Series Information
Energy Consumption in Transport Survey 2014 was carried out for first time .
Abstract
Most countries collect official statistics on energy use due to its vital role in the infrastructure, economy and living standards.

In Palestine, additional attention is warranted for energy statistics due to a scarcity of natural resources, the high cost of energy and high population density. These factors demand comprehensive and high quality statistics.

In this contest PCBS decided to conduct a special Energy Consumption in Transport Survey to provide high quality data about energy consumption by type, expenditure on maintenance and insurance for vehicles, and questions on vehicles motor capacity and year of production.

The survey aimed to provide data on energy consumption by transport sector and also on the energy consumption by the type of vehicles and its motor capacity and year of production.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
Target Population:
All the operating vehicles in Palestine in 2014.

2.1Sample Frame
A list of the number of the operating vehicles in Palestine in 2014, they are broken down by governorates and vehicle types, this list was obtained from Ministry of transport.

2.2.1 Sample size
The sample size is 6,974 vehicles.

2.2.2 Sampling Design
it is stratified random sample, and in some of the small size strata the quota sample was used to cover them.

The method of reaching the vehicles sample was through :
1-reaching to all the dynamometers (the centers for testing the vehicles)
2-selecting a random sample of vehicles by type of vehicle, model, fuel type and engine capacity
Response Rate
80.7%
Weighting
The sampling weight for the vehicle is the mathematical inverse of the selection probability for that vehicle. But, weights were modified after data collection to account for the non-response rate Weight adjustment will be summarized by merging some strata sample design to become with higher levels after survey conducted.

Data Collection Notes
Field work activities started on 01/06/2015 and ended on 30/06/2015. This survey covered the year of 2014. Field workers were distributed to all governorates according to the sample size of each governorate. The field work team consisted of 35 members, including 21 interviewers, field work coordinators, supervisors, and editors.

During field work, 5,631 questionnaires were completed, with percentage around 81% from the main sample

Questionnaires

Questionnaires
The design of the questionnaire was based on the experiences of other similar countries in energy statistics subject to cover the most important indicators for energy statistics in transport sector, taking into account Palestine's particular situation.

Data Processing

Data Editing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
Editing and coding prior to data entry: all questionnaires were edited and coded in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field.

Data entry:
The survey questionnaire was uploaded on office computers. At this stage, data were entered into the computer using a data entry template developed in Access Database. The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements:
·To prevent the duplication of questionnaires during data entry.
·To apply checks on the integrity and consistency of entered data.
·To handle errors in a user friendly manner.
·The ability to transfer captured data to another format for data analysis using statistical analysis software such as SPSS.
Audit after data entered at this stage is data entered scrutiny by pulling the data entered file periodically and review the data and examination of abnormal values and check consistency between the different questions in the questionnaire, and if there are any errors in the data entered to be the withdrawal of the questionnaire and make sure this data and adjusted, even been getting the final data file that is the final extract data from it.
Extraction Results: The extract final results of the report by using the SPSS program, and then display the results through tables to Excel format.

Data Appraisal

Estimates of Sampling Error
Data of this survey may be affected by sampling errors due to use of a sample and not a complete enumeration. Therefore, certain differences are anticipated in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. The variance was calculated for the most important indicators: the variance table is attached with the final report. There is no problem in the dissemination of results at national and regional level (North, Middle, South of West Bank, Gaza Strip).
Data Appraisal
The survey sample consisted of around 6,974 vehicles, of which 5,631 vehicles completed the questionnaire, 3,652 vehicles from the West Bank and 1,979 vehicles in Gaza Strip.
