And relating to infrequency of data about this subject in the Palestinian Territory, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) builds up and develop a database about the environment in the household sector.\nThis survey is based on a household sample survey, which was conducted during the period from 25\/05\/2008 until 03\/07\/2008.  It provides basic statistics on various aspects of environment, including water, solid waste, wastewater, noise, and air pollution.  A special questionnaire was designed in accordance with United Nation standards and recommendations in the field of environment statistics adapted to the Palestinian conditions.  \nSurvey Aims\nThis survey presents data on various environmental households indicators in the Palestinian Territory, and presents statistical data on water consumption for the household sector by the water source, the methods of solid waste disposal and their main components, the disposal of wastewater, existence of cesspits and water wells. In addition to exposure to noise and air pollution by the source and time.","time_periods":[{"start":"2008-04-01","end":"2008-04-30","cycle":""}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2008-05-25","end":"2008-07-03","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Palestine","abbreviation":"PSE"}],"geog_coverage":"The Palestinian Territory","analysis_unit":"Households","universe":"All  Palestinians households living in the Palestinian Territory.","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The questionnaire covered the following items:\nSources of water supply in houses.\nHousehold solid waste disposal, its components, and its approximate quantity\nWastewater disposal and the existence and use of cesspits in houses\nAir pollution in the area of the house by smell, dust and smoke\nExposure to noise"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"PCBS","affiliation":"Palestinian National Authority "}],"sampling_procedure":"Sample and Frame\nThe sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample.\nTarget Population\nAll Palestinians households living in the Palestinian Territory.\nSample Frame\nSampling frame consists of master sample chosen from census 1997, which update in 2003 and this master sample comprises geographical areas closed in size (number of households) which is the enumeration areas used in census, such frame has been used as the Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) in the first stage of selection.\nSample Size\nThe sample size is 3,094 Palestinian households in the Palestinian Territory, where this sample has been distributed according to the Labor Force Sample Survey.\nSample Design\nThe sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample, which is a sub-sample of Labor Force Survey (LFS) sample, that is conducted every 13 weeks. The total sample of Household Energy Survey is about 3,094 households occupies six weeks of the second quarter 2008 of LFS.\nStratification\nIn designing the sample of LFS three levels of stratification have been made:\nStratification by District.\nStratification by the locality type which comprises: \nUrban\tRural        Camps \t \nStratification by locality size (no of households in the locality).\nSampling Unit\nFirst stage sampling units are the enumeration in the master sample.
