4.2 Population and Sampling Population The purpose of West Rail is to provide railway service for residents in West New Territories to travel to and from their home and urban areas. This report aim as investigating their change in transportation mode, so the population should limited to the residents in West New Territories. The population is divided based on different districts in West New Territories. The total population in West New Territories: 937,901. The population in Tuen Mun District: 488,831. The population in Yuen Long District is 449,070 whereas around 200,000 residents are now live in Tin Shui Wai (Census and Statistics Department, 2001). So this report try to divide the population into three main districts, Tuen Mun District, Yuen Long (Tin Shui Wai District) and other parts in Yuen Long District except Tin Shui Wai. Sampling The sampling frame is limited to those people who travel to and from West New Territories and urban areas by bus or West Rail at least once a week. It is because this report focuses on residents that use bus or West Rail to go to urban areas regularly in order to induce some transportation pattern from them. The reason for limit the times of travel to at least once a week is because some people like student or housewives do not often go to urban areas. Some people may even use their own car. 35
It cannot generate some useful information from them. Some people may only travel West Rail on the weekends for recreation purpose. So the regular recreation trips can also generate some ideas for KCRC for its strategies. 4.3 Questionnaire Design In order to collect information and opinion of residents in West New Territories, questionnaire must be designed thoroughly.
