**Chapter 5: Survey Findings (Country-based Analysis: Cambodia)

In Kien Svay District in Kandal Province, which was the target site of the survey in Cambodia, in total 200 persons (102 persons with disabilities and 98 persons without disabilities) were surveyed.

1) Demographics of Persons with Disabilities
Types of Disability

Persons with physical disabilities are the biggest group (40%), followed by visual (22%), intellectual (16%), speech (11%), hearing (7%), multiple (2%), psychosocial (1%) and others (2%). 

*Gender
In Kien Svay District, there were 102 respondents with disabilities (44 men, 58 women).

*Education
The figure shows that 34% of persons with disabilities have no education and 51% finished elementary school, while 5% finished high school and only 2% went to college. 
   
Among the overall 62% of persons with disabilities who have education, 60% of them are men with disabilities and 40% are women with disabilities. This indicates that women with disabilities have lower opportunities than men in terms of education. 

*Employment
The results show that 66% of persons with disabilities are unemployed while only 28% are currently employed.   

As to the distribution of employment, farming is the biggest ratio (12%), followed by self-employed (8%), house keeper (4%), radio hosting (1%), private company (1%), labor work (1%), selling (1%) and sewing (1%). The high number of farming indicates that the target area is a rural setting. 

2) Accessibility
When assessing the accessibility of buildings/establishments, 5 areas of accessibility were checked: ramp, accessible toilet, non-skid floor, signage, parking space. A building would be considered accessible if it met 3 out of 5 areas. The 18 surveyed buildings are community facilities including commune or village office, schools, health centers, markets and public places.

The survey clarified that very small numbers of public buildings/establishments were accessible for persons with disabilities. As a matter of fact, 2 out of 18 audited buildings/establishments met the criteria to be said accessible (11.1%). Among the 18 surveyed places, there were only 6 buildings and establishments with ramps (33.1%), 2 with accessible toilets (11.1%), 12 non-skid floors (66.7%), none with signage (0%), and 1 with accessible parking space (5.6%).

3) Attitudes
*Knowledge/Awareness
The figure below indicates that the majority of persons with disabilities/their parents had medium level on knowledge/awareness on disability or higher.

*Attitudes/Beliefs
Most respondents had low level of attitudes/beliefs (74% of persons with disabilities/parents and 60% of persons without disabilities). This indicates that a negative attitude towards persons with disabilities were generally identifiable in the target community.
   

*Behavior/Treatment
Nearly half of persons without disabilities (47%) had high level of behavior/treatment, while 49% of persons with disabilities and their parents had low level of behavior/treatment. This indicates that persons with disabilities and their parents may have experienced negative behaviours that persons without disabilities may not have known.
