We select a systematic random sample from each enumeration area in the Census, and we select a 20% of the total households concluding all the individuals in the household Face-to-face [f2f] The census questionnaire for the buildings is divided into four parts: Part one: includes identification data, such as: governorate, locality name, locality code, booklet no. in locality, total booklets in locality, no. of completed pages in booklet, enumeration area. Part two: includes data for all buildings, such as: 1.Building Serial No. in the page 2.Building No. in Enumeration Area 3.Name of the Owner of the Building or Building Name and Address 4.Building Municipality No. 5.Type of Building 6.Type of Ownership 7.Material of External Walls 8.No. of Stories 9.Current Use of Building 10.Establishments Year 11.Total No. Houses in Building Part three: includes data for all Houses, such as: 1.No. of Houses in the Building 2.Current Use of Houses 3.The reason for Closed, Vacant and Deserted Houses Part four: includes data for all Houses used for habitation or work and habitation, such as: 1.Name of the Head of Household No. of Household Members Fieldwork Operations 1. Training Observers were trained in different offices in all the governorates in the Palestinian Territory by the managers and their assistants and supervisors, and had organized field visits to various training rooms in order to ensure that training was conducted according to the instructions. 2. Fieldwork Fieldwork was implemented at this stage in different operations by the supervisors and observers who were trained well in order to ensure the accuracy of the work. These operations are: 1.Enumeration areas were identified on the ground by the supervisors; special marking materials were used at all external borders of each enumeration area. 2.The buildings and houses were numbered on the ground by the observer, by putting a census count No. for each building and every house, and the data of buildings, houses and households was collected in the booklets. 3. Field Visits Field visits were arranged by trained personnel in order to monitor the field operations and to discover any deviations that occurred, in addition to identifying the extent of implications of instructions. Ensuring the accuracy of the work Identifing enumeration areas on the ground We will calculate the weights for the sample depending on the method of selection. Those weights should be used in the Estimation We will use the weights when we want to estimate the Mean , Ratio, Proportion and Total. We can do that when using the software package such as SPSS by activating the weight variable. Or we can multiply all the variables by the weight variable. Noting that the output estimates doesn't include the under coverage which calculated after the post-enumeration The data processing stage contain of the following operations: 1. Editing before Data Entry At this stage all booklets were edited in the office using the instructions previously prepared for checking to ensure consistent data. 2. Data Entry Program The data entry program was prepared and designed according to the census questionnaire. The program was prepared by using the Oracle database. 3.
