Costs were collected retrospectively using a combination of an ingredients-based costing methodology, whereby quantities of resources were multiplied by their respective prices to obtain total costs, and a step-down methodology, where joint costs were allocated to activities using allocation factors [ 47].
Analysis of the QIIP documentation and the practice facilitator activity logs provided descriptive information regarding: (a) practice facilitator skills and training, (b) practice facilitator scope of practice and (c) activity categories and time allocation to these activities.
The indicators of interest, which are computed at the individual level, are: (1) the number of trips and home-based tours per day; (2) time allocation to various activities per day (i.e. daily time-budget per activity), and (3) activity sequence each day.
A budget allocated to sanitation was assessed as: 1) the public sector budget allocation to sanitation activities was less than 0.1% of the GDP; or 2) the public sector budgetary allocation to sanitation activities was at least 0.1%to0.5%5% of the GDP.
Staff people implement programs, and their time allocation to various activities within a program is therefore intended to represent the relative "resource-intensiveness" of each activity.
This paper analyzes primary data on time allocation to livelihood activities by forest communities in the Indian Himalayas to investigate this question.
Additionally, the interaction of sub-location-specific socio-economic (population, markets) and biophysical factors (soilscape variability) determined the patterns of resource allocation to different activities.
Note that these indicators are computed on the basis of daily time allocation to various activities, as in a daily "time-budget" approach.
Unlike the case of trip generation, there is greater difference between persons in their daily time allocation to various activities than between days for a given person in general, either during working days or during the weekend.
Unlike the case of trip generation, there is greater difference between people in their daily time allocation to various activities than between days for any given person, either during working days or during the weekend.
