Abstract
This survey presents data on various environmental households indicators in the Palestinian Territory, and presents statistical data on water consumption for the household sector by the water source, the methods of solid waste disposal and their main components, the disposal of wastewater, existence of cesspits and water wells. In addition to exposure to noise and air pollution by the source and time.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sample and Frame
The sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample.
Target Population:
All Palestinian households living in the Palestinian Territory during 2011.
Sample Frame:
The sampling frame is a master sample from the overall sample that was chosen from the general frame of the Population, Housing and Establishments Census 2007. It consists of a list of enumeration areas used as PSU's in the first stage of selection and the household frame was used in the enumerator areas to choose households in the second stage.
Sample Size:
The sample size is 3,336 Palestinian households in the Palestinian Territory, distributed according to the Labor Force Survey (LFS) sample.
Sample Design:
The sample of this survey is a sub-sample of that used for the Labor Force Survey (LFS). The sample for the Household Environmental Survey occupied six weeks of the third quarter of 2011 of the LFS.
Stratification:
In designing the sample for LFS, three levels of stratification were made:
1.Stratification by district.
2.Stratification by locality type, which comprises:
(a) Urban (b) Rural (c) Camps
3.Stratification by locality size (number of households in the locality).
Sampling Unit:
First stage sampling units were the enumeration areas in the master sample. The second stage sampling units were households.
Target Cluster Size:
The “target cluster size” or “sample-take” is around 16 households per PSU.
The sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample.
Target Population:
All Palestinian households living in the Palestinian Territory during 2011.

It consists of a list of enumeration areas used as PSU's in the first stage of selection and the household frame was used in the enumerator areas to choose households in the second stage.

(a) Urban (b) Rural (c) Camps
3.Stratification by locality size (number of households in the locality).

Target Cluster Size:
The “target cluster size” or “sample-take” is around 16 households per PSU.
Response Rate
None response rate = (Sum of none response cases/ Net sample) x 100%
= 5.6%
Response rate = 100% - none response rate
= 100% - 5.6% = 94.4%
= 5.6%
Response rate = 100% - none response rate
= 100% - 5.6% = 94.4%
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-2011. 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.

Data Processing
Data Editing
Data Processing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
1. Data editing before entry: data were edited and checked before entry.
2. Preparation of data entry program:
In this stage, data were entered into the computer using the Access program. This program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements, such as:
Duplication of the questionnaire on the computer screen.
Check on the logic and consistency of data entered.
Possibility for internal editing of answers.
User-friendly handling.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Sampling Errors:
These types of error evolved as a result of studying only a part of the population. As this survey was sample-based, the data will be affected by sampling errors due to using a sample and not the whole population frame. Therefore, differences appear compared with the actual values that could be obtained through census. For this survey, variance calculations were made for an average of household waste production, the method of disposal of wastewater, and the means of obtaining water.
