Series Information
PCBS implemented the household energy survey 2003. This survey collected data on household energy indicators (electricity, petroleum fuel) in the household activities (cooking, water heating, lighting, and conditioning). Data collection took place during the period 18/02/2003 - 09/04/2003.
Abstract
Because of the importance of the household sector and due to it's large contribution to energy consumption in the Palestinian Territory, PCBS decided to conduct a special household energy survey to cover energy indicators in the household sector. To achieve this, a questionnaire was attached to the Labor Force Survey.
This survey aimed to provide data on energy consumption in the household sector and to provide data on energy consumption behavior in the society by type of energy.
This report presents data on various energy households indicators in the Palestinian Territory, and presents statistical data on electricity and other fuel consumption for the household sector, using type of fuel by different activities (cooking, Baking, heating, lighting, and water Heating).

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Target Population
All Palestinian households living within the Palestinian Territory.
Sampling Frame
Sampling frame is a master sample from the Population, Housing and Establishment Census 1997. It consists of a list of enumeration areas, which were used as PSU's in the first stage of selection.
Sampling Design
The sample of this survey is a sub-sample of the sample of the Labour 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 Household Energy Survey occupies six weeks of the first quarter 2003 of LFS.
Stratification:
In designing the sample of LFS, four levels of stratification were made:
Stratification by governorate.
Stratification by place of residence which comprises:
(a) Urban (b) Rural (c) Refugee camps
Stratification by locality size.
Stratification by classifying localities, excluding governorate capitals, into three strata based on the ownership of households within these localities of durable goods.
Sample Unit:
In the first stage, the sampling units are the enumerator areas (clusters) in the master sample. In the second stage, the sampling units are households.
Analysis Unit:
Analysis units are composed of households.
Sample Size:
The sample size is of (4,076) Palestinian households in 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.
All Palestinian households living within the Palestinian Territory.

Response Rate
During fieldwork 4,076 families were visited in the Palestinian Territory, There is 3,421 complete questioner. , this percent was about 84%.
Weighting
The weight of statistical units (sampling unit) in the sample is defined as the mathematical inverse of the selection
probability where the sample of the survey is two stage stratified cluster sample, so In the first stage, we calculate the weight of
enumeration areas which depending on the probability of each enumeration area (a systematic random sample), then In the
second stage we calculate weight of households in each enumeration area, Initial households weights resulted from
product of weight of first stage and weight of second stage, final households weights obtained after adjustment of initial Weights with the households estimates the beginning
of 2003 on the level of design strata (governorate, locality type).

Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Supervision
Several 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.
Data Collection Notes
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.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
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.
Data Processing
Data Editing
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
Editing and coding before data entry: All questionnaires were edited and coded in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field.
Data 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:
· To prevent the duplication of the questionnaires during data entry.
· To apply integrity and consistency checks of entered data.
· To handle errors in user friendly manner.
· The ability to transfer captured data to another format for data analysis using statistical analysis software such as SPSS.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Sampling Errors
These types of errors evolved as a result of studying a part of the society and not all of it. For this survey, variance calculations were made for average household consumption and total consumption for the different types of energy in the Palestinian Territory.
Non Sampling Errors:
These 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 …etc).
The sources of these errors can be summarized in:
Some of the households were not in their houses and the interviewers couldn't meet them.
Some of the households didn't show attention toward the questionnaire.
Some errors occurred due to the way the questions were asked by interviewers.
Misunderstood of the questions by the respondents.
Answering the questions related to consumption by making estimations.
Special Technical Notes:
This part presents the important technical notes on the indicators presented in the main results of the survey:
· In all calculations related to Gasoline, we dealt with the average of all available types of Gasoline.
· Data don't include the region between Jerusalem and Ramallah which was occupied and damaged by Israel through building Settlements on them.
· In this survey we collect data about consumption of olive cake in household, but because of less of data we didn't publish this data.
