It consists of a list of enumeration areas used as PSU's in the first stage of selection, and the household frame was used in the enumerator areas to choose households in the second level. The frame of the households has been updated in the enumerator areas for the new general sample at the end of year 2003. \n\nSampling Design\nThe sample of this survey is a sub-sample of the Labour Force Survey (LFS) sample, which is conducted every 13 weeks. The sample of LFS is distributed over 13 weeks. The sample of the Household Energy Survey occupies six weeks of the first quarter of 2009 of the LFS.\n \nSample allocation\nThe sample allocation was according to the number of households in the stratum using three levels which are District, Locality type (urban,rural,refufugee camps), and the locality population size(Number of households within locality). \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 (3,850) 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.

It includes also the response rates in this survey and their effect on the assumptions.  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. Because this survey is a sample, the data of this survey will be affected by sampling errors due to using a sample and not the whole frame of the society. Differences appear compared with the actual values that could be obtained through a 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. This problem should be taken into consideration when dealing with the average household consumption of these types of fuel, keeping in mind that there are no problems in publishing the data for the geographical level (North of the West Bank, Middle of the West Bank, South of the West Bank and Gaza Strip). However, publishing data for the governorate level is not possible due to the high variance, especially for wood, charcoal and olive cake.  \t\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 a type of estimation, (b) diversity of sources (e.g., the interviewers, respondents, editors, coders, data entry operator, etc).\n\nThe sources of these errors can be summarized as: \nSome of the households were not in their houses and the interviewers could not meet them.\nSome of the households did not give attention to the questionnaire.  \nSome errors occurred due to the way the questions were asked by interviewers.\nMisunderstanding of the questions by the respondents.\nAnswering the questions related to consumption by making estimations.\n\nIt is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and 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 when the interviewee 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":"General Statistics Law \nNo. (5) for Year 2000\nArticle (17(\n1.
