Such challenges should be taken into account when studying results of the survey. V1.0: Basic raw data, obtained from data entry (before editing). Informal Transport economic conditions and indicators [1.2] There is increasing concern in national statistical offices about coverage of informal economic activities. PCBS has given priority to transport activities, due to their importance to the Palestinian economy. The informal transport survey complements the 2000 formal transport sector survey. The PCBS began by exerting tremendous effort to establish a sampling frame. All land transport stops in major Palestinian cities were defined and data about the number and characteristics of operating vehicles were collected in order to stratify the population into homogenous stratum. The survey covers activities of the informal sector according to (ISIC-3) for both: Non-scheduled passenger land transport (6022) Freight transport by road (6023) Objectives: Objectives of this survey are the following: 1. Number of transport vehicles and persons engaged by activity. 2. Value of output and intermediate consumption. 3. Value added components. 4. Fixed assets and other selected variables. Palestine Palestinian Territory vehicles The design used is a random cluster stratified sample: quota sample proportional to the size of the station. The sample size amounted to (1490) vehicles of the total (10143) vehicles that comprise the survey frame. Sample Clusters: Barking divided to clusters on the following levels: 1. Transport kind: vehicles divided according to its activity to: · Taxi passengers. · Privet passengers. · Freight transport by road. 2. Vehicles model: vehicles divided according to its model to: · Model 1985 below. · Model 1986 up Sample survey data [ssd] Objectives: Objectives of this survey are the following: 1.

Data Collecting a Examine the questionnaire formally and technically. b Examine the forms used in fieldwork. c. Examine titles and definition information's. d. Study the explicit and implicit refusal cases. e. Study the time needed to reach the establishment. This test realized sought aims, where some notes taken about the questionnaire, data, titles and responding rates. Then the fieldwork documents took some changes depended on these notes. Selection and Training of Field workers Field workers are subjected to personal interviews and undergo certain practical and theoretical training to provide them with the key components and the definitions of the questionnaire. The best trainees who pass the theoretical and practical training chosen to collect data. Fieldwork Management and Organization Fieldwork directorate supervises data collection and coordinate to the fieldworkers to perform the set plans for each survey. The fieldwork staff constitute of coordinators, supervisors in addition to the editing staff. Implementing this mission requires the existence of district offices close to working areas to be used as centers for fieldwork staff and fieldwork tools. Data Collection Method Fieldworkers collect data through personal interviews with the owners or the managers of the selected economic establishments. Fieldwork editing Fieldworkers and supervisors make an initial formally and technically editing depends on prepared editing rules. Office Editing The filled questionnaires are subjected to editing where the inaccurate questionnaires resend to the fieldwork again to correct the mistakes and to complete the missing parts. Coding After finish editing process the completed questionnaires subject to coding process to be prepared to the data entry process. This section presents technical notes concerning the statistical quality of the collected data, which should be taken into consideration as follows: · Many constraints were encountered during the implementation of this survey due to the Israeli measures, which restrict movement between cities and localities in the Palestinian Territory. · Simple changes in values of same variables in the tables are noticeable due to the data processing. · Intermediate consumption excluded insurance premiums in the table of service expenditures.

It is necessary to use weights in the estimation of the survey society because of the differentiation in the possibility of vehicles' selection from another one. Data Processing Office Editing: The office editor also edits the questionnaire in order to be ready to be sent to coding and data entry.
