Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample of the Industrial Survey is a single-stage stratified random - systematic sample in which the enterprise constitutes the primary sampling unit (PSU). Three levels of strata were used to arrive at an efficient representative sample (i.e. economic activity, size of employment and geographical levels). The sample size for the Remaining West Bank and Gaza Strip amounted to (2899) enterprises out of the (13092) enterprises that comprise the survey frame of 2004, and 161 sample size for those parts of Jerusalem.

Weighting
The sampling weight of the enterprise 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 enterprises' selection from another one.

Supervision
General Notes:
· The Industrial survey were conducted despite obstacle fieldworkers were exposed to due to the prevailing condition in the Palestinian Territory due to the imposed Israeli measures and closures, the staff has hardly worked to overcome these obstacles and implemented the survey according to the planned program.
· The fieldworkers were provided by data from the financial records whenever it is available, in the case of unavailability of records, the fieldworkers asked for the most reliable estimates by the owners.
For insuring data quality, a series of measures were taken in to a account that support accuracy of data collection through the following:
· Selection of specialized fieldwork team of economic back ground, the team was trained theoretically and practically on the survey questionnaire.
· The main fieldwork team was selected according to the training course.
· Field work visits by both fieldwork and project management staff for monitoring and following up data collection process and progress of work, An average of two visits for each governorate, a bout 90% of completed questionnaires was reviewed and corrected if needed, comments and notes were directed to the team accordingly.
· Different levels of supervision and monitoring toke place a according to the following division:
o Fieldworkers
o Fieldworkers supervisors
o Fieldwork coordinator. (Each of them has responsibilities in monitoring )
· Project management receive a daily progress report about completeness and response.
· Conducting a refreshment training course during the stage of data collection for emphasizing the main issues of training and answering questions of fieldworkers about issues faced them in the field.

Data Collection Notes
Data Collecting
Questionnaire Test:
Doing a primitive pretest during two days to make a technical study of the questionnaire, study the rejection and the data quality.
Workers Selection and Training:
The interviewers in the fieldwork are selected from the experienced ones in the statistical work and they are also trained theoretically and practically.
Fieldwork operations:
They are initiated after the recruitment and training of qualified interviewers. The PCBS's Fieldwork Directorate administers fieldwork activities including interviewing activities.
Data Gathering Method:
Data are gathered by using an interview with the enterprise owner or general manager by applying the survey questionnaire.
Fieldwork Editing:
The interviewer and supervisor firstly edit technically the questionnaire according to editing rules.
Office Editing:
The office editor also edits the questionnaire in order to be ready to be sent to coding and data entry.
Coding:
After the editor finishes editing the questionnaire, a coding are used according to (ISIC - 3), then the questionnaire is transferred to data entry.

6. Enterprises assets.
Data Processing
Data Editing
For insuring quality and consistency of data a set of measures were taken in to account for strengthening accuracy of data as follows:
· 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.
· Efficiency of the program was checked through pre-testing in entering few questionnaires, including incorrect information for checking its efficiency, in capturing these information.
· Well trained data keyers were selected and trained for the main data entry.
· Weekly or by weekly data files were received by project management for checking accuracy and consistency, notes of correction are provided for data entry management for correction.
· 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.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Statistical Errors:
The findings of the survey are affected by statistical errors due to using sampling in conducting the survey for the units of the target population, which increases the chances of having variances from the actual values we expect to obtain from the data had we conducted the survey using comprehensive enumeration.. The variance of the key goods in the survey was computed and dissemination was carried out on the level of the Palestinian Territory for reasons related to sample design and computation of the variance of the different indicators.
Non-Statistical Errors
These types of errors could appear on one or all the survey stages that include data collection and data entry:
Response rate values:
Sample size was 2899 institution in the Palestinian Territory.
· Non-response ratio is (7.5%.)
· Over coverage ratio is (9.5%.)
· The Response ratio is (92.6%).
Response errors: these types of errors are related to, responders, fieldworkers, and data entry personnel's. And to avoid mistakes and reduce the impact has been a series of actions that would enhance the accuracy of the data through a process of data collection from the field and the data processing.
