Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sampling frame for Jerusalem (J1 and J2) was based on the census implemented by PCBS in 2007 and consisting of enumeration areas. These enumeration areas were used as primary sampling units (PSUs) in the first stage of the sample selection.
The estimated sample size is 1,260 households responding in Jerusalem governorate.
Stratified cluster random sample with two-stages:
First stage: Selection of a systematic random sample of 42 enumeration areas (24 EAs in J1 and 18 EAs in J2).
Second stage: A sample of 30 responsive households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage.
Sample Strata
The population was divided by:
1-Region (Jerusalem J1, Jerusalem J2)
2-Locality type (Jerusalem J1: urban, camp; Jerusalem J2: urban, rural, camp).

Response Rate
during the field work we visit 1,820 family in Jerusalem Governorate, where the final results of the interviews were as follows:
The number of families who were interviewed (1,188) in Jerusalem Governorate, (715) in J1, (473) in J2.
The number of families who were interviewed (1,188) in Jerusalem Governorate, (715) in J1, (473) in J2.
Weighting
Known weight on it upside down the probability of selection of the element in the sample, can be explained by weight as the amount represented by the element in the sample of elements of society, has been calculated weights to take into account compensation for cases of non-completion that has been through the process of data collection, when calculating the weights of households to the survey were into account the distribution of households by region and type of locality in Jerusalem Governorate according to population estimates mid-2005, is divided into two levels I: Jerusalem Area J1 layers, including (Jerusalem, "Jerusalem holy place" and the rest of the urban and the camp in the area of J1). The second layers J2 Jerusalem area, including (urban, rural and camp in the area of J2).
As for individuals to calculate the weights have been taking into account the population distribution by region, sex and age structure estimated population in mid-2013, estimates from the reality of the Central Bureau of Statistics. It is essential when calculating estimates of indicators for the survey is calculated weights, so that each unit weight of analysis commensurate with the probability of selection of the unit.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Accuracy of the Data
Statistical Errors
Data of this survey can be affected by statistical errors due to use of a sample. Variance was calculated for the most important indicators and demonstrates the ability to disseminate results for Jerusalem governorate. However, dissemination of data by J1 and J2 area indicates values with a high variance
Non-Statistical Errors
It is possible for non-statistical errors to occur at all stages of project implementation or during the collection or entry of data. These errors can be summarized as non-response errors, response errors (respondent), corresponding errors (researcher) and data entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce their impact, strenuous efforts were made in the intensive training of researchers on how to conduct interviews, the procedures that must be followed during the interview and aspects that should be avoided. Practical exercises and theory were covered during the training session. Errors gradually decreased with the accumulation of experience by the field work team, which consisted of permanent and non-permanent researchers who conduct work on every PCBS survey.
In general, non-statistical errors were related to the nature of the Social Survey of Jerusalem and can be summarized as follows:
· Many households considered the specific details of the survey as interference in their private lives.
· Israeli impact on Palestine (curfew and closure).
· Some households thought the survey was related to social assistance or to taxes.
· Hesitation by households in the Jerusalem area to supply data because they were afraid of Israeli procedures against them if they participated in a Palestinian survey or activity.
Data Processing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
1. Editing and coding prior to data entry: All questionnaires were edited and coded in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field.
2. Data entry: At this stage, data were entered into the computer using a data entry template designed in Access. The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as:
· Duplication of the questionnaires on the computer screen.
· Logic and consistency check of data entered.
· Possibility for internal editing of question answers.
· Maintaining a minimum of digital data entry and field work errors.
· User-friendly handling.
· Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other statistical analytic systems such as SPSS.
Data entry began on April 17, 2013 and finished on July 14, 2013. Data cleaning and checking processes were initiated simultaneously with the data entry. Thorough data quality checks and consistency checks were carried out and SPSS for Windows version 10.0 was used to perform the final tabulation of results.
Possibility of Comparison
At this stage, comparison can be made for time series periods and other sources. Where the survey results were compared with the data in 2010. The data were compared with the final results of the Population, Housing and Establishments Census of 2007 for Jerusalem and the results were very consistent.
