These enumeration areas are used as primary sampling units( PSUs) in the first stage of the sampling selection. \n\nSample Size:\nThe estimated sample size is 3,184 households.\n\nSample Design:\nThe sample of this survey is a part of the main sample of Labor Force Survey (LFS) which implemented periodically every quarter by PCBS since 1995, so this survey implement every quarter in the year (distributed over 13 weeks) , the survey attached with the LFS  in the third quarter of 2013, and the sample contain of 6 weeks from the eighth week to the thirteen week from the round 70 of labor force survey.\n\nThe sample is two stage stratified cluster sample:\nFirst stage: selection a stratified systematic  random sample of  206 enumeration areas for the semi round .\nSecond stage: selection a random area sample of average 16 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The environmental questionnaire was designed in accordance with similar international experiences and with international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of Palestine.","coll_situation":"Fieldworkers were trained on the main skills before the start of data collection.

At this stage, data was entered into the computer using a data entry template developed in Access. The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as:\n\u00b7\tTo prevent the duplication of the questionnaires during data entry.\n\u00b7\tTo apply integrity and consistency checks of entered data.\n\u00b7\tTo handle errors in user friendly manner.\n\u00b7\tThe ability to transfer captured data to another format for data analysis using statistical analysis software such as SPSS."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"Response rate   85.3%","sampling_error_estimates":"Data of this survey affected by sampling errors due to use of the sample and not a complete enumeration. Therefore, certain differences are expected in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. Variance were calculated for the most important indicators, the variance table is attached with the final report. There is no problem to disseminate results at the national level and regional level ( North , Middle ,South West Bank , Gaza Strip) and locality type level. \n \nThe implementation of the survey encountered non-response where the case ( household was not present at home ) during the fieldwork visit and the case ( housing unit is vacant) become the high percentage of the non response cases.  The total non-response rate reached 10% which is very low once compared to the household surveys conducted by PCBS, The refusal rate reached 3.3% which is very low percentage compared to the household surveys conducted by PCBS, and the reason is the short and clear questionnaire ."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"General Statistics Law\nNo. (5) for Year 2000\nArticle (17(\n1.
