Introduction: This map shows the chief sources of shelter materials by refugees based on a camp survey of 7,189 households by REACH in July 2015. This is approximately 78% of the 9,242 households registered by UNHCR in January 2015. The data shown is expected to be representative of the population in Yusif Batil camp due to the robust sampling methodology used.
Methodology: As part of the survey, each household was asked a series of questions about each shelter that they owned, including the type of structure that they had. Vononoi polygons were generated using the GPS locations of each household so that every location within the polygon is closest to the point inside that polygon than any other point. This is designed to anonymize results and make the data easier to interpret. Responses for each shelter were aggregated up to the household level. The options were further aggregated in order for the data to be easier to interpret. Tukul and traditional structures were combined with grass and wood. UNHCR, Other NGO tent, and Japanese tent were combined into NGO Tent. A category denoting whether the structure is mudded or not was created to differetnitate the tukuls, traditional structures, and CGI strucutres which have mudded walls. N/A (Not Available) is used to represents all cases in which the shelter data from the survey was not sufficient for analysis, and was removed. The polygons is this map should in no way be considered as a plot of land that the household owns.
Results: 28% of shelters in the camp are grass and wood, 23% are mudded grass and wood structures, 13% are tarpulin and wood, 13% are mudded tukuls, 13% are UNHCR tents, 8% are mudded and iron-sheeted CGI structures, and 3% were either Japanese tents or donated by another NGO.
