This dataset includes plant occurrence data of the 2nd and 3rd National Survey on the Natural Environment: Vegetation Survey conducted by Ministry of Environment, Japan from 1957 to 1988. Vascular plants based on the 4th Version of the Japanese Red Lists by the Ministry of the Environment (MoE 2012) were recorded.
The first phase of the Households and the Environment Survey (HES) measures the environmental practices and behaviours of Canadian households that relate to the condition of our air, water and soils. The Households and the Environment Survey: Energy Use phase 3 (HEUS phase 3) is a follow up on the Households and the Environment survey (HES phase 1) and on the Households and the Environment Survey: Energy Use phase 2 (HEUS phase 2). The goal of the survey is to obtain permission from householders to collect information on their energy consumption from their energy provider(s). During HEUS phase 3, the energy providers are contacted in order to obtain the energy consumption data for the respondents who filled the consent form in HEUS phase 2. Together, the 3 phases of this survey were designed to collect data to develop and improve three key environmental indicators: air quality, water quality and greenhouse gas emissions.
The Children's Environmental Health Survey is carried out in collaboration between the Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska Institutet and the Statistics Sweden, on behalf of the Public Health Agency of Sweden.
The questionnaire concerned the health and environments of children in three age groups: 8 months, 4 years, and the 12 years. The questionnaire in the Children's environmental health survey 2003 was sent to 40,000 children's parents. The response rate was about 70%.
The questions were in most cases answered by the children’s parents, but some of the questions were directly asked of children in 12-year-old group.
In addition to the study in 2003, a second study was carried out in 2011, where some of the children from 2003 were invited to participate.
Purpose:
The aim was to chart how environmental factors like air pollution, noise and indoor environment effects the health of children and adolescents.

Passenger Environment Survey indicators combine the results of surveys of a number of different aspects of station conditions to measure passenger comfort and convenience.
Environmental statistics relating to households are an important instrument for making decisions, planning, and drawing up strategies for the environment. Due to the lack of data on this subject in Palestine, PCBS is building and developing a database on the environment in the household sector.
This survey is based on a household sample survey conducted during the period from 24th March 2015 to 31st May 2015. It provides basic statistics on various aspects of the environment, including water, solid waste, wastewater, noise, and air pollution. A special questionnaire was designed in accordance with United Nations standards and recommendations in the field of environmental statistics and adapted to Palestinian conditions.
This survey presents data on various environmental household indicators in Palestine and on water consumption for the household sector by water source, methods of solid waste disposal and their main components, the disposal of wastewater, and the existence of cesspits and water wells, in addition to exposure to noise and air pollution by source and time.

Sample survey data [ssd]
Sample and Frame
The sampling frame was based on the master sample which was updated in 2013-2014 for the Expenditure and Consumption Survey (PECS) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), and the frame consists from enumeration areas. These enumeration areas are used as primary sampling units (PSUs) in the first stage of the sampling selection.
Sampling Design: - Two stage stratified cluster sample as following:
Second stage: A systematic random sample of 20 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage.
Sample strata: The population was divided by:
Governorate
Locality type (urban, rural, camps)
Sample Size: The sample size is 7,690 households.
Face-to-face [f2f]
The environmental questionnaire was designed in accordance with similar international experiences and with international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of Palestine.
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations: Editing and coding prior to data entry: all questionnaires were edited and coded in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field.
Data entry: The household Environmental survey questionnaire was programmed and the data were entered into the computer in the offices in Nablus, Hebron, Ramallah and Gaza. At this stage, data were entered into the computer using a data entry template developed in Access. The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements: 1. To prevent the duplication of questionnaires during data entry. 2. To apply checks on the integrity and consistency of entered data. 3. To handle errors in a user friendly manner. 4. The ability to transfer captured data to another format for data analysis using statistical analysis software such as SPSS.
Response rate: 89.5%
7,690 households had been reached as a representative sample to Palestine, where the number of completed questionnaires amounted to 6,609 questionnaires of which 4,536 questionnaires were in West Bank and 2,073 questionnaires in Gaza Strip. Weights were amended at the level of design strata to modify effects of refusals rates and non response.
The concept of data quality covers many aspects, starting from the initial planning of the survey to the dissemination of the results and how well users understand and use the data. There are seven dimensions of statistical quality: relevance, accuracy, timeliness and punctuality, accessibility and clarity, comparability, coherence and completeness.
Accuracy
This includes many aspects of the survey, mainly statistical errors due to the use of a sample, and also non-statistical errors from workers and survey tools. It also includes the response rates in this survey and their effect on the assumptions. This section includes:
Sampling Errors: Data of this survey may be affected by sampling errors due to use of a sample and not a complete enumeration. Therefore, certain differences are expected in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. Variances were calculated for the most important indicators and the variance table is in the final report found in the related external resources under downloads. There is no problem with the dissemination of results on national and regional level (North, Middle, South West Bank, Gaza Strip) or by locality type.
Non Sampling Errors: The non-sampling errors are possible to occur at all phases of implementing the project, through data collection and entry which could be summarized as non-response errors, and responding errors (respondents), and interview errors (fieldworkers) and data-entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce the impact, it had been made great efforts through extensive training of fieldworkers on how to conduct interviews, things that ought to be followed during an interview, things that should be avoided, making some practical and theoretical exercises during training session, in addition to providing them with a manual booklet for fieldworkers which contained a private key questions of questionnaire, mechanism to fill questionnaire and methods of dealing with respondents to reduce refusal rates and providing correct and non-biased data. Also data entry staff were trained on the data entry program, which was tested before starting the data entry process.
As for office work, they had been trained for a special auditing of questionnaires and error detection, which greatly reduced rates of errors during field work. In order to reduce the percentage of errors during data entry, the program was designed to enter data so as not to allow any mistakes during the process and contained many of logical terms. This process led to disclosure of most of errors that had not been found in earlier phases of the work, where they were correcting all the errors that had been discovered.
After the completion of the aforesaid audits, data consistency was examined by computer using frequency and cross tables as turned out to be quite consistent. Errors impact was not detectable on data quality. This in turn gave a good impression of those in charge of the survey that we could rely on this data and extract reliable statistical and high significant indicators on the reality of corruption in Palestine.

The Children's Environmental Health Survey is carried out in collaboration between the Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska Institutet and the Statistics Sweden, on behalf of the Public Health Agency of Sweden.
The questionnaire concerned the health and environments of children in three age groups: 8 months, 4 years, and the 12 years. The questions were in most cases answered by the children’s parents, but some of the questions were directly asked of children in 12-year-old group.
The questions focused on the children’s exposure to environmental factors and on their self-rated symptoms, health, and levels of disturbance by various environmental factors. Statistics Sweden supplemented the data from the survey with demographic data from various central registers including gender, age, place of residence, country 24 of birth, and parents’ educational level etc. Nearly 71 400 children were randomly selected within each county. Approximately 36 000 people responded to the survey, representing a response rate of over 50 percent.
In addition to the study in 2011 a previously survey had been conducted in 2003, making it possible to compare the results and show how children’s environment and health changed during the eight years between the surveys.
Purpose: The aim was to chart how environmental factors like air pollution, noise and indoor environment effects the health of children and adolescents.
"This survey focuses on the state of the world's environment. It probes the concerns of people living in different parts of the world about their own environment and perceived inter-dependent problems on a more global basis. Supported by financial aid from several governments and organizations, the UNEP ask Harris and Associates to conduct surveys across 4 continents and within 16 countries. In each country (except the US), there were two distinct samples; a leader sample and a general public sample -- for a total of 31 files. In the US there was only the public sample. As more funds are made available, other countries will be included. To date, the survey covers the following countries: Africa - (Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Zimbabwe); Asia and the Pacific - (China, India, Japan, Saudi Arabia); Latin America and the Caribbean - (Argentina, Brazil, Jamaica, Mexico); Eastern Europe - (Hungary); Western Europe and North America - (Norway, West Germany, and the United States). Among the items measured are awareness and perceptions of environmental issues, levels of concern about environmental issues, perceptions of causes of pollution and environmental degradation, attitudes to global and regional interdependence, and attitudes toward possible policies."
This survey presents data on various environmental households indicators in Palestine, and presents statistical data on water consumption for the household sector by the water source, the methods of solid waste disposal and their main components, the disposal of wastewater, existence of cesspits and water wells. In addition to exposure to noise and air pollution by the source and time.

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: Programming household environmental survey questionnaire on the handheld devices, where the data has been entered directly through handheld devices in the West Bank, either with regard to Jerusalem J1 (that part of Jerusalem which were annexed by Israel in 1967) and Gaza Strip data was entered into the computer in the offices of Ramallah and Gaza. 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.
Response rate: 85.3%
Data of this survey affected by sampling errors due to use of the sample and not a complete enumeration. Therefore, certain differences are expected in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. Variance were calculated for the most important indicators, the variance table is attached with the final report. There is no problem to disseminate results at the national level and regional level (North, Middle, South West Bank, Gaza Strip) and locality type level.
The implementation of the survey encountered non-response where the case (household was not present at home ) during the fieldwork visit and the case ( housing unit is vacant) become the high percentage of the non response cases. The total non-response rate reached 10% which is very low once compared to the household surveys conducted by PCBS, The refusal rate reached 3.3% which is very low percentage compared to the household surveys conducted by PCBS, and the reason is the short and clear questionnaire .
This research was conducted in China in 2003. Data from 2400 establishments were analyzed.
The Investment Climate Surveys (ICS) were conducted by the World Bank and its partners across all geographic regions and covered firms of all sizes in many industries. The ICS collected a wide array of qualitative and quantitative information through face-to-face interviews with managers and owners regarding the investment climate in their country and the productivity of their firms. Topics covered in the ICS included the obstacles to doing business, infrastructure, finance, labor, corruption and regulation, contract enforcement, law and order, innovation and technology, and firm productivity. Taken together, the qualitative and quantitative data helped connect a country’s investment climate characteristics with firm productivity and performance.
Firm-level surveys have been conducted since 1998 by different units within the World Bank. Since 2005-06, most data collection efforts have been centralized within the Enterprise Analysis Unit (FPDEA). Enterprise Surveys, a replacement for Investment Climate Surveys, are now conducted by the Enterprise Analysis Unit.

The Bangladesh Environment and Migration Survey (BEMS) collects detailed retrospective information about migration trips in southwest Bangladesh, including the first, last, and second-to-last to internal destinations, India, and other international destinations. BEMS collects information about the year, origin, destination, and duration of all trips. Furthermore, BEMS includes information on migration and livelihood histories, socioeconomic conditions, agricultural resources and practices, disasters and perceptions about environment, and self-reported health. Dataset 1 is a household-level file with information about household composition, economic and migratory activity of household members, land ownership/usage, business ownership, household environmental perceptions, environmental conditions, agricultural activities, and physical and psychological health/well-being of household members. Dataset 2 is an individual-level file containing details of internal and international migration trips, as well as measures of economic and social activity during those trips. It also contains information provided by household heads, spouses, and other migrants in the household. Dataset 3 is an individual-level data file that provides general demographic information and brief migration history for each member of a surveyed household. It also includes health information for the head of household and spouse.
This dataset refers to Version 2 of the Households and Environment Survey (HES), 2013. The HES was conducted in October and November 2013 as a supplement to the Canadian Community Health Survey. The survey was designed to specifically address the needs of its funding source the Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) project, a joint venture between Statistics Canada, Environment Canada and Health Canada. The CESI project reports annually on air quality, water quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada using indicators to identify areas of importance to Canadians and monitor progress. The HES was first conducted in 1991, 1994 and more recently in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011. The 2013 survey offers an expanded view on household behaviours that relate to the environment but allows for comparisons with the 1994 survey for some indicators and most of the indicators from the 2006, 2007 and 2009 surveys.
The main objective of this report is to provide statistical data relating to educational establishments in fields such as: - External Environmental Factors (noise, smell, dust, smoke) - Water Consumption and Sources of Supply - Wastewater - Solid Waste Management

Self Assessment Directed Questionnaire [SAQ]
The environmental questionnaire was designed in accordance with similar international experiences and according to international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special context of Palestine.
The data processing stage consisted of the following operations:
Editing Before Data Entry: All questionnaires were edited in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the field.
Data Entry: Data were then entered into the computer using Microsoft Access. The data entry program was set up to satisfy a number of requirements, such as: - Identify duplication in the questionnaire during data entry. - Application of checks on logic and consistency during data collection. - Ability to perform within record as well as cross-record checks. - Minimize the number of errors by field workers or during data entry. - User-friendly handling of errors. - Possibility of transferring data into another format to be used and analyzed by other analytical statistical systems such as SPSS.
Response rate: 100%
In general, quality refers to the degree to which a group of correlative particularities of specific requirements are fulfilled. Thus, statistical data quality refers to all fields related to statistics that meet users' requirements and expectations regarding content, form and method of presentation. Two types of error may affect the quality of data, namely sampling and non-sampling errors.
Sampling Errors: Sampling errors are measurable and are very limited in this survey since the study covered all educational establishments in Palestine.
Non-Sampling Errors: The non-sampling errors could not be determined easily due to the diversity of sources (e.g. interviewers, respondents, editors, coders, data entry operators…etc). To minimize such errors, data were edited before and after the data entry process.
This research was conducted in China in 2005. Data from 12400 establishments were analyzed.
