Overview
A nationwide survey on "Particulars of Slums" was carried-out by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) during the period January-June, 1993 in its 49th round to ascertain the extent of civic facilities available i n the slums. The 49th round survey among other objectives also collected data on the condition of slum dwellings as well as on some general particulars of slum areas. Apart from formulating the sampling design with an emphasis to obtain an adequate number of slum households for the survey on housing condition and migration, surveyed the slum areas and collected information on slums. The schedule 0.21 was canvassed in both the rural and urban areas. All the slums, both the declared ones as well as the others (undeclared), found in the selected first stage units were surveyed even if hamlet-group/sub-block selection was resorted to in some of then. To ascertain the extent of civic facilities available in the slums as well as the information regarding the improvement of slum condition during a period of last five years was also collected. Information was collected by contacting one or more knowledgeable persons in the FSU on the basis of predominant criterion in both declared and undeclared slums, and not through household approach. Sample survey data [ssd]Randomly selected urban slums based on sampling procedure.
Scope
A nationwide survey on 'Particulars of slums' was conducted by National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) in its 49th round covering a period of six months from January to June, 1993. Some general particulars like ownership, area type, type of structure, living facilities of the slums and their proximity to the nearest motorable road, primary school and hospital/health centre; change in the condition of slums during last five years etc. were col lected. Information was collected by contacting one or more knowledgeable persons in the FSU on the basis of predominant criterion in both declared and undeclared slums, and not through household approach. However ,the information so obtained, was physically verified by the field officials to the extent possible. A compact area with a collection of poorly built tenements, mostly of temporary nature, crowded together usually with inadequate sanitary and drinking water facilities in unhygienic condi tions was considered as 'slum' in the 49th round. For the purpose of the survey, such an area was considered
as 'undeclared slum', if at least 20 households live in that area. Certain areas declared as 'slums by respective municipalities, orporations, local bodies or development authorities have been treated as 'declared slums'. It is worth mentioning that the results reflect only the availability and not the adequacy of the facilities available in the slums.
The schedule on 'particulars of slum' (schedule 0.21) framed for the 49th round consisted of 5 blocks. The different blocks of the schedule are as follows :
The identification particulars of the sample village/block having the slums for which the schedule was canvassed were recorded in blocks 0 & 1. Block 2 was meant for recording the particulars of the field operations. Any relevant remarks by the investigator were recorded in block 3 and the comments by the supervisory officer(s) in block 4. The particulars about slum was recorded in block 5. The information as to whether the slum is a declared one or not , ownership, area type and location, type of structure, approach, road to the slum, type of road within the slum, living facilities, distance from the nearest motorable road, primary school, hospital and any improvement/ change in the condition of the slum during the last 5 years etc. were collected and recorded in this block.
