Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
Aceh Reintegration and Livelihood Survey (ARLS) was funded by the World Bank and designed by a team of researchers from Columbia, Harvard and Stanford Universities. The survey was implemented in Aceh by the research firm A.C. Nielsen from July - September 2008.
The far-reaching goal of this research was to assess prospects for peace and reintegration among both civilian and former-combatant populations in Aceh. The immediate goals of the ARLS were twofold. One was to collect individual-level data for an impact evaluation of the World Bank’s BRA-KDP project, a post-conflict community-drive development program. The second was to collect livelihood and reintegration data on a representative sample of ex-combatants, and a control group of civilian males. Surveys were conducted in a representative sample of 754 villages throughout Aceh. In sampled villages, four over-lapping questionnaires were implemented. 1,075 former combatants, 756 village heads, and 3,046 civilians were interviewed.

Survey instrument
-
Long Household Questionnaire (LHS): Conducted in a representative sample of villages from the 67 rural subdistricts that received BRA-KDP, as well as in a representative sample of villages in 67 matched subdistricts (described in Section 2). Five households were randomly sampled in sampled villages, and main respondents were selected randomly from all males and females between the ages of 18-65 who had lived in the household for at least one month. The LHS is a representative sample of men and women from BRA-KDP treatment and control subdistricts. It is not representative of other subdistricts and is not representative at the district level.
-
Short Household Questionnaire (SHS): Implemented in a representative sample of all subdistricts not included in the LHS. The main goal of this survey is to provide, in conjunction with the LHS, an Aceh-wide representative control group of adult males between the ages of 18-65 for the ex-combatant survey. Male respondents were sampled from two randomly sampled households in selected rural villages and eight randomly sampled households in urban villages. A representative sample of male respondents can be achieved by combining the SHS and the male sub-population of the LHS.
-
Ex-TNA Questionnaire: An Aceh-wide representative sample of ex-combatants. Eligible respondents included anyone who fought with GAM-TNA, or was in the GAM-TNA command structure, for at least one month since 1998. A full list of ex-TNA was enumerated in each of the 754 villages and ex-TNA were sampled with a 6 in 10 probability.
-
Village Head Questionnaire (VHS): A survey of village-head characteristics, as well as village-level characteristics in all sampled villages.
-
Household Rosters: In the LHS, SHS and Ex-TNA surveys, data was collected on every member of the respondent's 1998 and 2008 households. The roster includes demographic, welfare, recruitment and conflict data on all members in the household at those times.
