situation where a timeline of the different houses the
interviewee had lived in was drawn, and all the appliances used in those
houses were marked. Timeline is not archived. The transcripts can be
accessed on request. Please write to [e-mail] stating the
