Based on a collection of estimates, over the past 9,000 years, there have been at least 48 cities with a claim to the title of "the world's most populous city". While these can be found on four separate continents, the majority are concentrated in three major regions; 12 of these cities were in present-day Iraq or Syria (then-Mesopotamia), nine were in China, and seven in Egypt. Additionally, many of these cities were found across the Mediterranean, not only during Antiquity (Alexandria, Carthage, and Rome), but also during the Middle Ages (Constantinople, Cordova, and Fez), highlighting the economic significance of this region throughout history.

Many of the older entries in this list are now just archeological sites, although several have been continuously inhabited for millennia, such as Luoyang and Xi'an in China, which both have populations of several million in 2022. It may also be possible that the first entry, Jericho, is the world's oldest, continuously inhabited settlement, although this is a topic of debate.

Abstract

The World Values Survey (www.worldvaluessurvey.org) is a global network of social scientists studying changing values and their impact on social and political life, led by an international team of scholars, with the WVS association and secretariat headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The survey, which started in 1981, seeks to use the most rigorous, high-quality research designs in each country. The WVS consists of nationally representative surveys conducted in almost 100 countries which contain almost 90 percent of the world’s population, using a common questionnaire. The WVS is the largest non-commercial, cross-national, time series investigation of human beliefs and values ever executed, currently including interviews with almost 400,000 respondents. Moreover the WVS is the only academic study covering the full range of global variations, from very poor to very rich countries, in all of the world’s major cultural zones. The WVS seeks to help scientists and policy makers understand changes in the beliefs, values and motivations of people throughout the world. Thousands of political scientists, sociologists, social psychologists, anthropologists and economists have used these data to analyze such topics as economic development, democratization, religion, gender equality, social capital, and subjective well-being. These data have also been widely used by government officials, journalists and students, and groups at the World Bank have analyzed the linkages between cultural factors and economic development.

Sampling procedure

For the purpose of this research, the population frame was defined as all adult citizens (18 years and more) who lived in Iraqi urban and rural areas. The sample consisted of 2880 respondents in 18 governorates. The number of cases to be included for each governorate was determined by considering:

1) each governorates population as a percentage of the overall population;

2) the number of cases necessary to make valid regional comparisons; and

3) the rural area population as a percentage of the governorate population. A multi-stage probability-based sample was drawn utilizing residential listings from Iraqs 1997 Population Census. Six sampling stages were deployed. First, the number of interviews was distributed among census districts (Qada) proportionally. Second, each Qada consisted of a number of census sub districts called (Nahia) which received its share of interviews proportionally. Nahias, in turn, consist of many blocks. At the third stage, blocks were regarded as the primary sampling units (PSU) in the urban areas, with 96 PSUs being selected using probability-proportional-to-size procedures. Thirty, twenty, or ten interviews were conducted in each block. Because more than seven years had passed since the census, the residential list in each street was not necessarily accurate, so each interviewer was asked to draw a map for the households located in the street he\she was supposed to work in. In the fifth stage, each interviewer selected, randomly, five households in the street using random tables. Finally, within each selected household, one respondent was randomly selected using the last birthday method. Because many elderly Iraqi citizens do not know their exact birthday, a list of random birthdays was used by interviewers when necessary. Due to the inaccuracy of the addresses in the rural areas, interviewers were trained on how to use simple rules in choosing the household which should be interviewed. This was also practiced on the urban Kurdistan cities which were not covered by the 1997 national census. Standard rules have been followed to choose blocks, streets and households. The rule of choosing the respondent is the same in all 2880 interviews. The margin of error was calculated in order to 1) incorporate the clustering effects of multistage sample design, and 2) to provide 95% confidence level. Although the overall margin of error is estimated at ±3.017% (n=2701), the margin of error varies across the 18 governorates included in the sample.

The sample size for Iraq is N=2701 and includes the national population aged 18 years and over for both sexes.

Research instrument

The questionnaire designed to identify Iraqis political attitudes and their viewpoints toward the current and the near future political situation, in addition to attitudes toward some social issues. Iraqis values are among the important issues that covered by this survey. After designing the questionnaire, pretests were done on a pilot sample consisting of 20 households in different areas of Baghdad. Pretest findings were considered to modify the draft questionnaire and reach the final version.

Response rate

The response rate was nearly (93.8 %). The rate of refusals was (2.8%). The higher refusal rate was in Irbil (23.8%), while the lowest rate was in Karbala, Diyala, and Dohuk (1.3%).

Abstract

The 2000 Iraq Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) is a nationally representative survey of households, women, and children. The main objectives of the survey are to provide up-to-date information for assessing the situation of children and women in Iraq at the end of the decade, to furnish data needed for monitoring progress toward goals established at the World Summit for Children and as a basis for future action and to contribute to the improvement of data and monitoring systems in Iraq and to strengthen technical expertise in the design, implementation and analysis of such systems.

MICS 2000 provides a large set of detailed results, thus acquiring special significance in displaying the situation of women and children in Iraq under the sanctions imposed on the country. This report, the second in the MICS series, includes 40 tables. These tables provide a profile of the main characteristics of the sample's households, women and children and cover indicators on education, nutritional, water and sanitation, immunization, vitamin supplements, child health and morbidity, as well as indicators on family planning, antenatal health and child labour. The survey provides data on the above -mentioned indictors disaggregated by rural/urban and sex, as well as by a certain number of other key characteristics, such as number of household members, child age and mother’s/women's educational background.

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample of the Iraqi MICS was designed to be representative of the whole country and for rural and urban areas1, and covered all the 18 governorates of Iraq. Sample size was set the sample size at 13,430 households. The sample size was initially distributed equally among the 18 governorates with the exception of Baghdad where the rural percentage was increased from 10 percent to 25 percent, due to the relatively small size of its rural population. Thus, each governorate was allocated an equal sample size of 740 households except Baghdad with a sample size of 850 households. The sample was to be distributed to clusters of equal size. It was decided to work on a cluster size of 10 households. Before selecting the sample of each one of the 18 governorates -through three stages stratified random sampling method- the sample of each governorate was distributed among its Qada'as2, and among the rural and urban areas of each Qada'a, in proportion to the size of population. Accordingly, the number of household (clusters) of the urban and of the rural areas of each governorate was determined. The sampling process was done in three stages and as follows:

First stage:Mahalas/Villages in each Qada'a were listed with the measure of population size in each Mahala/Village. A number of Mahallas and Villages were selected according to probability proportionate to size sampling.

Second stage: Each selected Mahala in the urban area, and village in the rural area, was divided into segments with a population of approximately 500 each. One segment or more was selected according to probability proportionate to size sampling method. Then each segment was divided into blocks or Majals with 25-30 households in urban area and 20-25 households in rural areas. One Majal was then selected by simple random sampling.

Third stage: Within each selected Majal an update of existing household listing was carried out and a cluster of 10 households was selected by systematic random sampling.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The questionnaire is based on the MICS model questionnaire provided by UNICEF, which contains modules on households, women aged (15-49), and children under 5. The questionnaire used is based on the Arabic translation of the English core questionnaire, provided by the MENARO, with some revisions and adaptations. The child Mortality module was excluded, the HIV module was revised to suit local conditions, the optional modules on child disability and night blindness were included, and additional questions on breast feeding, water and sanitation, and maternal and newborn health were incorporated in the relevant modules. The Arabic version was reviewed closely and repeatedly to ensure its consistency with the original version on the one hand and its suitability with the local terminology/vocabulary on the other. To detect problem areas and minimise misinterpretations, the endorsed questionnaire was pre-tested in August 2000. Based on the results of the pre-test, modifications were made as deemed necessary.

Response rate

Of the 13,430 households selected for the sample, 13,114 were reached. Of these, 13,011 were successfully interviewed yielding a household response rate of 99.2 per cent countrywide, 99.3 per cent response rate for the urban areas, and 99.2 per cent for the rural areas. In the interviewed households of the sample, 23,079 eligible women (age 15-49) were identified. Of these, 22994 women were successfully interviewed, giving a rate of 1.77 eligible woman per interviewed household. Thus giving an eligible women response rate of 99.6 per cent countrywide, 99.6 per cent in urban areas, and 99.7 percent in rural areas. In addition, the sample contained 14,744 children, of whom 14,676 were interviewed (i.e. at the rate of 1.13 child per household selected). The response rate of children was 99.5 per cent for the whole country, 99.6 per cent and 99.5 per cent for the urban areas and rural areas respectively .

BackgroundMeasurement of mortality and injury in conflict situations presents many challenges compared with stable situations. However, providing information is important to assess the impact of conflict on populations and to estimate humanitarian needs, both in the immediate and longer term. Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, was overrun by fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on June 4, 2014. In this study, we conducted household surveys to measure reported deaths, injuries, and kidnappings in Mosul, Iraq, both during the occupation of the city by fighters of ISIS and the months of Iraqi military action known as the liberation.Methods and findingsMosul was overrun by ISIS forces on June 4, 2014, and was under exclusive ISIS control for 29 months. The military offensive by Iraqi forces, supported by coalition artillery and airstrikes, began on October 17, 2016, in east Mosul and concluded in west Mosul with the defeat of ISIS on June 29, 2017. We conducted a 40-cluster population-based survey as soon as the security forces permitted access for the survey team. The objective of the survey was to measure reported deaths, injuries, and kidnappings in Mosul households during 29 months of ISIS-exclusive control (June 2014–October 2016) and the nine months of Iraqi military action known as the liberation (October 2016–June 2017). In east Mosul, the survey was conducted from March 23 to March 31, 2017, and in west Mosul from July 18 to July 31, 2017. Sampling was based on pre-ISIS population distribution, with revisions made following the extensive destruction in west Mosul. The 1,202 sampled households included 7,559 persons: 4,867 in east Mosul and 2,692 in west Mosul. No households declined to participate. During the time from June 4, 2014, to the time of the survey, there were 628 deaths reported from the sampled households, of which 505 were due to intentional violence, a mortality rate of 2.09 deaths per 1,000 person-months. Over the entire time period, the group with the highest mortality rates from intentional violence was adults aged 20 to 39: 1.69 deaths per 1,000 person-months among women and 3.55 among men. In the 29 months of ISIS-exclusive control, mortality rates among all males were 0.71 reported deaths per 1,000 person-months and for all females were 0.50 deaths per 1,000 person-months. During the nine months of the military liberation, the mortality rates jumped to 13.36 deaths per 1,000 person-months for males and 8.33 for females. The increase was particularly dramatic in west Mosul. The leading cause of reported deaths from intentional violence was airstrikes—accounting for 201 civilian deaths—followed by 172 deaths from explosions. Reported deaths from airstrikes were most common in west Mosul, while reported deaths from explosions were similar on both sides of Mosul. Gunshots accounted for 86 cases, predominantly in west Mosul where ISIS snipers were particularly active. There were 35 persons who were reported to have been kidnapped, almost entirely prior to the military offensive. By the time of the survey, 20 had been released, 8 were dead, and 7 still missing, according to household reports. Almost all of the 223 injuries reported were due to intentional violence. Limitations to population-based surveys include a probable large survivor bias, the reliance on preconflict population distribution figures for sampling, and potential recall bias among respondents.ConclusionsDeath and injuries during the military offensive to liberate Mosul considerably exceeded those during ISIS occupation. Airstrikes were the major reported cause of deaths, with the majority occurring in west Mosul. The extensive use of airstrikes and heavy artillery risks an extensive loss of life in densely populated urban areas. The high probability of survivor bias in this survey suggests that the actual number of injuries, kidnappings, and deaths in the neighborhoods sampled is likely to be higher than we report here.
