APPENDIX I: FIELD METHODS, THE NSAMBYA SURVEY
The bulk of the information discussed in this monograph was obtained by the traditional methods of anthropology, i.e. intensive fieldwork. I had hoped at the time to collect more systematic data using a variety of survey methods and tests (see, for example, the comments in Chapter 4). Although these proved to be beyond my resources I was able to conduct a general survey at the Nsambya Estate. Most of the material discussed in Chapter 3 was drawn from this. The survey at Nsambya formed part of a wider study entitled the ‘Kampala Survey, 1965’. This was undertaken in April–June of that year in conjunction with the Department of Sociology at Makerere and the Government Town and Country Planning Department. Three areas of Kampala were taken, Nsambya, Kiswa and Kibuli, and in each a questionnaire was administered to a random sample of household heads. The questions were devised in seminars at Makerere under my direction and tested on college employees living on campus. The questionnaire varied slightly in each area in the light of what was known of local conditions. The full results of the survey have not yet been published, though some information is used in this volume.
For the survey at Nsambya, which was confined to African employees of EARH, the following sampling frame was devised. The EARH house classes (see Chapter 2) were used as strata, classes 3 and 4 being amalgamated to form a single stratum.
