Land Area Measurement in Household Surveys: Empirical Evidence and Practical Guidance for Effective Data Collection

    

Image
This Guidebook is intended to be a reference for survey practitioners looking for guidance on measuring land area in household surveys. The menu of available methods for measuring land area is diverse and selection of the appropriate method depends on several factors. In this Guidebook, we focus on those methods that are relevant for agricultural sample surveys, agricultural censuses, multi-topic surveys that cover agriculture (such as most Living Standard Measurement Study (LSMS) surveys), and other smaller-scale household surveys carried out for research purposes and project monitoring and evaluation.
