Designing our field visit survey

We are in the process of trying to design a survey for our first field visits planned next week. So far we have been figuring what are our big questions, narrowing them down to themes, trying to collapse the 70+ questions we have into something more manageable and less intimidating for us, the translators and the participants. Another component that we are figuring out it using visual aids to simplify our questions, make them more accessible since language is a consistent challenge and levels of literacy vary. In simple terms our questions will revolve around demographic information, asset ownership, forests, non timber forest products, forestry programs among others. We are considering using charts, stickers, markers and paper handouts at the moment. If you have any suggestions on resources for survey design especially with visual design, please send them my way!
