Model Questionnaires

These are a set of ‘Model questionnaires' that can be used with modification by researchers for their work. This questionnaire prototype has been developed by Shubhayu Saha of North Carolina State University for SANDEE. It is primarily intended for researchers involved in studying rural livelihoods. The questionnaires are intended to serve as templates that can be modified to address more context-specific questions.

The available questionnaire modules are:

Agriculture and Livestock
Food, Non-food Consumption and Assets
Forest Dependence and Management
Household information - facilities, demography, employment, health
Preliminary Information
Community questionnaire

In designing the questionnaires, the following resources have been used as valuable references:

• Living Standard Measurement Surveys used by World Bank
• Questionnaire developed by the Poverty-Environment Network at Center for International Forestry (CIFOR)
• Questionnaires developed by Dr. Subhrendu Pattanayak at Research Triangle Institute to conduct public health surveys in Orissa, India

The excel version of the questionnaire is available for SANDEE researchers on request!
