The main objective of the survey is to provide reliable data of environmental reality on the economic establishments in the Palestinian Territory, including the methods used to handle the solid waste and wastewater. It includes also the role of the local authority in providing the suitable environment that will reduce the negative effect of the different types of pollution on the economic sector. This report presents the main findings of the Environmental Economic Survey. It is one of a series of expected reports to be published by PCBS on the environment and natural resources in Palestine according to the plan for the Environment Statistical Department, as a tool for describing the status of environment in the Palestinian Territory. This report presents statistical data of water consumption in the economic establishments by water source, the methods of solid waste disposal and their main components, and the disposal of wastewater. Palestine West Bank and Gaza Strip Palestinian economic establishments All the Palestinian economic establishments, which included in the Economic Series Survey sample in the Palestinian Territory Sample survey data [ssd] Establishments: Economic Establishments palestinian central bureauof statistics The sample is a single-stage stratified cluster random sample. It was 3,458 Palestinian economic establishments distributed according to the economic activities and governorates The sampling frame was based on the Establishments' Census-2007 conducted by PCBS Face-to-face [f2f] The environmental questionnaire was designed according to international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of Palestine. Many visits for economical establishments were made in order to improve the survey tools and to test the questionnaire before implementing the survey; consequently some modifications were made on the questionnaire and on the instructions following the visits The concept of data quality consists of many aspects starting from the planning to the survey and on to the publishing method and data analysis. The main principles of statistical quality are accuracy, comparability, and data quality assurance procedures. Accuracy It includes many aspects of the survey, mainly statistical errors due to the sample, and also non statistical errors refers to the workers and survey tools, and includes also the response rates in this survey and their effect on the assumptions. This section includes: Several measures were made to ensure quality control in the survey, such as the training of the fieldworkers on main skills before the start of data collection, and conducting field visits to field researchers to ensure the integrity of data collection, in addition to conducting a re-interview for 5% of the establishments. Audit of questionnaires was carried out before data entry, and then a program was used that does not allow any mistakes during the process of data entry. Data was examined to ensure that they were free from errors not previously discovered. After the receipt of the raw data file, cleaning and inspection of the anomalous values was made, and also inspection of the consistency between the different questions on the questionnaire. Variance is change from a variable to another, it depends on: 1.The sample size 2.The actual variance for all the population units 3.the sample design The variance for a number of variables was calculated using CENVAR The variables that calculated are: 1.standard error 2.Coefficient of variance = standard error*100% / estimation 3.Effect of sample design 4.95% confidence interval The data processing stage contain of the following operations: Editing before data entry: all questionnaires were edited again in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the fields. Data entry: In this stage data were entered into the computer, using Access database. The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as: Duplication of the questionnaire on the computer screen. Logical and consistency check of data entered. Possibility for internal editing of questions answers. Maintaining a minimum of digital data entry and fieldwork errors. User-Friendly handling. Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other statistical analytical systems such as SAS and SPSS Interview result Frequency Percent, % Completed questionnaires2,891 83.6 Completely closed 125 3.6 Temporarily closed 24 0.7 Not found unit 25 0.7 Did not practice any activity during the reference period571.6 Refusal 1674.8 Repeated 120.3 Israeli ownership 20.1 Others 1554.5 Accuracy It includes many aspects of the survey, mainly statistical errors due to the sample, and also non statistical errors refers to the workers and survey tools, and includes also the response rates in this survey and their effect on the assumptions. This section includes: Sampling Errors These types of errors evolved as a result of studying a part of the society and not all of it, and because this survey is sample based, the data of this survey will be affected by sampling errors due to using a sample and not the whole frame of the society, and therefore differences appear compared with the actual values that could be obtained through a census. For this survey, variance calculations were made for amounts of water consumed in the economic establishments by region and activity, and the main source of obtaining water in the economic establishments by region and activity. Data compiled in the context of Environmental Economic Survey 2009 involves data about Palestinian Establishments. The confidentiality of such data is honored and safeguarded in accordance with Article (17) of the Palestinian General Statistical Law of 2000, which stipulates "All individual information and data submitted to the bureau for statistical purposes shall be treated as confidential and shall not be divulged, in whole or in part, to any individual or to a public or private body, or used for any purpose other than for preparing statistical tables".
