For the implementation of the field, in the District Asahan are a total sample of 72 census blocks (or about 720 households) with field personnel by 45 people consisting of 36 field enumerators (PCS), which is derived from the CWC 20 and 16 people from Partners Statistics. While 9 as a field supervisor (PMS). Each PCS work 2 blocks census. And each PMS oversees about 4 PCS or supervise as many as 8 blocks census. With the burden of supervision / inspection that so much of course this is not an obstacle for supervisors to carry out their duties. Schedule enumeration took place from 1-20 March 2015.

At the beginning of household enumeration, supervisory guidance and performance evaluation to the clerk, it is intended to minimize the errors that occur both in terms of concept definition, how to fill out the questionnaire and the lack of probing of the officers so that mistakes can be avoided which may occur as early as possible.
