The liberalized economic system in Armenia has led to a sharp growth in individual housing construction by individuals for their own use. High rates of individual housing construction may be observed in some geographic (regional) locations. However a lack of accurate administrative registers of licences for construction, the prevalence of some constructions (built without any license), create particular difficulties in producing reliable and comprehensive statistical data collection on individual housing construction.
In general, problems faced in collecting information about house construction may be separated in the following main groups: • incompleteness of indicators on volumes of individual housing construction by marz (region) breakdown, • introduction of the instruments being used in the international practice, taking into consideration peculiarities of the sphere, • lack of precise mechanisms for monitoring the process of individual housing construction, • expanding and improvement of the existing indicators set, • necessity of forming and updating of the individual housing construction register.
In this context, in order to improve the statistical accounting of house construction, it is important to conduct periodical surveys and by so doing to improve the instruments available, through the development and use of state statistical reporting forms, and to obtain some broad indicators of levels of activity in at least some regions of the Country.
Taking into account the above-mentioned, the main purpose of this survey was to improve statistics on individual housing construction. In particular, • ensuring the comparability of the statistical data on house construction with the methodologies and standards used in the international practice, • ensuring the comprehensiveness of the indicators by regional breakdown, • use of the sampling methods and improvements of their methodology in construction.
The survey results provide: - complete and reliable information on individual housing construction in some key regions, particularly studying structure and volumes of the buildings, - and increase in the quality of information, - to complement the database on house construction within the official statistics with new indicators, - a model for a register for newly built houses which can be used to monitor periodically the level housing construction activity.
The derived results enable NSSRA to improve and update its database, to expand its list of published indicators, to improve methodology, and to support more informed policy making by providing state and local selfgovernment bodies with key information.
National
Sample survey data [ssd]
There were two main approaches - entire and sampling - used for the conduct of the survey.
Lists of the licenses for individual housing construction, which had been given since 2005 by the state government body in the urban development, served as the main information source for the survey.
However there were, in some regions, serious inaccuracies and lack of availability of lists of licensed permits for individual house construction. These weaknesses, together with restrictions of available financial and human resources and the objective of receiving representative data, led to a concentration of survey resources in those regions where the individual housing construction is more prevalent and where reasonably up-to-date lists of licences are available. Yerevan and the following 4 marzes - Aragatsotn, Ararat, Armavir and Kotayk- were selected. The results of the survey therefore only apply to Yerevan and to these 4 marzes.
The licenses given for individual housing construction in Yerevan city were surveyed in their entirety, but in the other marzes - by the random sampling, considering the differences between the numbers of the mentioned licenses (from 100 to 640, meanwhile 100 - in Armavir, 136 - in Aragatsotn, 304 - in Ararat, 640 -in Kotayk), based on which the sample "steps" had been determined.
Overall there were 1330 licences granted, permitting individuals to construct a house for their own use. These were predominantly in Yerevan.
Although the survey was aimed at 1330 houses, it was foreseen to survey also those buildings under construction in the neighbourhood of the surveyed buildings, which were out of the list of the buildings to be surveyed.
