Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The Governmental health care centers was comprehensive enumeration, where as the sample of the Non-governmental health care centers was a single-stage stratified cluster random sample.
Deviations from the Sample Design
PCBS fieldworker team was unable to obtain the survey data in the Gaza Strip from the field, but data for 2008 were estimated from a survey data for the years 2003-2006. For further data assessment methodology can be found the fourth chapter of this report.
Response Rate
None response rate = (Sum of none response cases / Net sample) x 100%
= (455/3,660) x 100% = 12%
Response rate = 100% - none response rate
= 100% - 12% = 88%
= (455/3,660) x 100% = 12%
Response rate = 100% - none response rate
= 100% - 12% = 88%
Weighting
The weight is used to substitue for the non-response cases.

Fieldwork
The fieldwork is necessary to obtain the required data from the primary source, and guarantee a good orthopedist for this stage is the main affair which works on in this stage.

The data which comes from administrative records source, involved apportioning the questionnaires to the respondents to be filled by themselves, during 20/03/2008 to 01/10/2008.
Concerning the data which comes from the sampling survey collected by fieldworkers during 20/04/2008 to 03/08/2008, this type of collection method must pass two stages:
1.Training fieldworkers on the main skills before the start of data collection.
2.Distribution of the team of fieldworkers into groups.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
These types of errors evolved as a result of studying a part of the society and not all of it, and because this survey is sample based, the data of this survey will be affected by sampling errors due to using a sample and not the whole frame of the society, and therefore differences appear compared with the actual values that could be obtained through a census. For this survey, variance calculations were made for amounts of water consumed in the economic establishments by region and activity, and the main source of obtaining water in the economic establishments by region and activity.
