When designing fieldwork sampling plans, researchers need to take into account financial, logistic, labor and ethical constraints in addition to the initial study objectives.
During the fieldwork, locating sample members was facilitated by having access to other family members from whom the field team could gather information.
RO fieldwork and sample collection.
Permission for fieldwork and sample collection was provided by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in Kenya and the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) in Tanzania to LP. CITES export permits were obtained from both Kenya and Tanzania.
Detailed fieldwork and sampling by drilling cores in the coastal area provided samples for further analytical studies.
Primate Research Institute Kyotoo University, Saru-goya Foundationn, G. Hanya, S. Kamitani and R. Tsujino have supported fieldwork for sampling.
BG coordinates the study fieldwork including sampling, data collection and data entry, supported by IJH, JK and SH.
It is worth highlighting that at least the initial stages of sampling and sub-sampling are easily integrated with other types of fieldwork, e.g. sampling for pollen, diatoms or the like, or during standard archaeological excavation where samples can conveniently be taken in open profiles.
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) underlie the methodology of this research that combines crime police records, police protocols and information from fieldwork of a sample of rape places.
In order to reduce fieldwork costs, the sample was clustered by neighbourhood code and a new selection was done proportional to the size of the target population in the cluster, which transformed the sample into a clustered random one still allowing the calculation of selection probabilities.
