ABSTRACT This report is one of a series of publications resulting from a survey and research project to investigate the influence of certain economic and institutional factors on couples' fertility behavior in Peninsular Malaysia. It includes maps and verbal descriptions of the 52 primary sampling units in the sample. The descriptions are based on interview with knowledgeable local officials and residents and on personal observations, all made in 1976 and 1977. An important part of the survey has been documentation of community and public program characteristics that might affact people's economic and demographic behavior. Working with a list of specific ques tions and more general areas of interest, the author attempts to describe each Primary Sampling Unit(PSU) in detail. Both current characteristics and recent historical data are of interest. Background information about Peninsular Malaysia and the definition of a PSU are presented. PSU descriptions are organized in three sections: main market centers, other urban towns, and rural. Forty-nine of these PSUs were selected using probability sampling methods and constitute a random sample of the 6125 PSUs in Peninsular Malaysia. 10. CONTROL NUMBER !I.
