    FOREWORD We are pleased to present to the communities studied, to La GuajiraDepartment and to the National Community, as well as to both the nationaland the international stakeholders, an initial study of the health and Standardof living baseline of the area of direct influence of Cerrejn coal mine in LaGuajira Department (Colombia) in 2009.

    Thisarea of direct influence includes the main towns of Albania, Barrancas,Hato Nuevo, Uribia, two kilometres on either side of the railway used totransport coal to Puerto Bolvar, the hamlets (rancheras) adjacent to the portitself, the rural areas and the communities bordering on the different pits ofthe mine. This territory generates royalties (FCFI, 2009) and the paymentof other taxes levied on the mining activities directly involved in mining thethermal coal produced and exported by Cerrejn to the municipalities. Witha view to future expansion projects, it also includes the bank of the RiverRanchera from the mine to its estuary in Riohacha.

    The purpose of this joint effort, carried out under agreements between DANE(Colombian National Department of Statistics) and Cerrejn, on the onehand, was to gather data through the Standard of Living Survey (SLMS)1,and between CENDEX, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and Cerrejn forthe Health Conditions Survey (HCS)2, on the other, is to provide researchersand analysts with databases containing valid, reliable information allowingrigorous, in depth studies of health and welfare indicators in order to design,follow up and evaluate public policies for Cerrejn area of direct influencein order to ensure sustainable development in the short, medium and

    long terms. As mentioned below, this forms an integral part of CerrejonsCorporate Social Responsibility endeavours.

    In August 2007, Cerrejn and its shareholders Anglo American plc, BHPBilliton and Xstrata Coal, commissioned an independent panel headed byJohn Harker, President of Cape Breton University in Canada, to review themanagement of its corporate social responsibility programmes and practicesand the companys relations with the neighbouring communities3of the mine.

    The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD, 2000)

    defines Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as companies commitmentto the Standard of living of their employees and their families, the localcommunity and society in general, to supporting sustainable economicdevelopment and to contributing to achieving this goal.

    As the panel has rightly said: In the area of Social Responsibility, Cerrejnalways endeavours to achieve the very best results, rather than limiting itselfto the legal limits or minimum standards set for the industry. Cerrejn not

    only complies with the strictest international standards, but also strives toinclude the best practices existing worldwide and to keep at the forefront inunderstanding and implementing Social Responsibility policies that cover itsentire complex multi-dimensionality.

    On the one hand, it works to contribute to sustainable economic development,to improve the Standard of living in the area of influence and to achieve areduction in the poverty of the region, while at the same time contributing

    proactively to strengthening social inclusion, human cohesion and socialcapital, particularly in all aspects concerning the issues of gender equalityand the participation of aboriginal ethnic groups. On the other hand, itdefends Human Rights and environmental protection through responsiblemanagement of the risk of pollution and the possible degradation of thehabitat of the regions flora and fauna.

    33 FOREWORD

    Good intentions, however, are not enough in themselves. Results have to beobtained and measured and the mechanisms to achieve these goals have to be

    explained. Measurements must be independent, objective, valid and reliable,conducted in accordance with the strictest international methodologicalstandards, in order to allow both longitudinal (before and after) and cross-sectional comparison with other regions and areas of Colombia, and alsowith other countries and other mines and/or major projects that impact theirenvironment and its inhabitants.

    At this point in time, it is beyond the capacity of any private company

    to replace the state. Therefore, a key part of social responsibility lies incontributing to citizen participation in the achievement of civil society goals.This requires results from the state and the political class responsible foradministering government institutions and establishing social and economicpolicies in the region. It helps to strengthen democracy, good governanceand accountability, a fundamental component of transparency in themanagement of the state apparatus at municipal, departmental and nationallevels. This cannot be achieved without fixing objective indicators by which

    to measure results.

    Both surveys follow the relevant methodologies and are accessible to thescientific community and stakeholders in accordance with DANEs rules onStandard of living data and those of CENDEX on health related data. Wehave included an introduction to the methodology followed, a descriptionof the findings and, by way of an example, an initial analysis of what willbe required of further studies in order to formulate policies to improve the

    health and wellbeing of the communities of La Guajira.

    INTRODUCTION This publication presents the results of the Standard of living Survey(SLMS) and the Health Conditions Survey (HCS) in the area of influenceof Cerrejn, an open-pit thermal coal mining project, which includes, as weshall explain in further detail below, the urban areas of the towns of Albania,Barrancas, Hato Nuevo and Uribia, as well as the rural areas of those samemunicipalities, and the railway corridor that connects the mine itself withPuerto Bolvar from which the coal is exported by sea. It also includes therural area of the banks of the Ranchera River from Albania to its estuary inRiohacha.

    This publication starts out, in Chapter I, with an explanation of theterritorial demarcation of Cerrejns area of influence. Chapter II specifies themethods and procedures associated with the study: statistical design, surveysconducted, study population and sample size, bias control and calculation ofobserved accuracy. Subsequent chapters contain an explanation of the resultsof the surveys, as indicated below.

    Chapter III, Section 1 discusses the Standard of living conditions ofhouseholds and Section 2 those of people per se. These sections contributesome topics of interest obtained from the HCS to the results of the SLMS

    with. Chapter IV refers to the health conditions of the population in the areaof influence based on social security conditions, followed by perceptions ofhealth, the use of services and ending with food conditions and the perceivedmorbidity of the population.

    The available provision and quality of services are explored in Chapter V,which explains the situation of the Health Care Providers (IPS) and patientsperception of the health services they receive. The former gives a description

    of the health services network in the Department, the provision of servicesand the results of the surveys applied to four IPS in La Guajira, while the

    latter focuses on the results obtained from the survey of patients on comingout of a doctors surgery, a hospital or an accident and emergency service.

    Chapter VI contains a very pertinent application of the HumanOpportunities Index, which explores the type of opportunities children havein the territory based on a multi-dimensional approach. It also follows themethodology proposed by the World Bank for focusing on equality and thesearch for opportunities for the childrens future, based on their conditionalprobabilities of achieving certain goals given the nature of the environmentin which they are born.

    The results of the two surveys are descriptive in nature and are intended toestablish ratios, rates and proportions comparable with similar previouslycollected measurements. On the one hand, the Standard of living indicatorsof Cerrejn area of influence are comparable with those of the total nationalSLMS of 2008 and with the results for the Atlantic Region produced byDANE in 2010.

    The health results are also comparable with the 2007 National Health Survey

    (Rodrguez, et. al., 2009) with regard to the following three inputs: 1) anepidemiological profile of the population, showing the characteristics of theperceived prevalence and risks of disease, which will make it possible to defineintervention and design priorities for specific programs; 2) an analysis of thetechnical capacity of the IPS, based on which priorities for investment inhuman resources, equipment and consolidation can be established in orderto structure more competitive and efficient service projection units, and 3)a user perception profile of the quality of services, aimed at enabling healthcare institutions to develop quality policies designed to improve services.

    The results presented in this publication, as well as the databases, constitutean invaluable ingredient for the creation of inferential studies, to facilitateanalysis of causality or to establish statistically significant interactions. All ofthis warrants the effort that will lead to specific developments and, moreover,by integrating the socio-economic characteristics of the population collectedin the SLMS, it will facilitate a complete description of the population. It is

    therefore a positive baseline for evaluating interventions and programs.

    37 INTRODUCTION

    For Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, through Cendex, the implementationof the Health Conditions Survey represents a challenge and an invaluable

    technical process, as well as an opportunity for the private sector to supporthealth care system development. This is particularly so due to the scope ofthe study, which includes the micro-conditions of a population with highnecessity and vulnerability levels, as in the case of residents in Cerrejn areaof influence.

    DEFINITION OF THE AREA OF INFLUENCEThe area of influence is not a random geographical demarcation definedby Cerrejn as it pleases, but rather relates directly to the impact causedby its mining operation and associated activities, specified mainly in theenvironmental licence granted by the Colombian Government at thebeginning of the mining project in the late 1970s.

    In addition, to define the zone or area of influence with a view to carrying outthe Standard of living survey, the guidelines of the SEAT4tool were followed

    in order for the coverage to facilitate a more complete analysis of the socio-economic reality in which Cerrejn operates in La Guajira Department.

    The tool SEAT states that an area of influence is a zone in which both directand indirect impacts can be expected to be caused by the operation. Typically,an area of influence is unique to each operation. It is larger than the actualsize of the operation, covers its environmental impacts and problems andalso addresses the health and socio-economic issues within its boundaries.

    Taking into account SEAT guidelines Cerrejon area of influence includesthe following:

    The area receiving the primary physical impact caused by the miningoperation. This covers the main location of the project and itsassociated infrastructure (including contractors infrastructure), suchas power transmission corridors, pipes, access ways, etc.

    The area receiving the secondary physical impact caused by mining

    development. This would include impacts caused by chain reactionsand the cumulative effects of the mining operation, as well as anyfuture expansion project.

    Associated facilities not financed as part of the mining project, butwhose viability and existence depend exclusively on the mining

    4 SEAT (Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox) is a set of methods to assess both the positive andthe negative social and economic impacts caused by the mining operations of Anglo AmericanPLC. It was designed to help Anglo Americans operations engage more effectively with local

    stakeholders and to identify and optimize the management of its social responsibility programs.See: Anglo Americans SEAT Toolbox. http://www.angloamerican.com/aal/development/social/community-engagement/seat/

    operation and whose goods and services are essential for the mineto operate (for example, means of transportation such as roadways

    and trains). Primary areas which can provide the operation with manual labour

    and in which consumption is created as a direct result of the presenceof the mine. These areas cover the neighbouring populations andcommunities directly affected by the mining activities, but alsopotentially more distant areas which could provide workers or beinfluenced by the creation of consumption.

    Surrounding areas which could eventually be impacted by theoperation, both positively and negatively, such as locations with highbiodiversity levels, protected areas, etc

    Taking these elements into account, the area to be considered as that of thestudy population was limited to the main towns of Albania, Hatonuevo,Barrancas and Uribia and their respective rural areas (the Aboriginalreservations of the Wayu of Provincial, Trupio Gacho, San Francisco, and

    Cuatro de Noviembre). The Wayu communities adjacent to Puerto Bolvarare also included.

    In the urban area, the hamlets attached to the municipalities within the areaof influence were also taken into account, as shown in Table 1.

    The adjacent corridor (2 km on either side of the railway) is also a part ofthe area of influence throughout the 150 kilometre railway that connects themine with Puerto Bolvar, which carries coal for shipment to clients by sea,

    as well as the banks of the Ranchera River from the mine to its estuary inRiohacha. The great majority of this rural population belongs to the Wayuethnic group.

    The following map shows the location of Cerrejn area of influence definedfor the study.

    Methods and procedures

    METHODS AND PROCEDURESThis chapter describes the methodology used in the design and applicationof the two surveys, as well as the sample size to ensure that they were bothrepresentative and valid. The content of each of the surveys: Standard ofliving Survey and Health Conditions Survey, the basis on which the estimatesin the following chapters were made and, finally, the procedure to determinethe accuracy or margin of error of the estimates.

    Statistical DesignTo calculate the representative sample for the Standard of living Survey(2009) in Cerrejn Area of Influence, DANE used a stratified, multi-stage,probabilistic cluster procedure. The Health Conditions Survey was basedon the same sample and therefore followed the same selection process.

    With this design, each sampling unit had a known selection opportunity

    greater than zero. This methodology makes it possible to determine thedesired accuracy of the estimates in advance and then to calculate that ofthe results obtained. Two pre-defined domain strata were defined: urban,consisting of the towns and hamlets within the municipalities of the area ofinfluence, and rural, consisting of the sparsely populated areas of the zonedefined as the area of influence. The main advantage of this stratification isan increase in the accuracy of the results.

    In the urban stratum, the primary sampling units are the blocks or groupsof blocks that contain at least one size measurement (SM); the secondaryunits are segments or SM. In the rural areas, the primary sampling unitsare communities; the segments or SM are the secondary sampling units. Tobegin, primary units are first randomly selected, and then secondary unitsamong them, also at random, so that the desired sample size was ensured.This procedure is known as multi-stage sampling.

    Clusters are the different groups of units formed, which facilitate theprocess of identifying and selecting the sampling units. For this study,

    48STANDARD OF LIVING AND HEALTH:

    An Assessment of Cerrejn Area of Influence

    the municipality is taken in the first instance and the urban area withinit, then the blocks and within them, the segments; in the rural area, the

    communities and, within them, the segments, are all taken into account(DANE, 2009).

    The Surveys

    The Standard of living Surveys were designed to obtain a set of indicators todescribe the target population based on the different dimensions involved in

    the wellbeing of households and of the people that are their members.

    Measuring poverty, whether from an objective, subjective, structural orcircumstantial perspective, forms an integral part of the goals of this type ofstudy. It allows a more in-depth analysis of wellbeing factors such as health,education, jobs, ownership of goods in the household and access to publicservices. Ultimately, what is required is access to information that showsus and explains the factors that can help to improve wellbeing or to reduce

    poverty and, therefore, enable us to carry out an objective, rigorous followup of the variables necessary for the design, implementation and monitoringof public policies, especially those related to achieving the MillenniumDevelopment Goals(FCFI 2010) in a relatively underdeveloped region suchas this one.

    The indicators obtained during this study represent a baseline (DANE,2004), because, by comparing them with the results of subsequent studies

    that measure the same variables, it is possible to systematically followup and evaluate the policies, programs and projects carried out to assessprogress and achievements. With time, these can be used to improve thedesign and decision-making process for sustainable development andbetter Standard of living.

    In the past 20 years, there has been a great deal of methodological progressin both the design and the implementation of population surveys,

    especially since the beginning of the decade of the nineties. On theone hand, improvements have been incorporated on the basis of World

  • 8/14/2019 Cerrejon Standard of Living Ingles

    49/379

    49CHAPTER II

    Methods and procedures

    Bank experience in the Measurement of Living Conditions (Grosh M. &Glewwe, P., 1995) aimed at ensuring good data quality and, on the other

    hand, the Inter-American Development Banks Technical CooperationProgramme for the Improvement of Surveys and the Measurement ofLiving Conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean (MECOVI).

    The SLMS applied in this research is the same as that of the nationalstudy carried out by DANE5 in 2008, but with the above mentionedmethodological improvements. It was a pioneer study, as it was the firstSLMS of small municipalities with a significant scattered rural population

    belonging almost entirely the Wayu Aboriginal ethnic group, whoselanguage is Wayunaiki.

    DANE had previously conducted six Standard of living surveys (SLMS)6and subsequently, in 2010, conducted an additional survey of the entirecountry by regions. It was a multi-purpose survey with direct informantsand using personal digital assistants, with an average duration of 2.4 hoursper interview in the household. A process to raise awareness before field

    collection began was carried out and the number of households used forthe sample was updated prior to the survey.

    Questions that had not been representative during the 2008 national surveywere not included in the SLMS in Cerrejn area of influence. These wererelated to the following:

    Dwellings affected by floods, landslides and subsidence

    Dwellings near airports, refuse dumps, industries, water channel andtransportation routes

    5 Cerrejn made the decision to financially and logistically support DANE, Colombias NationalStatistics Department, in carrying out this study so that the data collected would be of the bestpossible quality and available to any national or foreign researcher in accordance with internationalstandards, as well as to government entities. This arrangement also helped protect the privacy ofthose surveyed.

    epidemiological sense, so that they can be compared with census data andnational and international household surveys. A household consists of an

    individual or a group of people living under the same roof and sharing atleast one meal (eating from the same pot), without this necessarily implyingfamily ties. When a single housing unit is inhabited by various groups ofpeople who cook separately, each group is considered a different household.

    The section on household services records the payment and quality thereof.The use of sanitation services is also determined. Questions regarding thetenure of housing units were to learn the occupation of housing, the number

    of units possessed, the number of months during which they are occupiedand the reasons for moving from one to another, if any. This section thusenables us to identify critical overcrowding.

    The chapter on the characteristics and composition of households has twoobjectives. The first is to identify the people who make up the household, theirrelationship with the head of the household, as well as whether they belongto an aboriginal community - in this case, the Wayu - and their marital

    status. The head of the household is a regular resident who is recognizedas such by other members of the group. The second objective is to trackmigration of household members. All household members, who identifiedthemselves as belonging to the Wayu aboriginal group, were asked if theyspoke Wayunaiki as well as the caste or clan to which they belonged inorder to determine the size of the different clans in the area.

    The brief chapter on health examines social security coverage, peoples

    perception of their own health and some of the household healthcareexpenses (diseases and health management).

    The purpose of the questions about caring for children under the age offive is to identify the person or institution responsible for their upbringingand care and to estimate the coverage of public and private establishmentsdedicated to protecting and educating children.

    The questions also seek to estimate the household total expenses spent onschool fees during the year, monthly food and other expenditures on looking

    after, caring for and bringing up minors until they begin their basic primaryeducation.

    The chapter on education gathers information on the main educational traitsof the population of five years and over, such as illiteracy, school attendance(current grade) and level of education (last grade passed). It also covers theamount of money spent by households on education and identifies where orwith whom pre-school and primary pupils spend their time when they arenot at school.

    The chapter on the workforce has three objectives: to determine whichmembers of the household have jobs, which of them earn an income andwhich would be able to do so, either as a result of being in the job marketor from other types of activities; to examine employees working conditions,such as access to social security, hours worked and income and to classifythose who are out of work or inactive, establishing whether they receivean income from other sources, such as assistance from relatives, friends,institutions, or others.

    Household living conditions are approached from a subjective perceptionof poverty, the occurrence of events which cause tension or concern and thehouseholds income capacity to cover its minimum expenses. The survey alsoverifies the goods owned by the household, not only as patrimony, but alsothose that satisfy its needs. Having such goods is an indicator of the comfortsa family or household enjoys, which may be considered a need for theirwellbeing in the modern urban context. The information in this chapter

    enables us to analyse violence and the victims of aggressive acts, perceptionof security and also how parents correct their children under the age of 18.

    In addition to the Standard of living Survey, the Health Conditions Surveywas applied in order to investigate the peoples demographic and socio-economic conditions and the health conditions of the population withinthe area of influence. This survey used the same sample of households asthose of the SLMS and, therefore, it is equally representative. Surveyors were

    equipped with computers in order to capture information electronically.

    53CHAPTER II

    Methods and procedures

    Before field work began, a process of raising awareness of the populationwas undertaken and the team responsible for the application, supervision,

    verification and revision of the surveys were selected and trained in order toreduce any possible bias associated with the process and to ensure the validityand reliability of the information gathered.

    The original design of the NHS (2007) was used to gather information. Thestructure of the survey provided parameters for comparing the situation ofthe population studied, not only with national, but also with regional anddepartmental totals. Two sub-modules were added to the original design of

    the survey, both related to regionally important issues: 1) the Food HabitsModule, in which variables in consumption patterns were integrated with thepopulations food safety conditions and, 2) the Respiratory Disease Module,which studied the frequency of respiratory symptoms among different agegroups.

    The following three of the four original NHS modules were applied: 1)Households Survey Module, which collected information on the population

    between the ages of 0 and 69; 2) User Survey Module, applied in the fourhospitals located within the defined area of influence, and 3) the HealthProvider Institutions (IPS) Module, which analyzed the installed capacity ofhealth services in four IPS of La Guajira Department.

    The households survey consisted of four Modules. It began with theapplication of Module 1 regarding the data of the housing unit and thehousehold, whose informant was either the head of household or another

    adult member. As part of this Module, a list of all members of the householdwas drawn up, from which the population for the application of the Moduleswas selected.

    Module two was applied to young people between the ages of 6 and 17 andto a sub-sample of people from 18 to 69 years of age. Firstly, respondentswere asked about certain population characteristics, such as education, theworkforce and the empowerment of women. Questions were then asked

    about health conditions in relation to: perceived morbidity, demand and useof services, chronic conditions, dental care, risk factors for chronic diseases,

  • 8/14/2019 Cerrejon Standard of Living Ingles

    54/379

    54STANDARD OF LIVING AND HEALTH:

    An Assessment of Cerrejn Area of Influence

    such as cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and lack of physical activityand knowledge and treatment of certain diseases with a major impact on

    public health (high blood pressure, diabetes and back pain are some of these).Questions were also included about food conditions and the respiratoryproblems faced by people over 6 years of age.

    Module 3 of the household survey was targeted to all children under theage of 6 for whom their mother, father or a guardian were responsible. Thismodule gathered information on childrens health conditions with relationto perceived morbidity, specific conditions, vaccinations and dental care.

    Module 4 was only applied to a sub-group of people between the ages of 18and 69, in which respondents were asked about sensitive topics involvingaggression, psychoactive substance use and sexually transmitted diseases.

    Surveys were also applied to each of the four IPS to investigate the dataof the institution, consultations on specific protection and early detection,characteristics of paediatric and adult hospitalization and emergency servicesand surgical and support services. A description of out-patient services was

    also defined, as was the functioning of the provision of out-patient andobstetrics consultation services was also verified.

    User surveys were applied immediately following the respective service ofhospitalization or out-patient consultation, the latter referring to thosereceived by users of an IPS, including: general or specialized medicalconsultations, dental appointments, pre-natal or growth and developmentcheck-ups, family planning appointments, consultation for diagnostic

    or therapeutic examinations or procedures, vaccinations and ambulatorysurgery, among others. This survey included questions about patientsperception of access to, and the quality of the service they received.

    Study Population and Sample SizeThe study population comprised the civilian, non-institutional populationliving in Cerrejn area of influence, as defined in Chapter I. The sample

    selection framework was based on a previous count of dwellings and householdswith their respective geo-referential information in order to not only identify

  • 8/14/2019 Cerrejon Standard of Living Ingles

    55/379

    55CHAPTER II

    Methods and procedures

    the sample and observation units, but also provide basic information for therespective estimates and for coverage control.

    Likewise, health care institutions (IPS) were included in the study population,from which four institutions were selected: San Rafael Hospital, NuestraSeora del Pilar Hospital, Nuestra Seora del Carmen Hospital and NuestraSeora del Perpetuo Socorro Hospital in the municipalities of Albania,Barranca, Hatonuevo and Uribia, respectively. A sample of users was selectedfrom each hospital at the levels of out-patient consultation, hospitalizationand the emergency service in order to ascertain their perception of access to

    and the quality of the services.

    Observation units thus consisted of housing units, households and thepeople within them for both the SLMS and the HCS household Modules.Likewise, in the HCS, the IPS and their technical personnel are included inthe observation units, as well as the users of hospitalization, emergency andout-patient consultation services.

    The sample required for application of the Standard of living Survey was2,496 households, with sampling accuracy or error at 5% for both the urbanand the rural areas, for rates or ratios greater than 10% with a reliability levelof 95%. Frequencies of less than 10% increase the possibility of error andreduce reliability. By expanding these data, based on the 2005 census, thepopulation covered by the survey included 65,659 people: 36,315 rural and29,344 urban, located in 14,146 housing units, of which 7,463 were in ruralareas, and 14,284 households, of which 7,492 were in rural areas. These data

    were collected between 1 and 30 September 2009 in urban areas and between3 November and 2 December 2009 in rural areas.

    For the Health Conditions Survey - HCS - field work was carried out in Apriland May 2010. Population sub-groups were needed because of the scope ofthe study and according to the Module to be applied as explained below.The sample comprised 2,739 households surveyed in Module 1, with a totalof 11,484 persons. Once all the members of the household were identified

    in Module 1, Module 2 was applied to all people between the ages of 6 and17 (3,251 persons) and a population sub-group between 18 and 69 (6,254

  • 8/14/2019 Cerrejon Standard of Living Ingles

    56/379

    56STANDARD OF LIVING AND HEALTH:

    An Assessment of Cerrejn Area of Influence

    people). Module 3 collected information on all children under the age of 6from informants who were either their mother, father or a guardian (1,692

    children). Finally, due to the sensitive nature of the questions, Module 4 wasapplied to a sub-group of 3,003 people between 18 and 69 years old.

    The initial conditions for expanding the household sample for the HCSrequired the use of the sample framework established for the SLMS; however,this proved impossible and an adjustment of the SLMS expansion factors wasnecessary in order to avoid biased indicator estimates. The adjustment tookinto consideration refusals to reply due to rejections or displacements and the

    replacements that were necessary to cover the pre-established sample. As sub-groups of different age groups were needed depending on the survey Moduleto be administered, another adjustment factor was required in addition to thefinal expansion factor.

    At institutional level, four IPS were consulted, as were a total of 322 oftheir service users: 216 out-patient consultations and 106 hospitalizationsor emergencies. The results obtained from these samples were not expanded

    to the national total as it was impossible to obtain all the records of servicesprovided from the four hospitals, nor was any complete report found amongnational statistics.

    Bias Control

    Possible sources of bias were identified: unequal selection probabilities for thefinal observation units (households, persons, IPS and users), the difficulty

    of complete coverage of the selected samples, possible imperfections in thesampling framework used to select the samples, possible design errors inthe measurement instruments and occasional deficiencies in selecting andtraining the surveyors in data collection and processing.

    Potential problems in instrument design were controlled through testing andvalidation processes. Possible deficiencies in training and data collection andprocessing were reduced to a minimum thanks to a controlled, structured

    collection process, strict personnel selection guidelines, theoretical and

  • 8/14/2019 Cerrejon Standard of Living Ingles

    57/379

    57CHAPTER II

    Methods and procedures

    practical training, detailed manuals of functions, procedures, and exhaustivesupervision and quality control plans.

    Any bias originating in the different selection probabilities and failureto cover certain selected sampling units was controlled by applying anadjustment factor to the expansion factors calculated for the SLMS inCerrejn area of influence, thereby guaranteeing unbiased estimates of theresearch populations absolute values. Although the IPS and user resultsare presented without expansion, strict sample selection and control of theabove mentioned processes reduced possible biases.

    Calculating Accuracy

    All estimates of the characteristics of the study population based on probabilitysamples are approximate, which is why it is important to establish their degreeof accuracy or margin of error. The appropriate indicator is the standard orsampling error, calculated as the proportion between the standard error andthe indicator, which measures the variability of sample randomisation. Themathematical formula for calculating standard error is a function of the typeof sample, selection stages and the respective probabilities.

    For the design described above, formulae appropriate to a stratified sampling,of unequal clusters, were adapted for two levels of clustering (see, for example,Kish, 1965). The STATA statistical package is basically programmedaccording to the Taylor series method, which was used to calculate standarderrors in this study.

    Due to the complexity of the sample designed, calculations of the specificestimates are affected by sampling and non-sampling errors which must becontrolled. Non-sampling errors, which generally arise during the processof collecting and processing data, were minimized by careful survey design,surveyor training and exhaustive supervision during collection in the field,as well as information coding, purging and processing. Sampling errorswere estimated with an algorithm that produces very reasonably accurateapproximations.

  • 8/14/2019 Cerrejon Standard of Living Ingles

    58/379

    58STANDARD OF LIVING AND HEALTH:

    An Assessment of Cerrejn Area of Influence

    Because the 2009 Standard of living Survey was a complex, multi-stagesampling, special formulae had to be used to take the effects of stratification

    and clustering into account. Thus, the sampling errors associated with SLMSestimates were calculated by DANE (National Statistics Department). Thesampling errors for the estimates obtained from the Health ConditionsSurvey were calculated using the survey data procedure (svy command) inSTATA version 10. This procedure applies to complex designs and takes theexpansion factor of each selected sample or sub-group into consideration.

    In general, the selection of a cut-off point in the relative standard error or

    coefficient of variation, on the basis of which the decision was taken todeclare the estimate of the population value given because of the considerablemagnitude of the associated sampling error, is arbitrary and essentiallydepends on the type of measurement effected and its desired use. Forexample, if one wanted to evaluate the quality of a serial production of high-precision instruments through a sampling study, the acceptable differencesbetween the estimate and the population value must obviously be quitesmall. In other cases, such as samples of households or other observation

    units studied through personal interviews on various topics of interest, alevel of accuracy no higher than 15% or 20% of the relative standard error isgenerally accepted (EUSTAT 2005, DANE 2006, INEC 2004).

    Housing tenure

    With respect to housing tenure (Graph 2), 86.6% of the rural populationhave their own completely paid house. This percentage is explained by thefact of collective ownership on aboriginal reservations, which, in accordancewith Articles 63 and 329 of the Political Constitution ...are inalienable, arenot subject to any statute of limitations nor to seizure. Reservations are aspecial legal, socio-political institution made up of one or more aboriginalcommunities with a collective title and the guarantees of private ownership,they possess their territory and are governed for their management and their

    internal life by an autonomous organization protected by the aboriginaljurisdiction and under their own system of laws (Osorio and Salazar, 2006).Among households in the urban area, 53.1% live in their own completelypaid houses and 36.7% are rented or sub-leased (see Table 1, Appendix 1).

This percentage contrastswith 37.7% at national level, where the predominant flooring materials are(49.0%) tiles, vinyl, panels, bricks or hardwood. In urban houses, 76.4%have cement or gravel floors, while in rural areas this percentage is only32.3%. There are more earth or sand floors (64.9%) in the rural setting.

    These results outline a predominant type of basic dwelling that uses fewindustrially processed materials and finishings

    Rooms in the household

    The average number of rooms in the household, excluding the kitchen,bathrooms, garages and those intended for business, is 2.3, which is lowerthan the 3.3 national average. 85.6% of households have between 1 and 3rooms; this percentage is 94.6% in rural areas and 77.0% in urban areas.However, over half the households have one bedroom, which indicatespossible overcrowding, given the average number of persons per householdand the number of available spaces in the dwelling (Graph 3).

    existence of water supply in urban areas, it does not ensure drinking waterquality or uninterrupted supply. Of the households with water supply from a

    public, community or hamlet system, 40.9% do not have continuous serviceduring the week. This is more serious in urban areas (47.4%) than in ruralareas (31.5%). At urban level, waste water treatment is not adequate and, atrural level, this is one of the most complex issues to manage

    Graph 4 shows access to public services of households in the area of influence.Although electricity is the service with the widest coverage, it does not reachall communities in the rural area. Access to water, which influences childrens

    performance at school, reaches barely 38.1% among the rural population,compared to 98.6% in urban areas. Only 21.1% of rural households haveaccess to running water, 11.8% to sewage systems and 13.2% to garbagecollection. A fact which it is important to highlight is that 59.6% of the ruralpopulation reported having no access to any public services (see Table 2 inAppendix 1).

    Similarly, it is important to analyze how water for human consumption is
