The sample is two stage stratified cluster sample with two stages, first stage we selected a systematic random sample of 211 enumeration areas for the semi round, then in the second stage we select a random area sample of average 16 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage.\n \n\nSampling Design:\nThe sample of this survey is a sub-sample of the Labor Force Survey (LFS) sample, which has been conducted periodically since September 1995. The sample of LFS is distributed over 13 weeks. The sample of the survey occupies six weeks of the first quarter of 2011 within implementing LFS.\n \nStratification by number of households:\nIn designing the sample of the LFS, three levels of stratification by number of households were made:\nStratification by number of households:\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\n\nSample Size:\nThe sample size is comprised of (3,313) 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 \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\nSampling 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 to 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 gasoline, wood, charcoal and olive cake suffer 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 at the geographical level (North of the West Bank, Middle  of the West Bank, South of the West Bank and Gaza Strip). However, publishing data at the governorate level is not possible due to the high variance, especially for wood, charcoal and olive cake.

In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself, where 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 questions in 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.","data_appraisal":"The data of the survey is comparable geographically and over time by comparing the data between different geographical areas to   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.
