Questionnaires
Questionnaires
The survey questionnaire was the main tool for gathering information, so it must conform to the technical specifications of the field work phase, and should meet the requirements of data processing and analysis The questionnaire was designed after considering the methodologies and the recommendations of the United Nations on tourism statistics and taking into account the specificities of the Palestinian community in this aspect
Data Processing
Data Editing
The data processing stage consisted of the following steps editing and coding before data entry All questionnaires were edited and coded in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Statistical errors
These are errors resulting from a study (sample) of the society and not all units of society This survey was implemented on the basis of the sample and therefore data errors could affect the survey results due to the use of a statistical sample rather than a comprehensive inventory of units in the community study and certainly the emergence of differences The values that we expect to be real are obtained through censuses. Calculations can have differences in the related variables
Non-statistical errors
The data collection process is characterized by privacy as a result of the nature of the subject, so that the questioning process is subject to greater potential for errors This is because the answers to many questions are subjective and depends on the assessment of the person and is therefore affected by the researcher's degree of awareness during the questioning and other circumstances
