SIHANOUKVILLE Questionnaire Survey 2009 Sihanoukville, the third largest city in Cambodia, is located on the coast 185 kilometres south-west of Phnom Penh by the Gulf of Thailand. The economy of this growing Cambodian urban location centres on its port for import and exports to the national economy. Additionally, a fast growing tourism industry has helped to improve infrastructures and construction in general in Sihanoukville and its province, with the help of both foreign and national investments. As the number of tourists coming to Sihanoukville has risen, so has the number of migrants with no-tions of prosperity. However, these are often met by high unemployment rates and few housing options, increasing the risk of children having to either live or work on the streets. Adding to this problem, widespread land evictions in wider Sihanoukville have left several hundred poor families both home - and landless. The Sihanoukville questionnaire survey 2009 was conducted by the CSCN member M’Lop Tapang. A total of 122 questionnaires were filled out about children/youth attending their ser-vices. Of these 59 percent (72) were male and 41 percent (50) female.

The questionnaire survey in Sihanoukville let to an interesting result regarding the age distribution with a remarkable increase of the 15 to 18 years category. CSCN member M’Lop Tapang explains this increase due to the growing number of young migrants heading towards Sihanoukville. The distribution of age, however, has the majority of street children/youth in the 10 to 14 age category (45.1 percent) followed by the 15 to 18 age category (30.3 percent), 6 to 9 age category (23 percent), and finally under 6 years (1.6 percent). Despite an increase of the 15 to 18 years category from 18.1 percent in 2008 to 30.3 percent in 2009, the average age of the street children/youth in Sihanoukville remains relatively low at 12.3 years – the age distribution based on category and average is thus two years less than the average of the six Cambodian locations. The gender distribution identified in the Sihanoukville survey reveals an almost even male to female ratio with 59 percent male and 41 female. The gender distribution identified in the sur-vey is thus equal to that of the total snapshot survey, though differing from the total of ques-tionnaire survey where 70.8 percent were male and only 29.1 percent female.
