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.\n\nThe survey covers activities of the informal sector according to (ISIC-4) for both:\nNon-scheduled passenger land transport (4922)\nFreight transport by road (4923)\n\nObjectives:\nObjectives of this survey are the following. \n1.

To avoid errors and reduce their effects, great efforts were made to train the fieldworkers intensively.  They were trained in how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid.\n\nAlso data entry staff was trained on the entry program that was examined before starting the data entry process, preparing data entry program before data collection for checking readiness of the program for data entry, a set of validation rules were applied on the program for checking consistency of data, weekly data files were received by project management for checking accuracy and consistency, notes of correction are provided for data entry management for correction.
