It should be hygiene, adequate for living purposes and provide privacy for its inhabitation.  Thus, a healthy housing unit would be the one that provides enough space for living, sleeping, and eating.  It should be ventilated, exposed to sunlight, and provide toilet facilities, electricity and drinking water installations.\n\nSince we realize that the housing unit should constitute a basic requirement of the living conditions for Palestinians, it is therefore important to provide data on housing conditions, housing unit characteristics, and housing density. \n\nThis report includes the main results of Housing Conditions Survey (HCS) in the (PT).

The HCS questionnaire included the main indicators about housing conditions.\n\nThis survey aims at providing general reliable data on housing conditions in the (PT), regional data for the West Bank, and Gaza Strip, and data by type of locality (urban, rural and refugee camps).  This survey is to be carried out once every three years.  \n\nThe survey provides data on the following indicators in order to achieve the abovementioned objectives:\n\u00b7\tArea of housing unit and person share of area of housing unit.\n\u00b7\tYear of completing housing unit construction\n\u00b7\tType of housing unit\n\u00b7\tTenure of housing unit.\n\u00b7\tNumber of rooms in the housing unit.\n\u00b7\tNumber of bedrooms in the housing unit.\n\u00b7\tHousing density.\n\u00b7\tAvailability of (water and electricity supplies, sewage network, telephone lines\u2026etc).\n\u00b7\tAvailability of durable goods."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"PCBS","affiliation":"Palestinian National Authority "}],"sampling_procedure":"Sampling Frame:\nThe sampling frame consisted of a master sample of enumeration areas (EAs) selected from the Population Housing and Establishment Census (PHC) 1997, the master sample consists of area units of relatively equal size (number of households), these units have been used as primary sampling units (PSUs).\n\nSample Design:\nThe sample chosen by two stages: \nFirst stage: represented by choosing a stratified uniform random sample consisted of 481 enumeration areas. \nSecond stage: represented by the choice of a random uniform sample of households in each enumeration area, where 16 households was chosen in each one.\n\nStratification:\n Four levels of stratification were made:\nStratification by Governorates.\nStratification by place of residence which comprises: \n     (a) Urban\t                   (b) Rural                 (c) Refugee Camps \t \nStratification by classifying localities, excluding governorate capitals, into three strata  based on the ownership of households within these localities of durable goods.\nStratification by size of locality (number of households).\n\nSampling Unit:\nFirst stage sampling units are the area units (EAs) in the master sample.  The second stage-sampling units are households.\n\nSample Size:\nThe sample size is 7,559 Palestinian households in West Bank and Gaza Strip.  But due to the Israely blockade on the (PT), the fieldworkers could not visit 231 households found in 19 enumeration area, field workers could visit 7,328 households.  For 6,438 households the result of visiting was completed.  This sample size was enough to ensure estimations about the main housing condition indicators.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The housing conditions questionnaire was designed in accordance with the similar country experience and with international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, in addition to utilization from census questionnaire 1997, and taking into account the special situation of Palestine.","coll_situation":"The preparation phase included recruiting and training of interviewers and supervisors.  The staffs in this project have participated in previous survey projects at PCBS, and are therefore highly qualified.\n\nThe West Bank was divided into three regions (North, Middle, South), each of which was supervised by one field supervisor.  Fieldwork was carried out by one fieldwork team, consisting of 2-3 interviewers.\n\nGaza Strip was also divided into three regions (North, Middle and South). Fieldwork activities were initiated in Gaza Strip by one fieldwork team, each of which consisting of a supervisor, an editor and 3 interviewers.\n\nCertain procedures were followed for quality control and efficient organization of fieldwork. Such procedures pertain for supervising work as well as receiving and delivering questionnaires, maps, sample lists in addition to other forms used for management and quality control.\n\nField operations started in the Palestinian Territory on 04\/11\/2000 till 11\/01\/2001. We would like to indicate here that the fieldwork was postponed for four weeks because of the Israeli comprehensive closure and aggression against the Palestinian people.  It was planned to carry out the fieldwork during the period 07\/10\/2000 - 04\/01\/2001, and this is the real period on which data were collected (Reference Period).\n\nFieldwork teams were distributed among all districts on the basis of sample size in each district.
