每年都在进行数以千计的关于发展中国家农村生计的调查。不幸的是，许多人在方法上存在弱点，在执行上也存在问题。量化家庭对多种环境资源(森林、灌木、草原和河流)的依赖尤其困难，在调查中往往被简单地忽视。因此，结果不能反映农村的实际情况。特别是，来自自然资源的“隐藏的收获”通常对发展研究、政策和实践的生计太重要，不容忽视。因此，使用最先进的方法，特别是设计良好的家庭问卷进行实地调查，成为充分了解农村福利的关键方面的当务之急。这本书描述了如何在设计和实施家庭和村庄调查以定量评估发展中国家的农村生计时做得更好。它涵盖了从规划到共享研究成果的整个研究过程。它借鉴了一个大型全球比较项目--贫困环境网络(PEN)的经验，以制定更有力和更有效的方法，并通过实地的大量实际例子加以丰富。这本书将为学生和专业人士提供一本宝贵的方法指南和实用手册。
Thousands of surveys on rural livelihoods in developing countries are being done every year. Unfortunately, many suffer from weaknesses in methods and problems in implementation. Quantifying households' dependence on multiple environmental resources (forests, bush, grasslands and rivers) is particularly difficult and often simply ignored in the surveys. The results therefore do not reflect rural realities. In particular, 'the hidden harvest' from natural resources is generally too important to livelihoods for development research, policies and practice to ignore. Fieldwork using state-of-the-art methods, and in particular well-designed household questionnaires, thus becomes an imperative to adequately capture key dimensions of rural welfare. This book describes how to do a better job when designing and implementing household and village surveys for quantitative assessment of rural livelihoods in developing countries. It covers the entire research process from planning to sharing research results. It draws on the experiences from a large global-comparative project, the Poverty Environment Network (PEN), to develop more robust and validated methods, enriched by numerous practical examples from the field. The book will provide an invaluable guide to methods and a practical handbook for students and professionals.
