MAPPING SURVEY: BALI AND SURABAYA
The mapping survey identified the specific location of HBWs, the type of work that they do, and their economic conditions relative to their job. Bali and Surabaya were chosen as study areas based on the information on the type of jobs available in each location as sourced from local industrial statistics. Bali as a tourist destination produces handicraft to support the thriving tourism sector. Surabaya is an industrial area where majority of HBWs support the manufacturing industry. Different methods were applied in the two areas. This allowed more flexibility in culling out various information to better understand the HBWs’ social and economic conditions.
Bali is a new area where HomeNet Indonesia plans to implement its advocacy and development program. In Bali, besides conducting the survey to know the conditions of the HBWs, mapping technique was also applied. The survey was done to collect information related to social and economic status, production-distribution process, market chain, working conditions, and motivation to organize. Mapping identified the locations of workers and the type of jobs that they do.
Capturing HBWs’ socio-economic conditions and the problems that they face, with particular attention to the industry sector, was the emphasis in Surabaya. To elicit group perception on several issues, survey and focus group discussions were employed. Mapping technique was not conducted since the incidence of HBWs and the types of jobs they held were already known. The number of respondents in both Bali and Surabaya was 120, all of whom were women with production quotas.
