The stratified random sampling method is used to collect the data by the original questionnaire. The semi-structures method and the focus group discussion are used to collect the data by interviews. Based on the population data, we select 206 sample households (approximately 10% of all households) from three villages. Among these samples, 78 households are participants of PUE program while 128 households are non-participants of the program. The sample from Karimunjawa village takes about 45.15% from total sample.
