Agricultural Census [ag/census]
Series Information
The Republic of Korea participated in the decennial WCA, with agricultural censuses being conducted every ten years from 1960 to 1990 (in 1960, 1970, 1980 and 1990). Starting in 1995, agricultural censuses in Korea are undertaken every five years.' Starting in 2010, three censuses were consolidated into a single census, the Census of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (CAFF), with a periodicity of five years. In addition, the Rural Community Survey, implemented since 1980, was carried out concurrently with the CAFF 2015.
Abstract
(a) Purpose:
To provide basic data required for making policies on agriculture, forestry & fisheries and setting up development plans for farming, forestry and fishing villages of central and local governments
To produce a framework for academic research data and sample surveys on farming, forestry and fishing villages
To produce statistics for small administrative divisions such as 'Eup', 'Myeon', 'Dong' and provide agriculture, forestry and fisheries data that countries can exchange or use for analysis
(b) History:
1960: Carried out the first Agricultural National Census
1970: Carried out the first Census of Fisheries
1995: Changed the survey frequency (10 years -> 5 years)
1998: Carried out the first Census of Forestry
2000: Carried out the Census of Agriculture and the Census of Fisheries simultaneously
2005: Carried out the Census of Agriculture, the Census of Forestry and the Census of Fisheries simultaneously
2010: Combined the three censuses
2015: Carried out the Internet survey

Data Collection Notes
Data collection from households was conducted using mainly the PAPI method. The CAWI method was also used, although to a lesser extent. The community survey was conducted using the CAWI method.
Questionnaires
Questionnaires
Four questionnaires were used for data collection:
(i) the agricultural and forestry household questionnaire
(ii) two questionnaires for the fishery sector (marine fisheries and inland water fisheries)
(iii) the rural community questionnaire
The CAFF 2015 census questionnaires covered 14 of the 16 core items recommended for the WCA 2010 round. The following core items were not covered by the CAFF:
(i) "Main purpose of production of the holding"
(ii) "Land tenure types on the holding".

Data Processing
Data Editing
Data processing:
To ensure accuracy and efficiency in data processing, the ICR data entry system was used together with the Editing and Imputation System. The CAFF 2010, the PHC 2015 and administrative data were used for imputation, and the CHAID algorithm was used to construct donor groups. The hot-deck method was also used for imputing missing data. SAS was used for analysis and tabulations. After dissemination of the CAFF's final results, the microdata were transferred to the central data centre operated by the Government and provided to users through the Micro-Data Integrated Service (MDIS).To assess the quality of census data, a PES was conducted from 18 December 2015 to 24 December 2015. To ensure quality during field operations, consistency checks were implemented in the system.

Data Appraisal
Data Appraisal
The CAWI method was applied in the collection of community survey data and, to some extent, the collection of census data from households. Scanning technology (using Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) was applied for data capture of holdings' questionnaires. The census results were disseminated and are accessible online.
