Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The frame for all centers in the health care sector operated by governmental and non-governmental health care centers is updated annually by the PCBS through administrative records. The private health care sector was not covered in this report
Response Rate
100%
Weighting
It is necessary, when calculating the estimations of the survey indicators, to calculate the weights of the establishments. The weight of an establishment is the mathematical inverse of choosing it.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
The environmental questionnaire was designed in accordance with the similar country experiments and according to international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of Palestinian Territory.
To test the questionnaire we take the results of the last surveys that implemented by the PCBS in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005,2006 as a pretest; consequently some modifications were made on the questionnaire and on the instructions.

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 field
Data entry:
Then data was entered into the computer, using Microsoft Access. 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 answered.
Maintaining a minimum of digital data entry and fieldwork errors.
User-friendly handling.
Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other
analytical statistical systems such as SAS and SPSS.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
the survey is a whole count survey, no sampling errors
Data Appraisal
This type of errors results from non-sampling errors, and cannot be determined easily due to the diversity of sources (e.g., the interviewers, respondent, editor, data entry operator... etc).
However, several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of these errors. The interviewers, editors and coders had undergone intensive training and were provided with fieldwork manuals to consult when facing any problem.
The data entry program was designed in a way that allows error detection and correction. This applies particularly to logical errors that might not be discovered before data entry operations. A consistency check was also performed to assure accuracy after data entry.
These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation and (b) diversity of sources (e.g., the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator …etc).
The sources of these errors can be summarized in:
· Misunderstanding of the questions by the respondents.
· The difference in individual measurements in some issues such as the water consumption, quantity of produced solid waste from health care center, quantity of (separated and treatment) waste, in addition to questions concerning estimates sizes, distances and time periods.
