Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sampling Frame
In the West Bank, all public vehicles that arrived at the licensing departments of the Ministry of Transport during the period 1/11/2017 to 29/3/2018 were obtained. A frame of lines and number of vehicles was obtained by the Ministry of Transport for 2017, The frame has been used in the weighing of public vehicles.
Updating a frame of lines and number of vehicles in Gaza Strip in 2016.
A frame on Jerusalem (J1) was updated through the conducted listing before collecting the data.
Sample Design
In the West Bank there was total enumeration for all vehicles that reached the licensing departments of the Ministry of Transport within the period 1/11/2017 to 29/03/2018.
In Gaza Strip and Jerusalem (J1) the sample used in the survey is a random stratified sample. The sampling mechanism was as follows:
1. The sample includes all Vehicle Permit included in the frame.
2. A comprehensive listing of vehicles in small Permit (Permit where the number of vehicles is less than or equal to 3).
3. A comprehensive listing of vehicles in Permit where the number of vehicles is 2 or less according to the designed strata of the large Vehicle Permit.
4. Two vehicles from the large Permit shall be chosen, in which the number of vehicles shall be 3-29 according to the designed strata.
5. Large strata, where Permit is with 30 vehicles and more, the sample size of each strata is calculated to be proportional to the size of the stratum.
Sample Strata
Vehicles were divided to clusters on the following levels:
1. Geographical classification: vehicles were classified into 16 governorates.
2. Type of transport: vehicles were divided according to their activity.
3. Vehicles model: vehicles were divided according to their model.

Response Rate
The Response ratio is (98.5%)
Weighting
The sampling weight of the vehicle is the mathematical inverse of the possibility selection of that vehicle; still, this weight was adjusted after the data collection to ensure taking into account the nonresponse rates, adjusting the weights by creating strata after conducting the survey by governorate, vehicle type and vehicle's year of production

Data Collection Mode
Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]
Supervision
Field visits were conducted by survey's management team to ensure data collection was carried out according to standards
Data Collection Notes
Data were collected by trained fieldworkers and traffic controllers from Ministry of Transport through personal interviews with the owners and the drivers of the selected vehicles by entering data through Tablets in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. However, paper questionnaires were used in Jerusalem (J1).
Field Editing and Supervising
The fieldworkers team consist of fieldworkers, field work supervisors, and field work coordinator. Each group of five fieldworkers have one supervisor.
Office Editing and Coding
The filled questionnaires are subject to editing where the inaccurate questionnaires resent to the field again to correct the mistakes and to complete the missing parts.
After finishing editing process, the completed questionnaires are subject to coding process to be prepared to the data entry process, while the questioners that were entered by using tablets PC-Tablet don't need to be encoded, since the sample is uploaded on the tablets and the audit regulations are applied.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Sampling Errors
Data of this survey affected by statistical errors due to use of a sample, therefore, there are certain differences from the real values expected to be obtained through censuses. Variations were calculated for the most important indicators and included in the report. Dissemination levels of the data were particularized at the regional level in Palestine.
Non- Sampling Errors
These types of errors could appear on one or on all of the survey stages that include data collection and data entry, And it related to, responders, fieldworkers, and data entry personnel. To avoid mistakes and reduce the impact, there had been a series of procedures that would enhance the accuracy of the data through a process of data collection from the field and data processing.
