1 Guidelines for the Travel Diary Number of Travel Diaries per Village 1. About 20 travel diaries will be done for every village surveyed. The number may vary slightly, depending upon the number of households per village and the village mix of vocation and gender. Selection of Vocation Categories/Individuals for Travel Diaries 2. The selection of individuals to record 24-hr travel diaries shall be made on the basis of household category, vocation, gender, and socio-economic factors. Generally, all major vocations, age and gender groups within the village will be represented by the Travel Diary. Selection of categories to be interviewed for travel diary purposes will be made by the Study Team, in consultation with the concerned PO, from the Village Profiles furnished by the PO. A possible example of such selection is given below : From the village profile Table-(iii), the following information will be available, which shall form the basis of selection of the travel diary categories.

2 Notes : (1)For female headed households, (category J of table ii of village profile), an additional female head of household may also be interviewed for travel diary. (2) One transport vendor from Table (iv) of village profile may also be interviewed. 3. Once the selection has been done by the Study Team, it will be up to the survey team to determine which individuals will be interviewed, so as to give maximum socio-economic, cultural, age-gender, and special diversity within the village. 4. Summarizing the selection of individuals for travel diary will be a three-stage process : Furnishing Table (iii) at the village profile stage by the concerned PO Selection of Categories by the Study Team, based on Table (iii) Selection of Individuals by the Survey Team during the Stage II survey. 5.
