5. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.20155 2011 PHS was conducted in order to obtain the information nationally needed and internationally recommended on demographic, social, economic and housing characteristics of the population. Census Model: Combined model was used (by using population registers and by conducting a big sample survey) Application Method: Face to face interview with netbooks (CAPI) and by using paper based questionnaires Application Period: October-November, 2011 2011 Population And Housing Census

6. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.20156 Main purpose of conducting a survey is to obtain information that are not available in the ABPRS, other administrative registers and that can not be obtained from regular household surveys in province and district level. Registers were used to provided data about at least some basic population topics, determining the address frame, reducing response burden and to improve the quality of the census information 2011 Population And Housing Census

8. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.20158 A big sample survey of about 2.4 million households (approximately 12,7% of the total households) conducted in 4.119 localities (948 province and district centers, 3.171 villages) Complete enumeration of institutional places (military barracks, university dormitories, nursing homes, prisons, orphanages, etc.) 2011 Population And Housing Survey

9. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.20159 Enumeration areas were defined on National Addres Database including approximately 100 inhabited dwellings (dwellings in which persons registered in ABPRS) Out of 195.192 enumeration areas 22.861 sample enumeration areas were selected (11,7%) 9.438 enumeration areas (in province and district centers) 3.423 enumeration areas (in village) 2011 Population And Housing Survey

10. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.201510 Field application Approximately 3.600 enumerators, 383 supervisors and responsible persons for each region, province and district were charged 6.2 million addresses were enumareted 8,5 million persons were interviewed Non-response rate was 7,2%

13. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.201513 Monitoring field application Daily and weekly reports were taken from central system to monitore the field application, Simultaneous web based consistency check reports visualised to the Regional Offices during the field application for approvement, Field data were checked with administrative records (MERNIS, etc.) and sent to RO for approvement Mail group was created to communicate with field staff.

14. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.201514 NAD (National Address Database) was used as an address frame Address Based Population Registration System (ABPRS) was mainly used to avoid multiple records to reduce response burden –personal Id numbers –name/surname, sex, date of birth etc. Central population registration System (MERNIS) and social security records were used to improve the quality of the census information –Birth records –Death records Registers Used In Census

15. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.201515 Quality Control Study (CQS) Quality Control Study of 2011 PHS was carried out in November and December, Purpose: To evaluate the data quality of PHS in terms of calculating the content errors based on basic variables. Approximately 5% of the sample enumeration areas from the respondent PHS enumeration areas –In 511 localities, 1.108 enumeration areas were interviewed –All addresses in the selected enumeration areas were interviewed –Matching ratio between PHS and QCS over individual identification numbers is around 92% The CQS interview in the field was carried out independently from PHS The supervisors in the CQS were from the central office The reliability indicators will be reported on the basis of each variable asked in CQS In the analysis, inconsistency index, net and gross difference rate, rate of agreement indicators will be calculated

16. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.201516 The number of field staff needed for collecting data was less than 2000 Population Census. This created advantage in terms of budget, quality of staff and controlling the field operation and logistics Netbook usage(CAPI) provided some cross checks between answers at the time of interview. Checks in the program increased the data quality Netbook usage for data capture created time efficiency compared to other methods (ICR, manual data entry) By the online data transfer which allowed enumerators sent data to the main system, field application can be monitored daily through central web based system Advantages of the Methodology

17. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.201517 Because it was the first time to use this methodology it was a challenge in terms of lacking of experience Because the data collection period is quite long (2-3 months) the gap between the reference date increased National Address Database has some problems in terms of building codes identifies buildings. This was a challenge for creating checks in the netbook program In some regions finding the addresses in the field was still a problem that NAD is not updated regularly by the municipalities Disadvantages of the Methodology

18. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.201518 Lessons Learnt Duration of data entry program testing should be longer and further program testing procedures should be applied A long term period program should be implemented for choosing and training of the field staff Geographical Information Systems(GIS) should be used for creating enumeration areas on orthophotos Duration of the field application period should be shorter Administrative registers should be used during the field application to check the quality of the data(simultaneously from the beginning to the end of the field application) Organization of the institutional places should be completed earlier and the field application should be completed in 1 week. Instead of manual data entry of regional offices, each institutional place can realize own data entry on a web based program

19. REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE TurkStat Population and Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Team 25.05.201519 Plans for the next census: fully register based analyzing stages should be tested in advance quality control study should be done according to a scheduled program integrating the current surveys with registers should be warranted and new thechniques should be explored Lessons Learnt
