ABSTRACT
In this paper, analysis of
methodology was realized for the application of stratified random sampling with
optimum allocation in the case of a subject of research which concerns the
rural population and presents high differentiations among the three strata in
which this population could be classified. The rural population of Evros Prefecture (Greece)
with criterion the mean altitude of settlements was classified in three strata,
the mountainous, semi-mountainous and flat population for the estimation of
mean consumption of forest fuel wood for covering of heating and cooking needs
in households of these three strata. The analysis of this methodology includes: (1) the determination
of total size of sample for entire the rural population and its allocation to
the various strata;
(2) the investigation
of effectiveness of stratification with the technique of analysis of variance
(One-Way ANOVA);
(3) the conduct of
sampling research with the realization of face-to-face interviews in selected
households and (4)
the control of forms of the questionnaire and the analysis of data by using the
statistical package for social sciences, SPSS for Windows. All data for the
analysis of this methodology and its practical application were taken by the
pilot sampling which was realized in each stratum. Relative paper was not found
by the review of literature.
