  • Chapter 7 Willingness to Pay Survey Result
    FINAL REPORT CHAPTER 7 WILLINGNESS TO PAY SURVEY RESULT 7.1 General General background of willingness to pay and affordability to pay for the potable water in rural communities is described as follows. (1) Most of communities do not collect any water fee or collect very small amounts of water fee because of natural gravity flow system, (2) Average household incomes in rural communities are lower than urban communities, (3) Some residents are not satisfied with present water supply services. In order to obtain detailed information on the water fees that should be paid by the local residents, the Study shall conducted the survey for willingness to pay and affordability to pay for the potable water. Therefore, the willingness to pay survey of 1,000 informants was carried out. 7.2 Methodology A sample survey was applied taking into consideration the survey period. The willingness to pay survey was conducted with 1,000 informants, which were equivalent to 1.9% of the total household numbers, in 24 rural communities by a local consultant during the period from June to August 2007. The survey team conducted the interview survey for each household using the survey form. It was prepared to be answered by figures, the surveyor carried out each survey smoothly and the interviewees could reply without being distressed deeply. As a result, every surveyor could collect the same level of responses from each interviewee. Largely populated rural communities are advantageous in terms of the field period. The Study selected the 24 large scaled rural communities as the target rural communities.
