Sampling
The sampling frame consists of the master sample chosen from the 1997 census.
Sample Design:
The sample of this survey is part of the sample of the labor force survey (LFS), that is conducted every 13 weeks. The total sample of LFS is about 7,559 households distributed over 13 weeks. The sample of the households environmental survey occupies six weeks of the thirty round of the LFS. The sample was selected in two stages, the first stage represented by choosing a stratified uniform random sample consisted of 481 enumeration areas, while the second stage represented by the choice of a random uniform sample of households in each enumeration area, where 16 households was chosen in each one.
Stratification:
In designing the sample of LFS four levels of stratification have been made:
- Stratification by District.
- Stratification by the locality type which comprises:
(a)Urban
(b) Rural
(c) Camps - Stratification by households ownership of permanent commodities and means as it was mentioned in census 1997.
- Stratification by locality size (no of households in the locality).
Sampling Unit:
First stage sampling units are the enumeration in the master sample. The second stage sampling units are households.
Target Cluster Size:
The "target cluster size" or "sample-take" is around 16 households per PSU.
Sample Size:
The sample size is 3,148 Palestinian households in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where this sample has been distributed according to the locality type.
Sample and Frame:
The sample is a two-stage stratified cluster random sample.
Response rate 86.3%
Since the sampling weight is counteractive to the percentage sample from the frame, and as this ratio differs from the percentage sample for the population in the reference period, the weight was therefore adjusted to show the number of population in mid-2006. Finally, the weight was adjusted to compensate for incomplete cases that might occur during data collection.
Survey instrument
The environmental questionnaire was designed in accordance with the similar country experiments and with international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of Palestine.
-Water: Sources, Quality, Availability of Domestic Wells
-Solid Waste: Disposal of Solid Waste, Quantity Produced Daily, and Components of Solid Waste
-Wastewater: Wastewater Disposal Methods,
-Air pollution: Exposure to Noise, Exposure to Smells, Exposure to Dust, Exposure to Smoke.

Field work visits.
Field operations started on 16/05/2006 and lasted until 10/07/2006. Fieldwork teams were distributed to all districts proportional to the sample size in each district. The fieldwork team consists of 18 members including one fieldwork coordinator, (4) supervisors, (1) editors and 12 interviewers
Data processing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
Editing before data entry: All questionnaires were edited again in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the fields.
Data entry: In this stage data were entered into the computer, using CSPro program. these program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as:
Duplication of the questionnaire on the computer screen.
Logical and consistency check of data entered.
Possibility for internal editing of questions answers.
Maintaining a minimum of digital data entry and field work errors.
User-Friendly handling.
Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed using other statistical analytical systems such as SAS and SPSS.
Data appraisal
Two types of errors affect the quality of survey data, sampling and non-sampling errors. The sampling errors are measurable. The non-sampling errors could not be determined easily, due to the diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editor, coders, data entry operator... etc).
However, several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of these errors. The interviewers, editors and coders had undergone intensive training and were provided with fieldwork manuals to consult when facing any problem
