The total sample of LFS is about 7,559 households distributed over 13 weeks. The sample of the households environmental survey occupies six weeks of the thirty round of the LFS.  The sample chosen by two stages, the first stage represented by choosing a stratified uniform random sample consisted of 481 enumeration areas, while the second stage represented by the choice of a random uniform sample of households in each enumeration area, where 16 households was chosen in each one.\nStratification:\nIn designing the sample of LFS four levels of stratification have been made:\n1.   Stratification by District.\n2.   Stratification by the locality type which comprises: \n(a)Urban\t\t(b) Rural                (c)  Camps \t \n3.   Stratification by households ownership of permanent commodities and means as it was mentioned in census 1997.\n4.   Stratification by locality size (no of households in the locality).\nSampling Unit:\nFirst stage sampling units are the enumeration in the master sample.  The second stage sampling units are households.\nTarget Cluster Size:\nThe \u201ctarget cluster size\u201d or \u201csample-take\u201d is around 16 households per PSU.\nSample Size:\nThe sample size is 3,148 Palestinian households in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where this sample has been distributed according to the locality type.\nSample and Frame:\nThe sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The environmental questionnaire was designed in accordance with the similar country experiments and with international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of Palestine.\n-Water: Sources, Quality, Availability of Domestic Wells\n-Solid Waste:  Disposal of Solid Waste, Quantity Produced Daily, and Components of Solid Waste\n-Wastewater:  Wastewater Disposal Methods,\n-Air pollution: Exposure to Noise, Exposure to Smells, Exposure to Dust, Exposure to Smoke.","coll_situation":"Field operations started on 16\/05\/2006 and lasted until 10\/07\/2006.

Finally, the weight was adjusted to compensate for incomplete cases that might occur during data collection.","cleaning_operations":"The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:\nEditing before data entry:  All questionnaires were edited again in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the fields.\nData entry:  In this stage data were entered into the computer, using CSPro program.  these program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as:\nDuplication of the questionnaire on the computer screen.\nLogical and consistency check of data entered.\nPossibility for internal editing of questions answers.\nMaintaining a minimum of digital data entry and field work errors.\nUser-Friendly handling.\nPossibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other statistical analytical systems such as SAS and SPSS."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"Response rate  86.3%","sampling_error_estimates":"Two types of errors affect the quality of survey data, sampling and non-sampling errors.  The sampling errors are measurable.  The non-sampling errors could not be determined easily, due to the diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editor, coders, data entry operator... etc).\nHowever, several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of these errors.
