本文提出了一种新的数据收集方法，称为邻里历史日历，旨在收集随着时间的推移，社区一级的变化的事件历史。我们讨论了这种方法的必要性和用途。我们描述的问题有关的设计工具，收集数据和数据输入。我们提供了详细的例子，从应用这种方法的婚姻，避孕和生育率在尼泊尔农村的研究。本文讨论了同样的技术在其他环境和研究问题中的应用。我们还将该技术扩展到收集其他形式的背景历史数据，包括学校历史和医疗服务历史。最后，我们将讨论如何利用地理信息系统（GIS）技术将多个背景历史数据源联系在一起。
This paper presents a new data collection method, called the Neighborhood History Calendar, designed to collect event histories of community-level changes over time. We discuss the need for and the uses of this method. We describe issues related to the design of instruments, collection of data, and data entry. We provide detailed examples from an application of this method to the study of marriage, contraception, and fertility in rural Nepal. The paper addresses applications of this same technique to other settings and research problems. We also extend the technique to collection of other forms of contextual-history data, including school histories and health service histories. Finally, we discuss how Geographic Information System (GIS) technology can be used to link together multiple sources of contextual-history data.
