Sociological survey 1.1 Social-demographic description of the population in the project area The project includes Vedi and Ararat towns and Ararat, Aygezard, Verin Artashat, Mrganush, Shahumyan, Azatavan, Baghramyan, Byuravan, Burastan, Dalar, Dimitrov, Nshavan, Vosketap, Hovtashen, Mrgavan, Masis and Berkanush villages of Ararat Region. The number of permanent population in Ararat Region dated in 2012, January 1st is 88019 people, from which 42878 are women. The number of the households in the project area of Ararat region is (hereafter household) 20467. In this area a tendency of natural increase in population number is observed, as in accordance with data received in 2012, the birth number exceeded the number of death cases by 376. The number of birth was 993, and that of deaths was 617. The presented information on statistic data was received from the authorities of the communities. 1.2 Selection and method of the inquiry Random selection has been used for the survey, in this way providing equal possibility for each household to be selected. Based on this principle, from the existing 20467 households in 19 communities the selected and surveyed households have been 296. The survey of information in the area of households has been made by a specially prepared checklist. The checklist is attached in Appendix 1. 1.3 Gender-age combination of the respondents and description of households In these households 51.4% of the respondents were 41-60, 25.0% were 26-40, 19.6% were 61 and older, and 4.1% were 18-25 years old. 40.5% of them were men, 59.5% were women. The number of women exceeds the number of responding men, which can be reasoned by men being occupied at that moment, their absence, dominance of women in that region, etc. It must also be mentioned, that women associate with drinking water issues more for domestic and sanitary–hygienic needs. Gender-age combination is given in the following table 1.
