This statistic shows the biggest cities in Botswana in 2022. In 2022, approximately **** million people lived in Gaborone, making it the biggest city in Botswana.

Abstract

The survey was designed to identify those factors (behaviour, knowledge, attitudes, cultural) that are associated with the HIV epidemic prevention, infection and impact mitigation amongst the population age 10-64 years, and also measure the country’s population-based estimate of HIV/AIDS prevalence amongst the population aged 18 months and over.

Objectives • Generate a nationally representative population-based estimate of HIV/AIDS prevalence amongst the population 18 months old to 64 years plus. • Identify and document those factors (i.e. behaviour, knowledge, attitudes, cultural) that are associated with the HIV epidemic prevention, infection and impact mitigation amongst the population age 10-64 years. • Establish core benchmarks against which successive progress on the impact of the National Response to HIV/AIDS can be measured.

Universe

The target population focused at two levels. i. For the biomarker segment of the survey, the population covered aged 18 months and above. ii. The behavioural segment targeted at the population 10-64 years old. iii. Usual members of the Household

Only private dwellings were within the scope of the survey. Institutional dwellings (prisons, hospitals, army barracks, hotels, etc), Ngamiland Delta, CKGR and with completely industrial area were not within the scope of the survey.

The non-citizen tourists who were in Botswana on holidays and not working here were also not included in the survey. Foreign tourists may, of course, be here as visitors to a selected household for the survey. In such cases they were treated as visitors, their names were recorded and the relevant questions were asked about them only at household level.

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

Sampling Frame For BAIS II the sampling frame was based on the 2001 Population and Housing Census. This comprised the list of all Enumeration Area (EA) together with number of households. In 2001 Census, the EAs were framed of manageable size (in terms of dwellings/households), so the primary sampling units (PSUs) were EAs.

Stratification Stratification was undertaken such that all districts and major urban centres become their own strata. With regard to increasing precision, consideration was also given to group EAs according to ecological zones in rural districts and according to income categories in cities/towns. Geographical stratification along ecological zones and income categories was expected to improve the accuracy of survey data because homogeneity of the variables within stratum was relatively high.

Sample Design A stratified two-stage probability sample design was used for the selection of the sample. The first stage was the selection of EAs as Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) selected with probability proportional to measures of size (PPS), where measures of size (MOS) were the number of households in the EA as defined by the 2001 Population and Housing Census. In all 460 EAs were selected with probability proportional to size. At the second stage of sampling, the households were systematically selected from a fresh list of occupied households prepared at the beginning of the survey's fieldwork (i.e. listing of households for the selected EAs). Overall 8380 households were drawn systematically.

Note: See detailed sampling procedure in BAIS-II final report.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The BAIS II has five major components. These are: 1 The Community schedule. 2 The Household schedule. 3 The individual schedule. 4 Workplace schedule and 5 HIV testing.

Pre-Test The BAIS II instruments (household, individual, workplace, community and biomarker) were pre-tested in areas in and around Gaborone in November 2003. Few changes were incorporated in the Individual questionnaire. The introduction of written consent for Biomarker from the respondent was dropped due to the fact of psychological and social factors on the respondents.

Cleaning operations

Before data entry was carried out, the questionnaires were edited to check if all the relevant questions have been responded to and coded according to the codes designed for the study. Editing and coding started in March 2004 by 19 Coders and finished in August 2004. Data entry was carried out under the supervision of one programmer/supervisor. Consistency checks on the data set as per the Computer edit Specifications designed by the subject matter specialists were performed.

Die Hauptstadt Gaborone ist mit ******* Einwohner:innen im Jahr 2022 die größte Stadt in Botswana. Die Statistik zeigt die zehn größten Städte in Botswana im Jahr 2022 gemäß den Ergebnissen der offiziellen Volkszählung (Population Census 2022).

Städte, Metropolen, Megacities Immer mehr Menschen leben in städtischen Ballungszentren – ein Trend, der sich auch zukünftig fortsetzen wird. Ab welcher Einwohnerzahl eine Ortschaft als Stadt zu zählen hat und wie ihre Grenzen zu ziehen sind, ist allerdings international nicht einheitlich definiert.

Agglomeration 

Mit Agglomeration (Ballungsraum) ist zumeist ein zusammenhängendes urbanes Gebiet gemeint, wie z.B. das Ruhrgebiet, das aus mehreren Städten und Vororten bestehen kann. Metropolen Metropolen sind Städte, die für die Region grundsätzlich eine herausragende Stellung besitzen (z.B. in wirtschaftlicher oder kultureller Hinsicht).
Megacities Als Megacities werden Städte mit mindestens ** Millionen Einwohnern bezeichnet.

Aufgrund der Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Definitionen, Abgrenzungen und Überschneidungen, sind Städte hinsichtlich der Einwohnerzahl international nur begrenzt vergleichbar.
