Covering informal economic activity with a statistical survey is not an easy task. One challenge was the preparation of a convenient sampling frame. Such challenges should be taken into account when studying results of the survey. v0.1: Basic raw data, obtained from data entry (before editing). Informal Transport economic conditions and indicators [1.2] There is increasing concern in national statistical offices about coverage of informal economic activities. PCBS has given priority to transport activities, due to their importance to the Palestinian economy. The informal transport survey complements the 2007 formal transport sector survey. The PCBS began by exerting tremendous effort to establish a sampling frame. All land transport stops in major Palestinian cities were defined and data about the number and characteristics of operating vehicles were collected in order to stratify the population into homogenous stratum. The survey covers activities of the informal sector according to (ISIC-3) for both: Non-scheduled passenger land transport (6022) Freight transport by road (6023) Objectives: Objectives of this survey are the following. 1. Number of transport vehicles and persons engaged by activity. 2. Value of output and intermediate consumption 3. Value added components. 4. Fixed assets. 5. Other selected variables. Palestine Palestinian Territory vehicles Coverage: The survey covers activities of the informal sector according to (ISIC-3) for both: Non-scheduled passenger land transport (6022) Freight transport by road (6023) Vehicles:divided according to its activity to: ·Taxi passengers. ·Privet passengers. ·Freight transport by road. Sample survey data [ssd] Objectives: Objectives of this survey are the following: 1. Number of transport vehicles and persons engaged by activity. 2. Value of output and intermediate consumption. 3. Value added components. 4. Fixed assets and other selected variables. Statistical unit: The statistical unit, which exercises economic activity here, is the vehicle. Main Economic Activity: It is operation or a group of operations, which output a group of goods and services, and contribute for the main gross value added in the establishment.

Where the frame amounted to (10087) vehicles. Sample Design: The design used is a random cluster stratified sample: Quota sample proportional to the size of the station. The sample size amounted to (1668) vehicles of the total (10087) vehicles that comprise the survey frame. Sample Clusters: Barking divided to clusters on the following levels: 1. Transport kind: Vehicles divided according to its activity to: ·Taxi passengers. ·Privet passengers. ·Freight transport by road. 2. Vehicles model: Vehicles divided according to its model to: ·Model 95 below. ·Model 96 up Face-to-face [f2f] The questionnaire of the transport survey- informal sector was designed to take into account major economic variables pertaining to the examined phenomenon and it meets the needs of the Palestinian National Accounts. Which contains the following questions: ·Questions about vehicle. ·Persons engaged and their compensations. ·Value of output from main activity. ·Intermediate consumption. ·Indirect taxes. ·Fixed assets. Data Collection Method Fieldworkers collect data through personal interviews with the owners or the managers of the selected economic establishments. Fieldwork editing Fieldworkers and supervisors make an initial formally and technically editing depends on prepared editing rules. Office Editing The filled questionnaires are subjected to editing where the inaccurate questionnaires resend to the fieldwork again to correct the mistakes and to complete the missing parts. Coding After finish editing process the completed questionnaires subject to coding process to be prepared to the data entry process. This section presents technical notes concerning the statistical quality of the collected data, which should be taken into consideration as follows: Selection and Training of Field workers Field workers are subjected to personal interviews and undergo certain practical and theoretical training to provide them with the key components and the definitions of the questionnaire. The best trainees who pass the theoretical and practical training chosen to collect data. Fieldwork Management and Organization Fieldwork directorate supervises data collection and coordinate to the fieldworkers to perform the set plans for each survey. The fieldwork staff constitute of coordinators, supervisors in addition to the editing staff. Implementing this mission requires the existence of district offices close to working areas to be used as centers for fieldwork staff and fieldwork tools. The sampling weight of the vehicle is the mathematical turned of the possibility selection of that enterprise. It is necessary to use weights in the estimation of the survey society because of the differentiation in the possibility of vehicles' selection from another one. Data Processing Office Editing: The office editor also edits the questionnaire in order to be ready to be sent to coding and data entry. Coding: After the editor finishes editing the questionnaire, a coding are used according to (ISIC - 3), then the questionnaire is transferred to data entry. Data Entry Training: The data entry training begins before the data entry process, the training is of tow parts theoretically and practically. Data Entry Administrative: The Information System Directorate administrates the whole process with all its requirements. The data entry team is of data entry employees and a supervisor. Editing of Data Entry: There are tow steps: First: throughout the data entry itself since the program itself is available to correct mistakes in data entry. Second: Listing of questionnaires which are still have mistakes in data entry. Data Tabulation: A primary tables are exerted after the process of data entry and editing. A process of editing data is being taken to have at the end a final correct data tables. The Response ratio is (95.5%) Difference in Estimations It is necessary to associate with an estimated statistical number by a sampling survey another one which refers to the existing accuracy in the estimation. CENVAR program is used for estimation. The following measures are used for the main economic indicators: 1.Standard Error. 2.Coefficient of Variation. 3.DEFF. 4.95% Confidence Interval.
