Description

The household listing operation, each selected cluster will be visited to:

  1. Update the existing map of the cluster or, if not available, create a map by drawing a sketch map of the cluster identifying the cluster boundaries and the structures in the cluster, and
  2. Record on the household listing forms a description of every structure including all the dwelling units and non-residential units in each structure, and the address (or location identifiers) and name of the head of household for each occupied dwelling unit found in the structure.

The household listing operation will be carried out in each selected cluster by a household listing and mapping team prior to the main survey. Each team generally consists of two people working as a team: one will primarily work as the Mapper, while the other will be the Lister. Supervisors will be overseeing teams, while the overall household listing operation will be monitored by a Listing Coordinator. The MICS Coordinator and National MICS Consultant will also conduct monitoring visits during the listing operation.

The Mapper and the Lister should work together at the same time and in the same area. They will first identify the cluster boundaries together, and then the Mapper prepares the base and sketch maps while the Lister completes the household listing forms, filling in the required information. The base and sketch maps and the Household Listing Form must be prepared in tandem.

The household listing operation involves three main activities: locating each cluster, preparing the sketch map of each cluster (and base map if needed), and listing all structures, units and households found in each cluster. In some cases, an additional activity, segmentation, is required for large sample EAs.

The listing team will typically make two tours of the cluster: the first to identify the cluster boundaries and identify the main structures, roads, streets and landmarks within the cluster and draw them on the sketch map, and the second to conduct the listing and complete the drawing of all structures on the sketch map.
