The quake took a large number of human and animal lives causing massive damage to the buildings and infrastructure in 14 most affected districts namely Dolakha, Ramechhap, Okhaldhunga, Sindhupalchok, Kavrepalanchok, Sindhuli, Makawanpur, Dhading, Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Gorakha, Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur and inflicted minor damage in 17 less affected districts namely Solukhumbu, Shankhuwasabha, Bhojpur, Dhankuta, Khotang, Chitwan, Nawalparasi, Arghakhanchi, Palpa, Gulmi, Syangja, Parbat, Baglung, Myagdi, Kaski, Tanahun, and Lamjung disricts. The Government successfully carried out instant relief and rescue operation by coordinating national and international well-wishers' hand and cooperation. The government also completed Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) in about a month after the quake which assessed the level and extent of damage in the national level and helped the government to garner international support in the future reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts.\n\nThe PDNA sufficiently provided quick and summary assessment of the total damage but it did not have the detail information necessary to provide individual assistance to housing reconstruction. A detailed and comprehensive household survey to identify beneficiaries of the housing support was also a precondition of some of the development partners including the World Bank to ensure transparency while providing grants. Therefore, the government decided to conduct this earthquake affected housing survey in order to identify beneficiaries to receive the support.\n\nObjectives of this survey are:\nCollection ot information about earthquake affected houses.\nCollection of socio-economic information about earthquake affected households.\nTo prepare electronic database of earthquake affected house and household.\n\nCensus model was used in the in 11 districts and rural areas of Lalitpur district whereas verification model was used in the municipal areas of Kathmandu valley and 17 districts. In the census model, irrespective of the extent of damage, each and every private residential building was visited and assessed. But verification model was used in the municipal areas of Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur districts and 17 districts in which the households enlisted and certified by the local village and municipal authorities as earthquake affected households were only visited and assessed. The use of already existed list significantly reduced the amount of survey work and hence time. In the survey, private residential houses were visited and assessed by trained surveyors. Irrespective of the ownership of the land or the houses built on such land, the damage level of the houses were assessed as long as they were used or built for residential purposes.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2016-01-15","end":"2016-06-20","cycle":"First "},{"start":"2016-07-11","end":"2016-09-15","cycle":"Second"},{"start":"2016-11-21","end":"2017-04-14","cycle":"Third"}],"nation":[{"name":"Nepal","abbreviation":"NPL"}],"geog_coverage":"Earthquake affected 31 districts: \nComplete Census: Okhaldhunga, Sindhuli, Ramechhap, Dolakha, Sindhupalchok, Kavrepalanchok,  Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Makawanpur, Dhading, Gorkha\n \nVerification Model (on the basis of PDNA basis): Solukhumbu, Sankhuwashabha, Bhojpur,  Khotang, Dhankuta,  Bhaktapur, Kathmandu, Lalitpur,Chitwan, Nawalparasi, Arghakhanchi, Gulmi, Palpa, Tanahu, Lamjung, Kaski, Parbat, Syangja, Baglung, Myagdi","analysis_unit":"Units of Analysis: Individual, Households and Houses","universe":"For 11 districts: Census\nFor 20 Districts: Verification model - damaged houses only.","data_kind":"Census\/enumeration data [cen]","notes":"The scope of the HRHRS includes:\nHOUSE OWNER INFORMATION: Number of owners, sex of house owners, number of houses within and out of enumeration area\n\nHOUSE INFORMATION:  Legal ownership of land, condition of the house after the earthquake and its aftershocks, condition of house before earthquake,  foundation of the building, damage grade of house, technnical solution of damaged house, types of house, position ofhouse,  plan configuration of the house, Building Damage Assessment and geotechnical risk.\n\nDEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION: Information about the household head, Income of the household head, individual information, marrital status, death, age, sex, disability, educatioin status, size of family, social security allowance, facilities use by the household etc."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Central Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"CBS","affiliation":"National Planning Commission Secretariat, Government of Nepal"}],"sampling_procedure":"Census of damaged houses: Complete enumeration.","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"The questionnaire consists two parts:\nPart 1: Detailed Information on Damage Assessment of Residential Buildings\n       1.1.

A five-day master training of trainers (MToT) was organized at CBS in which 40 persons consisting of senior engineers of Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), members of CTTF and senior statisticians of CBS. The members of CTTF and senior engineers from ministry of urban development who were directly involved in the questionnaire and manual preparation were employed as the resource persons for the MToT. These persons from the MToT were used as resource persons in the five-day surveyor engineers training that were conducted in Kathmandu in a number of phases as required. This training consisted of four-day of extensive class sessions, mock and peer interview, and case study and one day of field work and discussion. The logistics and venue management for the training was done by the local suppliers hired by UNOPS.\n\nThe district survey management office in the survey districts conducted three-days training for social mobilizers selected to accompany the surveyor engineers in the survey.\nThe paper questionnaire was tested in Sankhu village of Kathmandut in which about 50 households were interviewed. After some modifications after the field test, a draft version of CAPI was prepared and a two-day pilot test was carried out in about 150 households of the Ravi Opi village development committee of Kavrepalanchok district in which the flow of the questions in the CAPI, data transfer to the server and its management, and other aspects of field management like time and HR management were tested.\n\nInterviews average time was 30 to 45 minutes for the HRHRS questionnaire including measuring of house.\nBefore collecting data surveyor, VDC\/Municipality representative and community  meeting was conducted.\nInterviews were conducted in Nepali language.\n\nEvery possible measure to enhance the quality of survey was adopted during different phases of the survey. In this respect, coordination of all the relevant stakeholders were ensured during questionnaire design. Similarly, check programs were built in the system of CAPI to deal with inconsistency in the answers provided by the respondents and any mistakes inadvertently creeped into the system during the recording of the answers. This resulted in significant increment of quality of the collected data. Two 24-hour help desk for the survey team at CBS were established during the survey which provided appropriate direction to the surveyors. In addition, a toll-free number was also set up at CBS during the period of field work. Similarly, the data uploaded at the server from the field were constantly monitored using trained civil\/structural engineers and appropriate instructions were given to the surveyors through telephone in case of any inconsistent data upload.\n\nAppropriate mechanisms were set up in the center and districts for effective supervision and monitoring of the survey activities. The members of the steering and technical committee, and CTTF team members were extensively mobilized from the center for supervision and monitoring of the training, field work and data management. The coordination committee formed in the district in the chairmanship of the chief district officer and the district survey management office members supervised the field work as well.\nThe data management team at the center also monitored the data online and gave appropriate instructions to the surveyors in the field. \n\nComputer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) was used for the first time in the history of data collection by CBS. The CAPI application to be used in the TABLET for data collection was prepared by a local software developer contracted by UNOPS. The application was prepared by using ODK (Open Data Kit) platform. Such data collected in the field was sent instantly to the central server of CBS housed at Government Integrated Data Center (GIDC) through the mobile network in the TABLET or WIFI.","act_min":"The survey team was comprised of two persons \u2013 an engineer and a social mobilizer. The surveyor engineers were contracted for a period of 2 months of which 45 days were set aside for the field work and 15 days were set aside for training and travel. The engineers played the key leading role in the building assessment and individual interview while the social mobilizers facilitated the overall data collection. The survey mobilized 2632 surveyor engineers including supervisors and nearly an equal number of social mobilizers. The surveyor engineers were recruited and provided by local manpower suppliers under an agreement with the United Nations Office for Project Services, Nepal (UNOPS, Nepal). On the other hand, social mobilizers working locally with MoFALD in the village development committees and municipalities were utilized in the survey.\n\nThe District Survey Management Office (DSMO) established in each of 31 districts shouldered the overall responsibility of planning, implementing and managing all the local activities of the survey.\nThe DSMO provided each of the survey team with a specified job (designated area or list of households) which was to be completed in the given time.\nThe DSMO also conducted the local level awareness programs and information campaign for the survey. Besides, the DSMO also managed for local level coordination and support for the survey.","cleaning_operations":"Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) was used for the first time in the history of data collection by CBS.
