Cover sheet: It contains detailed and particulars of the family, date of visit, particular of the field/office work team, number/sex of the family members.
Statement of the family members: Contains social, economic and demographic particulars of the selected family.
Statement of the long-lasting commodities and income generation activities:
Includes a number of basic and indispensable items (i.e., Livestock, or agricultural lands).
Housing Characteristics: Includes information and data pertaining to the housing conditions, including type of house, number of rooms, ownership, rent, water, electricity supply, connection to the sewer system, source of cooking and heating fuel, and remoteness/proximity of the house to education and health facilities.
Monthly and Annual Income: Data pertaining to the income of the family is collected from different sources at the end of the registration / recording period.
Assistance and poverty: includes questions about household conditions and assistances that got through the the past month.
Second section:
The second section of the questionnaire includes a list of 55 consumption and expenditure groups itemized and serially numbered according to its importance to the family. Each of these groups contains important commodities. The number of commodities items in each for all groups stood at 667 commodities and services items. Groups 1-21 include food, drink, and cigarettes. Group 22 includes homemade commodities. Groups 23-45 include all items except for food, drink and cigarettes.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
In the absence of a population census since 1967, the major task, with regard to constructing a master sample, was developing a frame of suitable units covering the whole country. Such units have been used as the PSUs (Primary Sampling Units) in the first stage of selection. For the second stage of selection, all PSUs have been listed in the field at the household level. This provided a sampling frame for selecting the households.
Sample Design
Stratification
Four levels of stratification have been made:
Stratification by District.
Stratification by place of residence which comprises:
(a) Municipalities (b) Villages (c) Refugee Camps
Stratification by locality size.
Stratification by cell identification in that order.
Sample Size
The sample size is about 4,893 households allowing for non-response and related losses.
Target cluster size
The next important issue in sample design is the target cluster size or “sample-take,” the number of households to be selected per PSU on the average. In this survey, the sample take is around 10 households.
Self-weighting design:
At the first stage, clusters or “cells” have been selected with PPS probability proportional to estimated measure of size (Mi) for unit (I):
Where the summation covers all clusters in the population; a-300 is the total number of selected clusters. It is highly desirable for the PECS to have a constant overall sampling rate (f), i.e. to have a self- weighting sample. This requires the second stage probability for the selection of households and persons within any sample cluster i to be as follows:
Where b is a constant (independent of i) to be determined to obtain the required sample size, n =3,000 households. Since the measure of size are likely to differ from the actual number of households listed in any cluster i, the actual number of households selected with the above shall vary from one cluster to another and are presented as:
Adding all clusters in the sample results in the required constant b, to achieve the target sample size n as:
Hence to control the overall sample size, b is determined after completing the listing in all sample areas.
The above procedure allows for variation in sample sizes bi at the level of individual clusters, in order to provide a self-weighting sample. Households within each sample cluster shall be selected systematically from the lists prepared for that purpose, using the sampling interval,
Where:
A Number of cells in the sample (equals 480)
Number of housing units in cell I
Number of listed of households in cell i
N Proposed sample size (n= 4,893 HHs)
B Average sample take
Sample take in cell I
F Sample rate
First-stage sampling rate
Second-stage sampling rate
Which is fixed for each cluster but varies between clusters depending on the measure of size () with which the area was selected at the first stage.
The sample-take must be allowed to vary depending on the actual number of households found after listing. However, provision must be made to avoid extreme variation in cluster sample size. This could be done by using the above procedure to compute the ratio for each cluster in the sample. If this ratio lies outside the range say 0.5 - 4.0, adjust , i.e. the interval to be applied for the selection of households in the cluster, so as to keep the ratio within the above range.
Sample Rotation
The total (480) cells have been divided into (24) groups (subsided sample), each one is constituted from (20) cells. The total (480) cells have been used around the year by using a monthly sample constituted from two minor ones (40 cells). The survey includes independent cells and not cross section ones, each of these is formed from (400) households for each month (round).

Weighting
The sample is self-weighting by design. To estimate a given total Y for a given sub-population A, we introduce the following formula:
But since W is constant for all j within i, then: the estimating formula becomes:
Where,
U
YA = Estimated total for variable Y in sub-population A
h = The sub-stratum within the estimation domain
i = The sample PSU (cell)
j = The unit of analysis or element
A = Subset of elements possessing a given attribute, that is, belonging to a given sub- population A
= Observed value of variable “y” for j-the element of i-the sample PSU in stratum h
= Final (adjusted) sampling weight for the element
is the unweighted PSU total within h for sub-population A
The estimator for a given ratio for sub-population A is the following:
(2)
Where:
U
RA =Estimate for the ratio of two variables, Y/X, in sub-population A
U
XA = Estimated total for variable X in sub-population A, given by formula (1)B
U
YA = Estimated total for variable Y in sub-population A, also given by formula (1)B
Means and proportions are special types of ratios. In the case of the mean, the variable X, in the denominator of the ratio, is defined to equal 1 for each element, so that denominator is the sum of weights in the sub-population.
In the case of the proportion, the variable X in the denominator is also defined to equal 1 for all elements. In addition, the variable Y in the numerator is binomial and is defined to equal either 0 or 1, depending on the absence or presence of a specified attribute in the element observed.
But since W is constant for all j within i, then: the estimating formula becomes:
Where,
U
YA = Estimated total for variable Y in sub-population A
h = The sub-stratum within the estimation domain
i = The sample PSU (cell)
j = The unit of analysis or element
A = Subset of elements possessing a given attribute, that is, belonging to a given sub- population A
= Observed value of variable “y” for j-the element of i-the sample PSU in stratum h
= Final (adjusted) sampling weight for the element
is the unweighted PSU total within h for sub-population A
The estimator for a given ratio for sub-population A is the following:

Data Collection Notes
Four teams of female interviewers, three in the West Bank and one in the Gaza Strip carried out data collection. Each team consisted of a supervisor, and 10-20 female interviewers.
All field staff received a training session combining general theoretical and practical components. Interviewers, supervisors and editors for the survey were selected from those who worked on the previous rounds of PECS Surveys. Fieldwork procedures and organization were designed to ensure adequate supervision and the collection of high quality data. To this end, several quality control measures were used throughout fieldwork. An interviewer undertook between 120 and 150 household visits in a month. The households were asked to keep daily records in a diary during their recording month. The interviewer transferred the records in a questionnaire on a weekly basis. Data on durable goods were captured by the recall method for the last 12 months (rounds), in order to avoid large variance in estimates when the one-month approach is used.

Monthly and Annual Income: Data pertaining to the income of the family is collected from different sources at the end of the registration / recording period.
Assistance and poverty: includes questions about household conditions and assistances that got through the the past month.
Second section:
The second section of the questionnaire includes a list of 55 consumption and expenditure groups itemized and serially numbered according to its importance to the family. Each of these groups contains important commodities. The number of commodities items in each for all groups stood at 667 commodities and services items. Groups 1-21 include food, drink, and cigarettes. Group 22 includes homemade commodities. Groups 23-45 include all items except for food, drink and cigarettes. Groups 50-55 include all of the long-lasting commodities. Data on each of these groups was collected over different intervals of time so as to reflect expenditure over a period of one full year, except the cars group the data of which was collected for three previous years.
These data was abotained from the recording book which is covered a period of month for each household.
