Description |
A series of basic requirements have to be met for a housing unit (regardless of its type and inhabitant) to be adequate for living purposes, such as hygiene and privacy. Thus, a healthy housing unit would be the one that provides enough space for living and sleeping (rooms and bedrooms), for eating (a kitchen) as well as ventilated, exposed to sunlight, toilet facilities, electricity and drinking water installation.
Henceforth, we realize that the housing unit should constitute a basic requirement of the living conditions for Palestinians living in the Palestinian Territory, and it is therefore important to provide data on housing conditions, housing unit characteristics, and housing density.
This report includes the main results of Housing Conditions Survey (HCS) in the Palestinian Territory . PCBS implemented the survey, along with Survey of the Impact of the Israeli Unilateral Measures on the Social, Economic, and Environmental Conditions of Palestinian Households during 04\06\2006 - 15\06\2006. |
