Theoretical Framework
There are some reasons why financial inclusion is needed. 8ne is the high population of
countries like Nigeria. Because of the number of people, the financial services were not made
available to each of them. So despite of being famous as one of the successful banking sector
they cannot be call it as achievement because of the lacked of access to formal financial services
(ina and 8luyumbo.
The /eserved Bank of #ndia (/B#9s reported and identify t the reason why people were
in financial e6clusion and these are lacked of opportunities and access to finance financial
illiteracy, poor performance and negative approached of the banks. So :r. 4. 4. ;andhi said
that the opening of bank account is the target of !inancial #nclusion (;andhi, $%&'.

general characteristics. Those residents do not have accessed in financial services and cannot
afford to avail because of many charges that affected their decisions. Those residents, who know
the financial products and services which offered by the banks and can availed, had a big role in
shaping their 3uality of life towards to the formal financial institution offering. Particularly, in

knowledge about financial product and services offered by banks, and some of them 0ust do not
want to avail. Some were not interested to open or to have a savings account because it was

Survey is an activity that gathers information in an organi7ed way about the interest of
a particular population using well defined concept methods and procedures to make a useful
summary for, it usually begin with the need of information where there is no data e6ist. Survey
users can be powerful because it may be the only way to gather information for ongoing research

Research instrument
The researchers used Survey ?uestionnaire as the data instrument of this study. #t
included in choosing an unbiased sample representative of the sub0ect from the group that a
person wish to study. The survey was done by face=to=face interview, through telephone
interviews, through e=mail and using 3uestionnaire (Neville, $%%).
The advantage of Survey ?uestionnaire is promotes a more valid and reliable results in
the group of population that is covered in the research. The e6ertions of effort and money
become worthy at the same time that gives more reliable information which is that the
respondents, as they answered the 3uestionnaire willingly. :isadvantage is occurring in the

'esign of the instrument/ The survey 3uestionnaire of this study composed of four
parts, first was about the socio demographic profile of respondent, specially, residents who are
living in 4arikina, particularly, in district # and ## which includes of age, gender, civil status,
employment status, personal income, educational background, district and barangay. The
researchers composed sub=3uestions on this part that under in socio demographic profile on the
of the problem. The second part was focus on about the financial products and services which
have only one 3uestion and this 3uestion has a sub=3uestion. Then the third part was composed
of eleven 3uestions that talks about the state of financial inclusion. !inally, the last part was all
about the 3uality of life which composed of eight 3uestions.
The researchers used "ikert Scale as measuring tool in answering the 3uestions that
indicated in this survey 3uestionnaire of this study. The number & represents e6tremely, number $
means very much, number ' stands for a moderate amount, number + is a little and number @

result of the data that collected in a survey is an indication of how reliable the data are (8kafor,

The 3uestionnaire has a incomplete answer was treated as invalid and not considered as
part of the survey, but in order to make sure that the 3uestionnaire was completely answered, the
researcher check it first before leaving the households. #f the survey 3uestionnaire was
incompletely answered, the researchers re3uest to the respondents t to answer the 3uestions that
they leaved.
$tatistical Treatment of 'ata
'ata Analysis/ #t is the crucial step in survey because the 3uality of the analysis can
affect the whole survey. summari7ing and interpreting of data meaning that gives clear
interpretation of answer to the 3uestions. The result of the survey should be related to the
3uestion in the statement of the problem (Statistic in 5anada, $%&%.
Cnder of this section talked about the statistical tools that used in this study. There are
two types of Statistical treatment namelyI :escriptive and #nferential Statistical tools. The
researchers used this method to analy7e each 3uestion written in the Statement of the Problem of
this study. :escriptive Statistic is the overall methods and treatments engaged in the collection
which the purpose is to give information about a certain group of data. The #nferential Statistic is
the techni3ue from sample analysis to interpretation about the population which also known as
statistical inference or inductive statistics (Sirug, $%&&. lso inferential statistics aim to go

Analysis of the statement of the roblem/ #n presenting% interpreting and analy7ing
the data gathered by the researchers, the use of statistical tools become essential>
To answer the part # 3uestions, which the socio=demographic profile of respondents,
the researchers used fre3uency and percentage distribution to get the number of observations in
each classes where f M number of respondents and n M total number of respondents. The
researchers simply divide the number of respondents to the total number of respondents and
multiply it by &%% percent.
P M ! G n 6 &%%
The researchers used the nominal scale to compute its mean to solve the 3uestions in
part #. Nominal scale is the classes or categories which differentiate for the purpose of nearly
classification and identification. The used of mean is applicable to determined a central tendency
of interval or ratio data. #t is only the usual measure to know a certain value this is called mean.
6 M 6 G n
The formula of mean where 6 is the sum of all Qs, 6 is the sample mean, 6 is the
value of any particular observations or measurement and is the total number of values in the
sample. To get the mean with the used of this formula, the sum of 6 is divided by the total
number of values in the sample.
Standard :eviation refers to a statistical term that gives a good intimation to the data

Ahere 6 is the sum of all QS, and n is the total number of values in the sample. To
compute standard deviation, the s3uare root of total numbers of values multiplied by the sum of
all QS s3uared, divided by the total number of values, multiplied by total number of values minus
one (Sirug, $%&&.
To answer a part ### 3uestion which is the state of financial inclusion, the researchers
used nominal to compute its mean and ordinal to compute its weighted mean. Aeighted mean is
useful to measure the response of the respondents from survey 3uestions where f M total response
in each 3uestion, 6 M likert scale and nM total number of respondents. The formula is multiplying
the total response to the likert scale then divided by the total number of respondents (Sirug,

"astly, to answer the part #E 3uestion which is 3uality of life, the researchers used also
the same statistical tool from above.
Hyothesis Testing/ #t is defined as the statistical method that is used in making
decisions on statistical basis by using e6perimental data. This hypothesis testing is an assumption
that the population they make becomes the parameter. There are two procedures in hypothesis
testing, first is the Null hypothesis, it shows that there is no significant difference and assumes

that the observation happens by chance factor. The second one is the lternative hypothesis, it
shows that there is a significant difference between the two variables and the results want to
prove by the researchers (Sirug, $%&&.
Threats to .alidity. There is much more evidence of threats to validity than sources of
validity. Threats to validity is defines as the factors that interfere with the interpretation of data.
ccording to 4essick, there are two ma0or sources of validity threats. The construct under
representation pertains to the under sampling or bias sampling while the construct irrelevant
variance pertains to systematic error. But they both reduce the ability to interpret the instrument
that decreases evidence for validity (:owning J Ludkowsky, $%%.
The internal validity is referred to as control. 5ontrol variable or constant is added to
sets of substitution for development variable. 4ost common set of variable consists of
dependent, independent and intervening variables. 26ternal validity is the condition that permits
the interference of the sample findings to the population from which the sample are selected

Ethical Consideration
The consideration of ethics in research showed understands that basic ethical research
and how it affects the research. #t is most important if the research involved interaction to
community who serves as participants or what we call respondents. There are some possibility
that may harm the interaction between the researchers and the respondents. #t includes
psychological harm, those that would offend the respondents, financial harm, like these unethical

2thical consideration incorporates policy, codes and principals are important but they
do not cover every situation sometimes they conflict and re3uired interpretation. That-s why

offered. nd also they need to have a plan on how they can motivate or convince the people to
avail the services that they offer and to tell them what are the benefits of availing financial
services. The researchers also recommend to the bank that they need to create a strategy to
increase the number of people that can have availed to the bank. nd they should lower the
service charge that they impose so that the people can have an access to the financial product and
services that they offered.
To the future researchers the researchers recommend that if they decided to conduct the
