Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Supervision
The field workers were trained on the main skills before the start of data collection. The interviewers were trained on the environmental survey by implementing training courses in three locations in the West Bank and one location in Gaza Strip. Instructions for filling the questionnaire were made available for the interviewers. The trainers provided the participants with aims and definitions of the different indicators of the survey and how to fill in the questionnaire.
Data Collection Notes
The following are important technical notes on the indicators presented in the results of the survey:
Data from the Gaza Strip should be handled carefully because of the prevailing economic situation there during the implementation of the survey.
Tables of water and solid waste quantities were based on estimations by respondents.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
The environmental questionnaire was designed according to international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of Palestine. Many visits for economical establishments were made in order to improve the survey tools and to test the questionnaire before implementing the survey; consequently some modifications were made on the questionnaire and on the instructions following the visits
Data Processing
Data Editing
The data processing stage contain 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 Access database. The data entry 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 fieldwork 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
Estimates of Sampling Error
These types of error are due to studying only a part of a social base. Since this survey is sample based, the data will be affected by sampling errors due to not using the whole frame of society and differences may appear compared with the actual values that could be obtained through a census. For this survey, variance calculations were made for the amounts of water consumed and the main source of supply in economic establishments by region and activity.
Data Appraisal
Variance is change from a variable to another, it depends on:
1. The sample size
2. The actual variance for all the population units
3. the sample design
The variance for a number of variables was calculated using CENVAR
The variables that calculated are:
1. standard error
2. Coefficient of variance = standard error*100% / estimation
3. Effect of sample design
4. 95% confidence interval
