Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sampling frame consists of master sample chosen from census 1997, and this master sample comprises geographical areas closed in size (number of households) which is the enumeration areas used in census, such frame has been used as the Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) in the first stage of selection.
Sample Design:
The sample of this survey is part of the sample of the labor force survey (LFS), that is conducted every 13 weeks. The total sample of LFS is about 7,559 households distributed over 13 weeks. The sample of the households environmental survey occupies six weeks of the thirty round of the LFS. The sample chosen by two stages, the first stage represented by choosing a stratified uniform random sample consisted of 481 enumeration areas, while the second stage represented by the choice of a random uniform sample of households in each enumeration area, where 16 households was chosen in each one.
Stratification:
In designing the sample of LFS four levels of stratification have been made:
1. Stratification by District.
2. Stratification by the locality type which comprises:
(a)Urban (b) Rural (c) Camps
Stratification by households ownership of permanent commodities and means as it

Response Rate
Response rate 80%
Weighting
Since the sampling weight is counteractive to the percentage sample from the frame, and as this ratio differs from the percentage sample for the population in the reference period, the weight was therefore adjusted to show the number of population in mid-2005. The weight was also adjusted to make the distribution of people in the sample by region, type, and age identical to this distribution in the 2007 census. Finally, the weight was adjusted to compensate for incomplete cases that might occur during data collection.

Questionnaires
The environmental questionnaire was designed in accordance with the similar country experiments and with international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of Palestine.
Data Processing
Data Editing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
Editing before data entry: All questionnaires were edited again in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the fields.
Data entry: In this stage data were entered into the computer, using Access database. The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as:
Duplication of the questionnaire on the computer screen.
Logical and consistency check of data entered.
Possibility for internal editing of questions 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 analytical systems such as SAS and SPSS.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Two types of errors affect the quality of survey data, sampling and non-sampling errors. The sampling errors are measurable. The non-sampling errors could not be determined easily, due to the diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editor, coders, data entry operator... etc).
