3.4 Questionnaire and Schedules

Questionnaire = the self-administered instrument (the respondent reads and writes: the mailed, the online — the Google-form era); Schedule = the enumerator-administered one (the interviewer reads and records — the field survey's tool). The design's craft (the exam's list):the clear, single-idea questions; the language's simplicity (the respondent's tongue — the Nepali- and-mother-tongue reality); the closed (the coded: yes/no, the Likert scale's degrees) vs open (the free text) balance; the funnel sequence (general → specific; easy → sensitive); the demography's block at the end; the pilot-testing (the pretest's discipline); the length's mercy. Inlegal research: the litigants' experience survey, the lawyers' perception study, the access-to- justice questionnaires (the distance-cost-time questions of the village's court journey).
