INTRODUCTION

Higher Education Commission of Pakistan approved a research for the Institute of Economics, University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Muzaffarabad to conduct research in inter-relationships among values, religiosity, spirituality and economics behaviors using the Divine Economics Framework. These pages provide information about the survey instruments used in this research.

The first survey of the Series 'Divine Economics Survey' was conducted in the year 2000 through Department of Economics, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad. Afterwards, a number of surveys were conducted about the role of religiosity, spirituality and ethics in economics. The Department of Labor and Work life of Harvard University also assisted a survey in 2006 about the role of religiosity in economic rehabilitation after the earthquake of October 2005. Its report is available at Harvard University website1 and was also published by the University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir in 2007. In the year 2008 this survey was conducted in various cities if the world as case studies. This helped to determine economic and spiritual similarities among various religions. The work was expanded further and in June 2009, a survey was conducted in Pakistan to explore further development of analytical economics with respect to Spirituality and Spiritual Human Capital, jointly by Kashmir Institute of Economics and Pakistan’s distinguished organization Pakistan Institute of Development Economics. Afterwards, some changes were made in the questionnaire and additional sub-modules were added. The revised questionnaire is is used in 2013 survey round that more focuses on Moral and Universal Values. The data acquired through this questionnaire will fill the gaps that impeded the thesis requirements of the researchers and students and the pursuit to conduct further research on different aspects of Economics and Religiosity interrelationships.

Objectives of the ManualThis manual is prepared to serve as a basic reference guide for the field team

members/enumerators, data analysts, M. Phil/PhD scholars using this data-set and potential other researchers who would be extending Divine Economics in future. The objective of the manual is to facilitate a standardized data collection and survey process. This manual provides: Brief definitions of the concepts and terms used in the questionnaires. Explanation of relatively questions which are relatively less frequently used in economic

surveys

Survey ModulesTo meet the diverse data requirements of the project, many modules were developed, tested and administered for data collection. These include;

1. Main Module2. Extended Module3. Specific Modules

a. Ethics and Worker’s Performance (a. Teacher’s performance b. Enterprise)b. Religiosity and Time Allocationc. Wellbeing and Time Allocation Patternsd. Religiosity and Consumptione. Disaster Perceptions and Preparedness Module

The Main Module contained questions about Worklife, Spirituality, Ethical values, Wellbeing, Willingness to pay; the Extended Module covering deeper aspects of Worklife, Spirituality, Sleep Poverty, Water; and, the 'specific modules' aimed at collecting topic-specific information using a sub-sample or a smaller separate sample. Sampling Technique for Main Module -Divine Economics Survey 2013Area and Zones: Using multi-stage, stratified random sampling techniques, for the present research project on Divine Economics, assisted by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan, we have drawn sample size on the basis of population ratio of each district. The total population of Azad Jammu and Kashmir is 1.5 million (according to the census of 1998). We have selected 5 districts for our sample out of 10 districts. The districts which we selected are having nearly same topology and environment. On the basis of different topology, environment and geographical location, Azad Kashmir can easily be divided into two zones. In zone one, we have Muzaffarabad, Hattian, Bagh, Poonch and Sudhnoti. Neelum valley which is adjacent to Muzaffarbad has very different environment, and this difference is mainly because of two reasons; it remains disconnected from other areas for many months due to heavy snow fall, still Neelum valley has no electricity and telecommunication in most of its parts. So we decided to not include Neelum valley in our sample of zone one of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The other four districts (Mirpur, Kotli, Bhimber and Haveli) have different topology and environment. So, we finally decided to limit our sample to the five districts in zone one.

Sample Size: Gross FinalMain Module 1000 - 851Extended Module 400 - 385Specific Modules 600 - 433 [120+120+110+83+120]

TOTAL 2000 - 1789

Future surveys should not necessarily follow this sampling design and may adopt any alternative strategy as appropriate to meet the objective of respective researches.



The description of different modules and corresponding information is given below;

Sampling of Main Survey Module: We have calculated population proportion for each district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir in our sample size of 1000 households. Then the desired number of sample for all respective districts is drawn on the basis of population proportion.

The following table shows the population proportion and respective samples size required from each district. The minor difference in required and actual sample size from each district is due to cleaning of data and discarding few questionnaires.

Table 1.1 District wise sample size distribution of 'Main Survey'District Population n1 n2 n3Muzaffarabad 0.454 295 251 327Hattian 0.166 108 92 104Poonch 0.411 267 228 116Bagh 0.282 183 156 82Sudhnoti 0.224 146 124 222Total 1.537 1000 851 851

Note: n1 is suitable sample size for n = 1000 n2 is suitable sample size for n = 851 n3 is actual sample size for each district in our sample.

The sample size for district Poonch is less than the required sample size on the basis of population proportion. The reason is harsh weather and inaccessible road/infrastructure system. The survey was conducted in winter season; the sample size collected is less than the required sample size.

Sampling of Extended and Specific Modules: The sampling details of extended and specific modules is given separately along with different studies conducted as Master’s, M. Phil or PhD research.The Survey InstrumentsKeeping in view the study requirements, a number of instruments were used which included a Main Questionnaire, the Extended Questionnaire, the topic specific Questionnaires, the Interview Schedule, FGD Checklists and a separate online survey questionnaire. A comprehensive set of questionnaires was developed with the help of scholars and researchers for Divine Economic Survey 2012 and 2013. This questionnaire has a main module for overall analysis, an extended module and different sub-modules for deeper analyses on specific topics explored by M. Phil and PhD scholars. These sub-modules include



consumption pattern, saving pattern, time allocation pattern, income, demography, work life, water usage, religiosity, spirituality, ethics and social capital etc. Almost all the instruments are available at our official website and the readers are encouraged to visit website for viewing them directly in addition to the manual in hand.

WT 113: The question represents the level of satisfaction of respondent by directly asking him, if he is not satisfied with the system; the reasons for dissatisfaction is also asked, i.e. Are you satisfied with the present water system?1- No 2- YesIf not why1. No system 2- Polluted water 3- Erratic supply 4- Less availability 5. Departmental poor performance 6. Other

WT 114: The question invites opinion of the respondent that why he is seeking change in the present drinking water system. Its answer choices are;1. Better hygiene 2. Better facility 3. Women veil 4. Low water cost 5. Others

WT 118: The question investigates about the willingness of the respondent to pay for getting a better and nourishing water availability monthly in Rupees i.e. how much he is willing to pay for improved water system.

WT 120: Respondent is asked about the effective source to create awareness the people about better standard and management of water, the answer options are;1. Electronic media 2. Print media 3. Mosque/Madrasah 4. Local NGOs 5. Educational institution 6. Others

WT 121: How do you use water for ablution?. The answer choices here are; 1- In a vessel/pot 2. Directly from tap. If the respondent belongs to Sunnite School of Islamic Thoughts, he shall use water for washing hands/arms, face and feet [it is obligatory] whereas a Shiite may or may not use water for washing feet [not obligatory. Regardless of this difference, one behavior is common on both sides; some people take water in a pot for ablution and others use tap water. Usually a lot of water seems to be wasted by using tap-water which constantly flows during the act of ablution [and is religiously undesirable or 'Makrooh' ]. The more religious people are likely to waste less water.

WT 122: Do you keep water-tap open when you perform ablution? 1. Yes 2- No. This is sub-question of WT 121. It can be independently used in analysis by select case option in SPSS.


Section WTWater: In this section, respondent's willingness to pay for clean water is investigated in order to correlate it with other economic factors as well as newly defined Divine Capital components e.g. religiosity, spirituality,

ethics and reinforcement.


WT 123: is a general question to know the interest of the respondent in future programs, publications and the research in Divine Economics? 1- Yes 2- No. In case of 'Yes', respondent provides contact IDs and this can be used by researcher team later for developing panel data or conducting case studies. Building such type of respondents' bank is very useful for the innovative and sensitive research initiatives.
