PCBS is pleased to issue the twenty volume of the Transport Survey-Outside Establishment Sector 2015, this report will provide national governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, and research institutions in Palestine with the necessary statistical figures required for planning and development in Palestine.
Abstract
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 2015 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-4) for both:
Non-scheduled passenger land transport (4922)
Freight transport by road (4923)
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.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
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 (2,702) vehicles of the total (10,848) 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 2006 below.
- Model 2007 up

Response Rate
The Response ratio is (93.4%)
Weighting
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 one another .

Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Supervision
Field visits were conducted by survey's management team to ensure data collection was carried out according to standards
Data Collection Notes
Data Collection Method
Fieldworkers collect data through personal interviews with the owners or the managers of the selected vehicles.. except for the West Bank, since the field worker was trained to enter the data directly to the PC-Tablet.
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.

Data Processing
Data Editing
Data Entry Training:
The data entry training begins before the data entry process, the training is of two 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:
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.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Sampling Errors
Data of this survey affected by statistical errors due to use the sample, Therefore, the emergence of certain differences from the real values expect obtained through censuses. It had been calculated variation of the most important indicators exists and the facility with the report. And the dissemination levels of the data were particularized at the regional level in the Palestinian Territories.
Non- Sampling Errors
Non-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, interview in 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.
Also data entry staff was trained on the entry program that was examined before starting the data entry process, preparing data entry program before data collection for checking readiness of the program for data entry, a set of validation rules were applied on the program for checking consistency of data, weekly data files were received by project management for checking accuracy and consistency, notes of correction are provided for data entry management for correction. To have a fair idea about the situation and to limit obstacles, there was continuous contact with the fieldwork team through regular visits to the field and regular meetings with them during the different field visits. Problems faced by fieldworkers were discussed to clarify any issues.
