Series Information
, PCBS implemented the first Household Culture Survey in 1996, and incorporated culture-relevant questions with the time-use survey 1999/2000. Additionally, PCBS implemented Mass Media Survey in year 2000, followed by the Computer, Internet and Mobile Phone Survey in 2004. In 2006, a Household Survey was carried out for the benefits of the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications.The Household Culture Survey aims to provide quantifiable indicators related to cultural activities and role of mass media in spreading the culture
Abstract
The Household Culture Survey aims to provide quantifiable indicators related to cultural
activities and role of mass media in spreading the culture; examples of such information
include:
1. Availability of a home library, type of library collection, the culture of reading "the
habit of reading and reading newspapers."
2. Tendency to listen to the radio or watching television and time spent by each person in
these activities, and the programs that are being watched or listened to.
3. Popularity to visit cultural institutions and the practice of individuals to cultural
activities.
4. Popularity of TV and broadcasting stations, and the sources of news and information,
and the main sources of entertainment and recreation.
5. Proliferation of newspapers and magazines and how to obtain them, and the sections
of the newspapers that have the largest number of readers.
6. Connection to the Internet.
7. The scope of using computers and the Internet; and the intended purpose of such
usage.
8. The scope of household monitoring to the type of television programs being watched
by children, and the number of hours being spent watching television.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Target population:
All Palestinian households and individuals whose usual place of residence in the Palestinian Territory with focus on persons aged 10 years and over in year 2009.
Sample frame
The sampling frame consists of 4917 enumeration areas adopted in the Population, Housing and Establishment census 2007. Each enumeration area has an average size of about 120-150
households. These were used in the first phase as Preliminary Sampling Units in the process of selecting the survey sample. In the second phase of sample selection, households sampling
frame from census- 2007 was used and it contains identification data such as the names and addresses of heads of household, in addition to buildings and housing unit numbers.
Sample size
The sample size of the survey was estimated to about 6,150 household.
Two levels of stratification were made:
Stratification by governorate (16 Governorate including J1)
Stratification locality type (urban, rural, camp)
Sample design
The sample is stratified clustered systematic random sample. The design is comprised of three
phases:
Phase I: Random sample of 246 enumeration areas
Phase II: Selection of (25) household from each enumeration area, selected in phase one, using systematic random manner
Phase III: Selection of a person (aged 10 years or more) in the field from the selected households; and KISH TABLES are used in the process of persons selection to ensure
indiscriminate selection.
Note: in Jerusalem Governorate (J1), 17 enumeration areas were selected; then in the second phase, a group of households from each enumeration area were chosen using census-2007
method of delineation and enumeration. This method was adopted to ensure household response is to the maximum to comply with the percentage of non-response as set in the
sample design.
Sample distribution
Distribution of the sample was stratified by governorate and type of locality to ensure that the size of the sampled households in each stratum fits with the actual number of households in that stratum as in the sampling frame.

sample design.
Sample distribution
Distribution of the sample was stratified by governorate and type of locality to ensure that the size of the sampled households in each stratum fits with the actual number of households in that stratum as in the sampling frame.
Response Rate
The sample size was 6,150 households distributed as 4,025 in the West Bank and 2,125 in the Gaza Strip. The total number of household whose data was collected in the survey amounted to 5,132 household including 3,300 in the West Bank, 405 households in Jerusalem (J1), and 1,427 household in the Gaza Strip. Weights were modified accordingly on the level of stratum design to compensate for refusal and non-response cases.
Weighting
First: Household weights
Preliminary household weight is calculated from stratum h by dividing number of households
in each stratum with the sample size of households within the stratum h, using the following
formula.
Where
:Household stratum symbol i by governorate and locality type
:Weight of household i in the stratum h
:Number of households in the strata h according to household estimates in the survey
reference year
:Household sample size in the stratum h
In the survey, one person aged 10 years and over was selected from the household, and this
person was selected randomly using KISH tables. This person was given a preliminary weight
equal to the preliminary household weight.
(preliminary) is calculated as the number of persons aged 10 years and over in the selected
household.
Second: person weights
Then preliminary weights for persons were adjusted taking into accounts population
projection to ensure results of the sample fit with the dissemination levels (region West Bank
and Gaza Strip Sex: Male and female; age group(10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39,
40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80 years and over). Weights were
adjusted as follows:
Addition of preliminary household weight to the data file
A new variable for adjusted persons weight is created in the persons data file by levels region:
(West Bank and Gaza Strip, Sex: Male and female; age group (10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29,
30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80 years and over).
Then total preliminary weights for persons are calculated according to adjustments groups.
Calculate distribution of population based on the adjusted projected population for the
survey’s reference year.
The adjustment factor fg is calculated according to adjustment groups by dividing the results
of step (1) with the results of step (2).
The weight for the person is then the preliminary weight for the person multiplied by the
adjustment factor for the corresponding group
Calculation of relative weights
The relative weight is calculated as the final weight for the person divided by the average
weight of final weights.
Preliminary household weight is calculated from stratum h by dividing number of households
in each stratum with the sample size of households within the stratum h, using the following
formula.
Where
:Household stratum symbol i by governorate and locality type
:Weight of household i in the stratum h
:Number of households in the strata h according to household estimates in the survey
reference year
:Household sample size in the stratum h
In the survey, one person aged 10 years and over was selected from the household, and this
person was selected randomly using KISH tables. This person was given a preliminary weight
equal to the preliminary household weight.
(preliminary) is calculated as the number of persons aged 10 years and over in the selected
household.
Second: person weights

projection to ensure results of the sample fit with the dissemination levels (region West Bank
and Gaza Strip Sex: Male and female; age group(10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39,
40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80 years and over). Weights were
adjusted as follows:
Addition of preliminary household weight to the data file
A new variable for adjusted persons weight is created in the persons data file by levels region:
(West Bank and Gaza Strip, Sex: Male and female; age group (10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29,
30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80 years and over).
Then total preliminary weights for persons are calculated according to adjustments groups.
Calculate distribution of population based on the adjusted projected population for the
survey’s reference year.
The adjustment factor fg is calculated according to adjustment groups by dividing the results
of step (1) with the results of step (2).
The weight for the person is then the preliminary weight for the person multiplied by the
adjustment factor for the corresponding group
Calculation of relative weights
The relative weight is calculated as the final weight for the person divided by the average
weight of final weights.
