Each enumeration area consists of buildings and housing units comprising an average of 124 households.  These enumeration areas are used as primary sampling units (PSUs) in the first stage of the sampling selection. \n\nSample Size:\nThe estimated sample size is 7,820 households in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.\n\nTarget Population: \nThis consists of all Palestinian households who normally reside in the Palestinian Territory (West Bank and Gaza Strip) during 2011.\n\nSampling Design: \nThe sample for this survey is the same as that of the Labour Force Survey (LFS), which has been conducted quarterly by PCBS since 1995.  The Domestic and Outbound Tourism survey is attached with the LFS in the first quarter of 2011.  \n\nThe sample is a stratified cluster sample with two stages. In the first stage, we selected a systematic random sample of 502 enumeration areas for the whole round. In the second stage, we selected a random area sample of 16 households on average from each enumeration area selected in the first stage.\n\nSample Strata:\nThe population was divided by:\n1- Governorate (16 governorates)\n2- Type of Locality (urban, rural, refugee camp)","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The Domestic and Outbound Tourism Survey questionnaire was designed in accordance with similar country experience and with international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of the Palestinian Territory.\nand according previous questionnaries","coll_situation":"Training Fieldworkers \nFieldworkers were trained on basic skills before the start of data collection. The interviewers were trained on the Domestic and Outbound Tourism Survey by implementing the training course in Ramallah for the West Bank trainees, and in Gaza for Gaza Strip trainees. Instructions for filling the questionnaire were made available for the interviewers.  The training provided the participant with aims and definitions of the different indicators and expressions of the survey and how to fill in the questionnaire.","act_min":"Field work started on 03\/01\/2010 and lasted until 15\/04\/2010. Field work teams were distributed to all districts proportional to the sample size of each governorate. The field work team consisted of 24 members including one field work coordinator, 4 supervisors, 4 editors and 15 interviewers.","weight":"The weight of statistical units (sampling unit) in the sample is defined as the mathematical inverse of the selection probability where the sample of the survey is two stage stratified cluster sample, so In the first stage,  we calculate the weight of enumeration areas which  depending on  the probability of each enumeration area(a systematic random sample), then In the second stage we calculate weight of households  in each enumeration area, Initial households weights resulted from product of weight of first stage and weight of second stage ,final households weights obtained after adjustment of initial weights with the households estimates mid 2009 on the level of design strata (governorate, locality type ) .","cleaning_operations":"Duplication of the questionnaires on the computer screen. \nLogical and consistency check of data entered. \nPossibility for internal editing of question answers. \nMaintaining a minimum of digital data entry and fieldwork errors. \nUser friendly handling. \nPossibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other statistical analytic systems such as SPSS."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"Response rate %89.3\n\nSome of the households were not in their houses and the interviewers couldn't meet them. \nSome of the households did not show attention toward the questionnaire.  \nSome errors occurred due to the way the questions were asked by interviewers. \nMisunderstanding of the questions by the respondents. \nAnswering the questions related to consumption by estimations.","sampling_error_estimates":"Statistical Errors\nData of the Domestic and Outbound Tourism Survey was affected by statistical errors due to the use of the sample, therefore, certain differences emerge from the real values obtained through surveys. The variation had been calculated from the most important indicators and their use in the report. The dissemination levels of the data were particularized at the regional level in the West Bank (North, Middle, South) and the Gaza Strip, due to the sample design and the variance calculations for the different indicators. \n\n Non-Statistical  Errors\nNon-statistical errors are probable in all stages of the project, during data collection or processing. This is referred to as non-response errors, response errors, interviewing        errors, and data entry errors.  To avoid errors and reduce their effects, great efforts were made to train the fieldworkers intensively.  They were trained in how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid, carrying out a pilot survey and practical and theoretical training during the training course.\n\nAlso data entry staff was trained on the entry program that was examined before starting the data entry process.  Continuous contacts with the fieldwork team were maintained through regular visits to the field and regular meetings during the different field visits.  Problems faced by fieldworkers were discussed to clarify issues and provide relevant instructions."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"General Statistics Law \nNo. (5) for Year 2000\n\nArticle (17)\n\nAll 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. \nThe Bureau shall endeavor to","required":"yes","form_no":"","uri":""}],"contact":[{"name":"Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics","affiliation":"Palestinian National Authority","email":"diwan@pcbs.gov.ps","uri":"  http:\/\/www.pcbs.gov.ps"}],"cit_req":"Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, 2010.
