The sampling frame consists of a list of enumeration areas used as PSU's in the first stage of selection, and the households frame was used to choose households in the second level. \n\nSampling Design\nThe sample of this survey is a sub-sample of the Labor Force Survey (LFS) sample, which is conducted periodically since September 1995. The sample of LFS is distributed over 13 weeks. The sample of the Household Energy Survey occupies six weeks of the first quarter of 2010 of the LFS.\n \nStratification:\nIn designing the sample of the 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 enumeration areas (clusters) from the master sample. In the second stage, the sampling units are households.\n\nAnalysis Unit:\nThe unit of analysis is the household.\n\nSample Size:\nThe sample size is comprised of (3,312) Palestinian households in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where this sample was distributed according to locality type (urban, rural and refugee camps).","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The design of the questionnaire for the Household Energy Survey was based on the experiences of similar countries as well as on international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of the Palestinian Territory.","act_min":"Fieldworkers were trained on the main skills relevant to the survey before the start of data collection.  Instructions for filling the questionnaire were made available for the interviewers. The training provided fieldworkers with aims and definitions of the different indicators of the survey.\nFieldworkers were distributed to all governorates proportional to the sample size of each governorate.  The fieldwork team consisted of 24 members, including one fieldwork coordinator, 4 supervisors, 4 editors and 15 interviewers.\nSeveral measures had been taken to ensure the efficiency of quality controls in the survey, such as: the training of fieldworkers on the main skills before the start of data collection, conducting field visits to fieldworkers to ensure the integrity of data collection, editing of questionnaires before data entry, using data entry application that does not allow any mistakes during the process of data entry, and then examining the data. This was done to ensure data is error free ; while cleaning and inspection of the anomalous values have been made to ensure harmony between the different questions on the questionnaire.","weight":"Since the sampling weight is inversely proportional with the percentage of the sample from the frame, and as this ratio is different from the percentage sample for the population in the reference period, the weight was adjusted to show the total population at the middle of 2010.  The weights were also adjusted to make the distribution of persons in the sample by region, sex, and age structure to become identical to the distribution in the census 2007. Finally, weights were adjusted to compensate for incomplete cases that occur during data collection.","cleaning_operations":"The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:\nEditing and coding before data entry: All questionnaires were edited and coded in the   office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field.\n\nData entry: 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\t The ability  to transfer captured data to another format for data analysis      \n       using statistical analysis software such as SPSS."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"During fieldwork 3,312 households were visited in the Palestinian Territory. 2,876 questionnaire were Completed in the Palestinian Territory.","sampling_error_estimates":"It includes many aspects of the survey, mainly statistical errors due to the sample, and non statistical errors referring to the workers and tools of the survey. It includes also the response rates in the 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 population and not all of it. Because this is a sampled survey , the data will be affected by sampling errors due to using a sample and not the whole frame of the population. 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\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 some parts depend partially on 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\nNone response rate =  Sum of none response cases   x 100%\n                                            Net sample\n\n                               =    48     x 100% = 1.45%\n                                   3.312 \n\nResponse rate  = 100% - none response rate\n                        = 100% - 1.45%   =   98.55%","data_appraisal":"The data of the Household Energy Survey is comparable geographically and over time by comparing the data between different geographical areas with the data of previous surveys and census 2007."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"General Statistics Law \nNo. (5) for Year 2000\nArticle (17(\n1.
