Each oblast was further subdivided into smaller areas called census section, instructor's sector and enumeration sector (ES).  Each ES is either totally urban or rural.  The list of ESs has census information on the population of each ES, and the ES lists were grouped by oblast. \n\nIn 2005, UNICEF implemented a Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MIC-05) in Tajikistan during which an electronic database of the ES information was created.  Information in this database included: oblast, rayon, jamoat, settlement type, city\/village, ES code, and population.  Information from this database was used in the sample design of the TLSS07. \n\nThe total number of clusters for the Tajikistan LSS 2007 was established as 270 and total number of households per cluster was established as 18, resulting in a sample size of 4,860.  The sample size was determined by considering: \n\u2022 The reliability of the survey estimates on both regional and national level \n\u2022 Quality of the data collected for the survey \n\u2022 Cost in time for the data collection \n\u2022 An oversample in 7 rayons in Khatlon","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","weight":"Refer to World Bank Data","cleaning_operations":"Data Entry and Cleaning \n\nThe data entry program was designed using CSPro, a data entry package developed by the US Census Bureau.  This software allows programs to be developed to perform three types of data checks: (a) range checks; (b) intra-record checks to verify inconsistencies pertinent to the particular module of the questionnaire; and (c) inter-record checks to determine inconsistencies between the different modules of the questionnaire. \n\nThe data from the First Round were key entered at the Goskomstat headquarters in Dushanbe starting 4 October 2007 through 25 November 2007.  The Second Round and Sughd data were key entered from 26 November 2007 through 12 December 2007.  All of the data were double entered with both the First Round, Second Round and Sughd re-collection double entry being completed by 22 January 2008."},"analysis_info":{"data_appraisal":"The data cleaning process began in February 2008 and was completed at the end of May 2008.\n\nHow to Use the Data:\n\nThere are three separate data bases with the data from the TLSS07. The data from each data collection is maintained separately. The data sets have similar names in each of the three separate data collections.  First Round data sets have names in the form of \"r1mnp\" where \"n\" is the number of the module, and \"p\" is the part of the module (if any).  Data from the Subjective Poverty module would be stored as \"r1m9\" and data from the Migration module, Part C Family Members Living Away from the Household would be stored as \"r1m2c\". Second Round data set names have a similar form \"r2mnp\". Data sets from the Sughd collection replace the \"m\" of the First Round with \"sm\", such as sm12a1. \n\nThe variable names have a similar format.  Each variable name includes the module in which the variable is found and the question number. For example, question 10 in  Module 4 Health, Part B Utilization of Outpatient Health Care is \"m4b_q10\". The variable names in all three of the data collections have the same format.\n\nIn addition to the individual roster files for each data base, there is also one roster file for all three data bases, rosterall.  This roster file contains the information on all of the households and household members who are included in the data. There is a variable (source) indicating if the household\/member is: (a) in Round 1 only; (b) in Round 2 only; (c) in Round 1 and Round 2; or (d) in the Sughd data. It is important to pay attention to this variable as the recall periods for the Subjective Poverty and Food Security Module (9A) is the last 4 weeks in the First Round, but changed to the last 2 weeks in the Second Round and the Sughd collection. In addition, the order of the question in the Expenditure On Food In The Last 7 Days, Module 10, changed"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"The users shall not take any action with the purpose of identifying any individual entity (i.e. person, household, enterprise, etc.) in the micro dataset(s).
