Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The sample is a one-stage stratified simple random sample due to:
1 - An updated framework.
2 - Strata depend on the type of holdings.
3 - Strata depend on the size of holdings.
4 - Deal directly with the holdings.
Response Rate
93.3%
Weighting
Weight is known as an inverted probability of selection of the element in the sample weight and can be interpreted as how much the element represented in the sample of elements of society. The weights are adjusted for cases of non-response through the process of data collection.

Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Supervision
Special follow-up forms were designed for the submission and receipt of questionnaires for all levels, as well as the daily accomplishments of the interviewers. Supervisors had the task of allocating work to the teams using the map and the sample list. They provided daily reports to the field work coordinator clarifying the interviews completed, cases of refusal, non-applicable cases and other interview results. The report was then sent to the project manager. In addition, technicians and field work coordinators conducted visits to monitor field work, ensure the quality of data and to assist in solving any problems faced by the field work team.
Data Collection Notes
PCBS prepared a plan to execute the field work of the main survey in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This plan included formulation of the field work team, the field work tools (questionnaires, maps, sample lists), and the distribution of field workers to different governorates. In total, there were 59 field workers, eight supervisors, two editors and three field work coordinators in West Bank governorates, plus seven field workers, two supervisors, two editors and a field work coordinator in governorates in Gaza Strip. The field work for the survey lasted from 23 January to 31 March 2012.

Questionnaires

Questionnaires
The agricultural statistics questionnaire was designed based on the recommendations of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the questionnaire used for the Agricultural Census of 2010. The special situation of the Palestinian Territory was taken into account, in addition to the specific requirements of the technical phase of field work and of data processing and analysis.

Data Processing

Data Editing
This phase included the following operations:
- Preparation of Data Entry Program.
The data entry program was prepared using ACCESS software and data entry screens were designed. Rules of data entry were established to guarantee successful entry of questionnaires and queries checked data after each entry. These queries examined variables on the questionnaire.
- Data Entry
Having designed the data entry program and tested it to verify readiness, and after training staff on data entry programs, data entry began on 12 February 2012 and finished on 20 May 2012 with 12 staff engaged in the data entry process.
- Editing of Entered Data
Special rules were formulated for editing the stored data to guarantee reliability and ensure accurate and clean data.

Data Appraisal

Estimates of Sampling Error
Survey data may be affected by statistical errors due to the use of the sample. Therefore, certain differences may emerge from the true values anticipated through censuses. The variation of the most important indicators was calculated and dissemination levels of the data were particularized at governorate level in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, according to the sample design and the variance calculations for the different indicators.
