Summary:
A random sample of 1,190 Palestinians, over the age of 17 years, were interviewed throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip on 18/19/20 February 1993. The interviews were conducted on a face-to-face basis with people who visited general service offices to fill out application forms for their identity cards, travel documents, birth registrations, etc, in the main towns. The interviewers reported that some people filled out their questionnaire by themselves in the presence of the interviewer.
In the West Bank, approximately 690 questionnaires were allocated to each of the following major towns: Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqilia, Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron, East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Jericho. In the Gaza Strip, 500 questionnaires were divided between: Gaza, Khan Younis and Rafah areas.
Of the 1,400 questionnaires, we received back 1,190 completed questionnaires. A few were discounted, either because the respondent was under 17 years of age or because the answers were not clear.
