In cluster sampling, researchers divide a population into smaller groups known as clusters. They then randomly select among these clusters to form a sample. Cluster sampling is a method of probability sampling that is often used to study large populations, particularly those that are widely geographically dispersed. Researchers usually use pre-existing units such as schools or cities as their clusters. 3, record 1, English, - cluster%20sampling

Pour effectuer un échantillonnage par grappes, il s'agit dans un premier temps de diviser la population en sous-ensembles appelés grappes. Chacune de ces grappes est constituée d'individus supposés être représentatifs de la population. L'échantillonnage par grappes consiste alors à choisir un échantillon aléatoire de grappes puis à observer, pour chacune de ces grappes, tous les individus y appartenant. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chantillonnage%20en%20grappe

La technique de l'échantillonnage par grappes implique la division de la population en groupes ou en grappes, comme son nom l'indique. Suivant cette technique, un certain nombre de grappes est sélectionné au hasard, puis toutes les unités incluses à l'intérieur des grappes sélectionnées constituent l'échantillon. 2, record 2, French, - grappe

The The Settlements Earth Observation Inventory(SEOI) … is an inventory of geographic information and codes based on an overlay and analysis of the blocks in comparison to satellite imagery. The analysis of the SEOI led to the concepts and threshold-setting for rules related to population, employed labour force(ELF) and dwelling densities, as well as buffers. A ‘buffer’ is a zone around a block or cluster of blocks; for example, a block cluster with a buffer of 1 km would involve a zone 1 km wide around the periphery of the block cluster boundary. 2, record 5, English, - cluster%20boundary

L’Inventaire des zones de peuplement par l’observation de la Terre (IZPOT) est un inventaire de données géographiques et de codes résultant d’une superposition et d’une analyse des îlots en comparaison avec des images satellites. […] L’IZPOT a fourni des données permettant d’analyser et de comprendre la structure, la distribution et les relations spatiales entre les îlots habités. L’analyse de l’inventaire a permis d’adopter les concepts et d’établir les seuils pour les règles portant sur la population, la population active occupée et les densités d’habitat ainsi que sur les zones tampons. Une « zone tampon » est une zone autour d’un îlot ou d’une grappe d’îlots; par exemple, une grappe d’îlots avec une zone tampon d’un kilomètre comprend une zone d’un kilomètre de large autour de la périphérie de la limite de la grappe d’îlots. 2, record 5, French, - limite%20de%20grappe
