This survey was undertaken to evaluate the role of informal institutions such as the family and local networks and formal institutions in helping to support the welfare and well-being of individuals in urban areas of Thailand. Questions concerned Village Identification, Characteristics of Village Headman, Settlement and Population, Institutions and Organizations, Technological Change and Important Events, Transportation, Land, Occupation, Social Structure and Welfare, Village Leadership, Income/Welfare Fluctuations and Ranking of Villages in the Tambon were collected. Area selection: The survey picks 16 communities in municipal areas of each amphoe under the ongoing Townsend’s project (Rural Survey). However, the numbers of communities in each amphoe vary between 1 to 18 communities; the Muang district has the largest number of communities, while other municipalities have no more than 4 communities. In order to cover the majority of both areas and community, the survey chooses 10 communities in Muang district and additional 2 commun ities in other municipal areas in 3 amphoes in each province, totaling 96 communities. The choices of amphoes for urban survey are as follow: 1. Chachoengsao includes Muang district and 3 amphoes, namely Bangpakong, Bangkla and Phanomsarakam. Amphoe Bang Nam Priao and Amphoe Sanamchai have only 1 community and 2 villages that are semi-urban. In addition, there are villages included in the Townsend Rural Survey. Amphoe Khao Takiab is excluded for the reason that there is no muinicipality. 2. Lop Buri the survey covers Amphoe Muang, Ban Mee, Chaibadan and Koksamrong. 3. Buriram the survey covers A mphoe Muang, Prakonchai, Satuk and Nangrong 4. Sisaket the survey covers Amphoe Muang, Kanthararom, Kanthonlak and Uthumpornpisai. Amphoe Prangkoo is excluded for the reason that it has only 1 community. Amphoe Posrisuwan is excluded for the reason that there is no municipality. 5. Satun the survey covers Amphoe Muang, Langu, Tapae and Kuandon. 6. Phrae the survey covers Amphoe Muang, Denchai, Rongkwang and Sungman. Sample Selection: 15 Household are selected from each community for interview. Due to time constraint, the survey decided to use the list of community fund’s member who applied for village/community fund from Government Housing B ank and Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives. Each community fund must have members who are residents of that community no less than 95% of total household in the community. Each member is assigned a number and will be randomly selected. There are 1440 households (240 for each province) in total. The community heads (in the selected sample) are also interviewed; totaling 96 communities. For institutional survey, it is required prior to the community selection that such community must have village/community fund in operation. The village fund committees are interviewed by using Household Questionnaire Initial Survey. The survey includes 96 communities’ funds, saving groups, other group and 26 institutions/organizations of ROSCA.

本调查旨在评估家庭、地方网络等非正式制度与正式制度在助力泰国城市地区居民福祉与生活质量提升方面所发挥的作用。本次调查收集的问题涉及村庄标识、村长特征、定居点与人口情况、制度与组织、技术变革与重大事件、交通状况、土地情况、职业状况、社会结构与福祉、村庄领导力、收入/福祉波动以及乡（Tambon）内村庄排名。
