The total sample of Household Energy Survey is about 3,094 households occupies six weeks of the second quarter 2008 of LFS.\n \nStratification\nIn designing the sample of LFS, three levels of stratification were made:\nStratification by governorate.\nStratification by place of residence which comprises:\n      (a) Urban           (b) Rural        (c) Refugee camps\nStratification by locality size.\n\nSample Unit\nIn the first stage, the sampling units are the enumerator areas (clusters) in the master sample. In the second stage, the sampling units are households.\n\nAnalysis Unit\nAnalysis units are composed of households.\n\nSample Size\nThe sample size is of (3,094) Palestinian households in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where this sample has been distributed according to the locality in urban areas, in rural areas and in refugee camps.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The design of the questionnaire for the \nHousehold Energy Survey was based on \nthe experiences of similar countries as \nwell as on international standards and \nrecommendations for the most important \nindicators, taking into account the special \nsituation of the Palestinian Territory.","coll_situation":"Fieldworkers were trained on the main \nskills relevant to the survey before the \nstart of data collection.

This section includes:\n\n1.  Sampling Errors\nThese types of errors evolved as a result of studying a part of the society and not all of it, and because this survey is a sample based the data of this survey will be affected by sampling errors due to using a sample and not the whole frame of the society, and so differences appear compared with the actual values that could be obtained through census. For this survey, variance calculations were made for average household consumption and total consumption for the different types of energy in the Palestinian Territory.\n\nThe results of wood, charcoal and olive cake suffers from a high variance, a tension should be taken when dealing with the average household consumption of these types of fuel, keeping I mind that there is no problem in publishing the data among the geographical level (North of the West Bank, Middle of the West Bank, South of the West Bank and Gaza Strip), publishing data among the governorate level is not possible due to the high variance especially to the wood, Charcoal and olive cake.  \n \n2.  Non Sampling Errors\nThese 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 (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator \u2026etc). \n\nThe sources of these errors can be summarized in: \n1.Some of the households were not in their houses and the interviewers couldn't meet them.\n2.Some of the households didn't show attention toward the questionnaire.  \n3.Some errors occurred due to the way the questions were asked by interviewers.\n4.Misunderstood of the questions by the respondents.\n5.Answering the questions related to consumption by making estimations.\n\nIt is important to mention that a 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors, the re-interview shows the variance in estimation By interviewers for wood, charcoal and olive cake consumed when the interviewer is different between the one who answers for the main survey questionnaire and the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.","data_appraisal":"The data of the Household Energy \nSurvey is comparable geographically and \nover time by comparing the data between \ndifferent geographical areas with the data \nof previous surveys and census 2007."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"Article (17)\n1.
