Thus, a healthy housing unit should provide adequate space, well-ventilated and exposed to sunlight for living and sleeping (rooms and bedrooms), for food preparation (a kitchen), with sanitary facilities, electricity and drinking water.\n\nThe housing unit constitutes a basic requirement for living for Palestinians in the Palestinian Territory (PT), and for this reason it is important to provide data on housing               conditions, housing unit characteristics, and housing density.\n\nHousing conditions, including the type of unit, tenure, housing density, and availability of durable goods, has an important effect on the living conditions of Palestinians, especially of women who spend most of their time at home.  In the Youth Survey 2003 conducted by PCBS, results indicated that 76.6% of youth spend their leisure time at home, of which  90.7% are females and 62.8% males.","time_periods":[{"start":"2003-01-01","end":"2003-12-31","cycle":""}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2003-12-01","end":"2003-12-31","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Palestine","abbreviation":"PSE"}],"geog_coverage":"Palestinian Territory","analysis_unit":"households","universe":"All Palestinians households living in West Bank and Gaza Strip","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"\u00b7\tType of housing unit.\n\u00b7\tTenure of housing unit.\n\u00b7\tYear of completing housing unit construction.\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, phone line\u2026etc).\n\u00b7\tAvailability of durable goods.\n\u00b7\tHousing Unit close to Public Service.\n\u00b7\tHouseholds need for housing units.\n\u00b7\tDamaged housing units during Intifadat Al-aqsa."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"PCBS","affiliation":"Palestinian National Authority "}],"sampling_procedure":"The sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample.\n\nSampling 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 227 enumeration areas. \n\nSecond stage: represented by the choice of a random uniform sample of households in each enumeration area, where 16 households was chosen in West Bank and Gaza Strip, also 21 households was chosen in each enumeration area of Jerusalem j1(those parts of Jerusalem which were annexed by Israel in 1967).\n\nStratification:\nTwo levels of stratification were made:\n1.\tStratification by Governorates.\n2.\tStratification by Locality Type which comprises: \n     (a) Urban\t                   (b) Rural                 (c) Refugee Camps \t \n\nSample Size:\nThe sample size consists of 3,735 households interviewed during December 2003.","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":"Fieldwork teams were distributed among all districts on the basis of sample size in each district.
