CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1Definition of SurveyOn the survey questions used Polls about public opinion, public health
surveys,market research surveys,government surveys and censuses are all examples of
quantitative research that use contemporary survey methodology to answers questions about a
population. Although censuses do not include a "sample", they do include other aspects of
survey methodology, like questionnaires, interviewers, and non response follow-up
techniques. Surveys provide important information for all kinds of public information and
research fields, e.g., market research, psychology, health professionals and sociology.
A single survey is made of at least a sample (or full population in the case of a
census), a method of data collection (e.g., a questionnaire) and individual questions or items
that become data that can be analyzed statistically. A single survey may focus on different
types of topics such as preferences (e.g., for a presidential candidate), opinions (e.g., should
abortion be legal?), behaviour (smoking and alcohol use), or factual information (e.g.,
income), depending on its purpose. Since survey research is almost always based on a sample
of the population, the success of the research is dependent on the representativeness of the
sample with respect to a target population of interest to the researcher. That target population
can range from the general population of a given country to specific groups of people within
that country, to a membership list of a professional organization, or list of students enrolled in
a school system (see also sampling (statistics) and survey sampling).
Survey methodology as a scientific field seeks to identify principles about the sample design,
data collection instruments, statistical adjustment of data, and data processing, and final dataanalysis that can create systematic and random survey errors. Survey errors are sometimes
analyzed in connection with survey cost. Cost constraints are sometimes framed as improving
quality within cost constraints, or alternatively, reducing costs for a fixed level of quality.
Survey methodology is both a scientific field and a profession, meaning that some
professionals in the field focus on survey errors empirically and others design surveys to
reduce them. For survey designers, the task involves making a large set of decisions about
thousands of individual features of a survey in order to improve it.

METHODOLOGY
3.1 HOUSEHOLD VISIT
The process of house visit was conducted in different parts of the Poonjar
Thekkekkara panchayath.The main aim of visit was to interact with people living around,
know more about their life style, standard of living etc. The objectives of house visit also
include collecting some information about their basic necessities of every individual like
water, energy, food, clean living conditions etc. The house visit was conducted individually
and datas were collected in an orderly manner. The datas were then analysed properly and
depending on the datas and analysis done on datas a conclusion is being reached.
3.2 MEETING THE MEMBERS & GETTING THE REQUIRED INFORMATION
The major objective of the survey involves meeting and interacting with the
people in and around our house hold and in our locality. These meeting and talking to people
helps to understand more about their life style, the problems that they are facing and also help
to understand their needs. This interaction with people also helps them to ask their doubts on
various problems that they are facing and is our duty to help them and to clear the doubts.
Bringing awareness on proper waste treatment and facilitating clean and healthy surroundings
of house. Collecting more datas on mosquito and chances for mosquito breeding. It is also
necessary to understand the ways and measures that are taken by each individual house hold
to reduce mosquito breeding and mosquito bites. Energy management measures taken in each
house and monthly consumption on electricity is to be discussed. The thoughts and believesof each person on the climatic change and the factors that they believe is causing the climatic
changes in our surroundings are to be noted and reported to the respective authorities. The
importance of rain water harvesting and the different ways by which these process a can be
carried out should also be informed to the members of the house. Further making people
aware on the present condition of the world and also the importance on conservation and
reduce usage of our natural resources that are available to us in order to conserve it to the
future generations on earth also.

3.3 OVERALL INSPECTION OF THE PREMISES
As the major objectives of the survey is generally related to the
environment and its aspects with directly or indirectly affect the nature. Hence it is necessary
to visit the houses and its surroundings and observations of the surroundings are to be noted
down. Further it is also necessary to make awareness to the people on the needs of keeping
the house and its surroundings clean and well organised as these can keep as free from
diseases. Another major factor is keeping the house and its premises clean and avoid water
getting stagnant can reduce the breeding of mosquitos and hence reduce the spread of
diseases. Keeping the locality of the house clean is necessary to reduce the chance of even
polluting even our sources of drinking water like wells, pound etc. The dumping of household
waste in the premises of the house and in open places must be avoided. These brings in the
necessity of either a pipe compost in the house and those houses with more members can
prefer a Biogas plant as these is a major source of reducing the use of LPG cylinders and
hence can reduce the expenses spread on energy every year. The most of the premises of
house that I visited were properly maintained and were kept clean and free from dumping of
waste. But there is a better chance for improvement is required in some of the houses too.
3.4 IMPARTING SUGGESTIONS & ADVICE ON IMPROVEMENT OF THE
RESIDENTS
Providing necessary suggestions and advices to the people is a very
essential part of the survey. For these the survey team must prepare them self for proving
necessary guidance and advice to the people in each house hold. These suggestions are to be
provided to the people depending on the measures and methods that are adopted in each
house. The suggestions provided to the people must be effective and their must not be any
chance of complaints. The suggestions must only be provided on proper evaluation on the
house and surroundings. Make sure that the suggestions provided to the people are effective
and free from errors. The duty of the survey team also includes providing necessary advices
to the people. These advices provided to the people must be simple and easy to implement.

Some of the advices & suggestions provided are
Avoid wastage of electricity and increase use of CFL lamps. Avoid the wastage of food materials and grains. Avoid disposal of house hold waste in open place and also introduce proper disposal
of waste such as pipe compost, biogas plant etc.
Avoid cutting down of trees and land degradation. Avoid water to stay stagnant in and around the house hold as these may facilitates
mosquito breeding.
Avoid wastage of water and also take effective ways of water conservation likerainwater harvesting in the houses.
Use more renewable energy sources of energy like solar water heaters, solar cookersetc in our house.
Switching off the fridge and other high power consuming equipments at peak and alsoavoid use of iron box at night from 6pm-10pm.

CHAPTER 4
ANALYSIS OF DATA COLLECTED & FINDINGS
4.1 WATER AVAILABILITY
The availability of water for our needs is very essential. So the availability of
water is very much essential. The following survey was conducted in poonjar thekkekkara
panchayath within a day span of 15 days. At the beginning of survey there was no rain and
the people were suffering from water scarcity. But as the survey proceeded the rainy season
began and the shortage of water came to an end. Hence on the Basic of the survey conducted
only about 20% of the totals of 100 houses were suffering from water scarcity, and the
remaining percentage have no scarcity of water. Most of the people that say they have water
scarcity meet their minimum water requirement from the panchayath water supply system
through the water authority of the state. During days of high water scarcity most of the
houses depend on the water supply from panchayath through the Tanker Lorries. The houses
with wells in their house meet the demand of water from the wells at the time of scarcity
during the summer months.
4.2 DRINKING WATER SCARCITY
The drinking water scarcity is a major factor on concern during the summer
months in our state. Clean and safe drinking water is the fundamental right of each citizen in
the nation. It is the duty of the government and the local authorities to meet this need of
drinking water to the citizens. In our panchayath most of the houses contains wells or tube
wells for meeting their drinking water demands. On the conduction of survey in our locality
in the 100 houses it is seen that only less than 20% (around 16-18%) of the houses only suffer
from drinking water scarcity. These houses also suffer from drinking water scarcity during
the summer months from February to May. The people that generally suffer from the water
scarcity are generally the people that are not financially sound and that they cannot afford
buying water from privet individuals or water suppliers at a high cost. A very few number of
households also use the pipe water for their drinking and cooking purpose after boiling the
pipe water. A good number of houses own there on wells and they do not suffer any scarcity

of drinking water. About 80% of the houses that I visited were free from water drinking water
scarcity. The availability of the rain early is the major factor which recharges the wells and
other water sources. Hence the reduction in water scarcity mainly depends on the monsoon
rains.
4.3 RAIN WATER HARVESTING SYSTEM
Rain water harvesting is one of the most important methods of water
conservation. The rain water harvesting is used to overcome the water scarcity in summer. It
also helps to preserve the lakes, ponds and rivers. The water wasted during rain can be
preserved for future use. The rain water harvesting is generally done either by recharging the
well and also filtering the rain water and direct use. Only 38 %( of 100 houses) only have any
of the water conservation methods. Among these houses about 85% (of 38 houses) have the
water conservation method which involves the Recharging of wells directly from the rain
water by the use of rain water storing pits which are use to penetrate more water to the soil
and hence improve the underground availability and hence recharges the well and other water
sources. The other method of water harvesting involves filtering and direct use. A very few
houses only 15 %( of 38 houses) use these method of Rain water harvesting. In these of
harvesting the rain water is directly collected in tanks and the filtered and can be used directly
after filtering.
4.4 ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION
The electricity conception in all the 100 houses was determined separately.
The conception is generally determined in two months and is determined in units consumed.
The maximum conception rate among them in units is between 200-250 units. Almost 40 %(
of the 100 houses) have this consumption. The minimum consumption rate in units is about
350-400 units and the percentage of houses having these conception is about 4% (of the 100
houses).The other consumption ranges also come in the survey. The consumption of
electricity is mainly determined by the energy meter that is installed by the state electricity
board in each house. The consumption of electricity can be reduced in the house by the use of
the CFL lamps in the house over the incandescent lamps. Further the use of the high power

environment. The plastic is a non degradable material and hence disposed to the ground it
stays as it is after years. The plastic bags used can be disposed by burning them off. These
burning of plastic can create pollution and can damage the ozone layer of the earth. The
plastic bags can be and disposed by collecting them and then giving them for recycling. This
is the most efficient method of disposing of plastic bags. It is necessary to bring awareness in
the people about the use of disposable paper bags in our daily use as it is environmental
friendly and free from pollution and also are degradable material.
4.7 METHODS OF KITCHEN WASTE DISPOSAL
Kitchen waste is the major environmental problem of our entire state. All local
authorities are facing the crisis of the disposal of waste. The waste materials disposed in
common places can cause contagious diseases to spread throughout the region. In my survey
all the people in the houses visited are very much aware of this. All of them are aware of the
different methods of waste disposal at their premises itself. This is due to the steps taken by
the poonjar thekkekkara panchayath officials to adopt disposal of the waste at their origin
itself.
100% of the houses are aware of the pipe compost method of kitchen waste disposal.
This is one of the major projects of our municipality with the help of the state government to
give the pipes used for the disposal, free of cost to all the houses in the panchayath area. This
works well and is 100% successful in some of the houses I visited for the survey.
Even though all are aware of the different waste disposal methods only 9% of them
are using the kitchen waste biogas plant. Even though this a very effective method ordinary
people are not able to adopt this. This is due to the higher initial cost of installing theequipments. This is more effective to the people because of the availability of bio-gas which
also will save the use of LPG which is becoming costly now.

4.8. CHANGE OF WEATHER PATTERN
Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of
weatherpatterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change
in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average
conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors
that include oceanic processes (such as oceanic circulation), bioticprocesses, variations in
solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions, and human-induced
alterations of the natural world; these latter effects are currently causing global warming,
and "climate change" is often used to describe human-specific impacts.
In this survey 69% of the people have the feel that the climate of our locality has
changed. They also feel that this is due to the change in the environment which is manmade.
4.9. LIFE STYLE PATTERN AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Only 25% of the people have the opinion that life style pattern can change with the
change in the climate. The life style pattern actually determines the type and way of life each
person prefers. The modern days the life style has a good influence on the environment. The
life style pattern has been a great influence on our health too. The increase in the use of
vehicles reduces walking and hence increases health problems. They also lead to air
pollution. The increase in the use of fast food and other instant food items reduces our health
and make as sick. The life style pattern like the use of more vehicles can create green house
effect and which creates global warming. The cutting down of trees and forest is also a
major factor in the cause of climatic change.

CHAPTER 5
RECOMMENDATIONS
The survey conducted in the POONJAR THEKKEKKARA PANCHAYATH on
the environmental and other problems faced by the people helps in knowing more about our
locality. The interaction with the people helps in the knowing more about the life of the
people. On the basic of the survey and interaction with people I suggest some
recommendations and the ways of improvement of the life style pattern of the people. The
water scarcity is a problem during the summer months from March and April but as the
survey was on June& July as it was heavy rain most people said there was no water scarcity.
The best way of facing water scarcity is by the proper ways of rain water harvesting. It isbest if some steps were taken by panchayath so that rain water harvesting is done properly.
The use of bags made of paper and other degradable materials are to be promoted instead of
plastic bags. It is better if the shops prefer the use of paper bags to packs items for its
customers. The kitchen waste disposal is almost done efficiently in the panchayath as by
giving the pipe compost to all the houses and making awareness in the use of the compost.
The use of the biogas plant made from the plastic barrels made with a small investment is a
major source of reducing the use of LPG conception in the house and a source of good
organic fertiliser for the plats in the house hold. The mosquitoes are a major cause of the
disease in our locality. Even though the waste disposal is done it is also necessary to keep
the places free from water getting water stagnant in the different places of the panchayath. It
is also necessary to take steps to kill and to avoid the growth of the Larva of the mosquitoes.
Proper mosquito killing chemicals are to be used in the rubber plantations of the locality as
they are the major producers of the mosquitoes Chlorination of water tanks and chemical
treatment of water is also very important for mosquito killing.
