BACKGROUND Getting a random household sample during a survey can be expensive and very difficult especially in urban area and non-specialist. This study aimed to test an alternative method using freely available aerial imagery. METHODS A gridded map and random selection method was used to select households for interviews. A hundred numbered of points were put along the edges of an updated map of Maroua. Then two numbers were randomly draw at a time and a line was drawn between those two numbers. A lot of different kinds of shapes of different sizes obtained were numbered. Ten shapes were randomly draw and the one selected were considered as 'neighbourhoods'. A grid of 30 m × 30 m was drawn over each and then numbered. 202 grids considered here as households were randomly selected from the ten neighbourhoods for interviews. RESULTS Out of 202 households visited, only 4 were found to be something other than a house. In addition, 30 sampled households (14.85%) were abandoned or the occupants had relocated elsewhere. This method resulted in an accuracy level of 72%, its advantage is the ability to generate efficient random sample at relatively low cost as well the time required. CONCLUSIONS The method proposed in this study was efficient and cost-effective when compared to the infield generation of a household inventory or Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking of households. It can then be used by researchers in low-incomes countries where funding for research is a challenge. However, this method needs to train the investigators on how to use the GPS.

使用Google Earth™和地理信息系统数据来描绘城市家庭调查的样本域:Maroua(遥远北部地区-喀麦隆)的情况。

背景技术在调查期间获取随机的家庭样本可能是昂贵且非常困难的,尤其是在市区和非专业人员的情况下。这项研究旨在测试使用免费提供的航空影像的替代方法。方法采用网格地图和随机选择方法选择住户进行访谈。在更新的Maroua地图的边缘放置了一百个点。然后一次随机绘制两个数字,并在这两个数字之间划一条线。对获得的许多不同大小的形状进行了编号。随机绘制了10个形状,选择的1个被视为“社区”。在每个网格上绘制30 m×30 m的网格,然后编号。从十个社区中随机选择了202个被视为家庭的网格进行采访。结果在访问的202户家庭中,只有4户被发现不是房屋。此外,有30个抽样家庭(占14.85%)被放弃或居住者搬迁到其他地方。该方法的准确度为72%,其优点是能够以相对较低的成本以及所需的时间生成有效的随机样本。结论与野外调查家庭清单或跟踪家庭的全球定位系统(GPS)相比,本研究中提出的方法既有效又具有成本效益。然后,低收入国家的研究人员就可以使用它,因为研究经费是一个挑战。但是,此方法需要培训研究人员如何使用GPS。30个抽样家庭(占14.85%)被放弃或居住者搬迁到其他地方。此方法的准确度为72%,其优点是能够以相对较低的成本以及所需的时间生成有效的随机样本。结论与野外调查家庭清单或跟踪家庭的全球定位系统(GPS)相比,本研究中提出的方法既有效又具有成本效益。然后,低收入国家的研究人员就可以使用它,因为研究经费是一个挑战。但是,此方法需要培训研究人员如何使用GPS。30个抽样家庭(占14.85%)被放弃或居住者搬迁到其他地方。该方法的准确度为72%,其优点是能够以相对较低的成本以及所需的时间生成有效的随机样本。结论与野外调查家庭清单或跟踪家庭的全球定位系统(GPS)相比,本研究中提出的方法既有效又具有成本效益。然后,低收入国家的研究人员就可以使用它,因为研究经费是一个挑战。但是,此方法需要培训研究人员如何使用GPS。它的优点是能够以相对较低的成本以及所需的时间生成有效的随机样本。结论与野外调查家庭清单或跟踪家庭的全球定位系统(GPS)相比,本研究中提出的方法既有效又具有成本效益。然后,低收入国家的研究人员就可以使用它,因为研究经费是一个挑战。但是,此方法需要培训研究人员如何使用GPS。它的优点是能够以相对较低的成本以及所需的时间生成有效的随机样本。结论与野外调查家庭清单或跟踪家庭的全球定位系统(GPS)相比,本研究中提出的方法既有效又具有成本效益。然后,低收入国家的研究人员就可以使用它,因为研究经费是一个挑战。但是,此方法需要培训研究人员如何使用GPS。
