Sampling
According to Belize census 2000, Placencia has 178 households and Seine Bight
has 221 households. However, the Seine Bight area also includes the Maya Beach area
that is heavily populated by expatriates from countries such as the United States and the
United Kingdom. The Seine Bight Village proper, settled by the Garifuna has fewer
households than Placencia. A larger number of households are drawn from Placencia
because of its larger population size compared to Seine Bight.
A random sample of households, consisting of one third of the number of house
holds from Placencia and Seine Bight will consist of nearly 60 households from
Placencia and about 50 households from Seine Bight. Accordingly, every third
household in each of the two areas will be contacted and requested participation in the
study. However, even if every third household is not included in the survey; extraction of
a large sample, about 33 percent of the total population of the households in the two
areas, is likely to ensure a representative sample. In accordance with this sampling plan,
110 households were contacted. Of the 110 households contacted, 107 households agreed
to participate in this study.
Data Generation
A questionnaire was given to a total of 107 households in Placencia and Seine
Bight. A copy of the questionnaire is presented in Appendix C. The questionnaire was
designed as a self-administered questionnaire in English because. English is the official
language of Belize. Those who needed assistance with the questionnaire were aided by
this researcher and helped in completing the questionnaire in full. The questionnaire
consisted of both closed ended and open-ended questions.51
