Survey Methods and Practices

This manual is primarily a practical guide to survey planning, design and implementation. It covers many of the issues related to survey taking and many of the basic methods that can be usefully incorporated into the design and implementation of a survey. The manual does not replace informed expertise and sound judgement, but rather is intended to help build these by providing insight on what is required to build efficient and high quality surveys, and on the effective and appropriate use of survey data in analysis.
