and durable goods, as well as data pertaining to each household member, such as gender, age, civil status, refugee status, nationality, health status, educational attainment and labour force participation. The questionnaire for the sample survey (ii) contained two parts: (1) a household questionnaire, which collected data about dwelling standards and people’s residential area, the household as an entity (income, savings and debt, durable goods), and information pertaining to each household member (gender, age, civil status, refugee status and nationality, chronic illness and use of health services, educational attainment and current enrolment, employment and unemployment, income), and (2) a randomly selected individual (RSI) questionnaire posing questions about attitudes and perceptions (e.g. satisfaction with health and education services, labour force participation, feeling of safety in neighbourhood) to one randomly selected person aged 15 or above in each household. The sample survey asked more detailed questions on the same topics as the comprehensive camp survey in addition to covering some other areas. Generally, the questionnaires comprised questions followed by a list of pre-coded answer categories that interviewers marked upon listening to the answers. All questionnaires were completed by interviewers, and respondents were, as a rule, not shown the questions or answer codes. Whenever possible, we rely on data from the comprehensive survey, which provides the most accurate statistics. Qualitative interviews (iii) aimed to better understand the dynamics of Jerash camp and the intersectional barriers and opportunities to generate income and improve livelihood opportunities. Interviewees in Jerash camp and elsewhere were initially identified through pre-existing contacts within the camps and through social media and camp Facebook pages, and subsequently by snowballing. Particular attention was given to reaching persons with different profiles, including: age, sex, tribal affiliation, place of origin and occupation in Palestine, household structure, socio-economic standing, educational attainment, location of work place (inside/outside the camp), sector of employment (private, government, family-based, home-based, seasonal, day-labourer), location of dwelling, property ownership and mobility outside camp. Interviews with key information holders sought to further contextualise the situation of Jerash camp and ex-Gazans more broadly. A note on referencing and transliteration For ease of referencing qualitative interviews with ex-Gazans and others (data source iii), we have made the stylistic decision to cite information originating from a specific interview, including direct quotes or life stories, with date and place as well as with either the name of the entity or person interviewed or — where interviews are anonymised — noting only the interviewee’s gender and age. Names of third persons referenced in direct quotes have also been changed, and we have occasionally also omitted place names. Where information originates from multiple interviews with the same person, making the listing of all dates cumbersome, we provide the month when interviews were conducted and the interviewee and/or location(s) as appropriate. When recurrent themes and findings from numerous interviews inform the analysis, we do not reference specific interviews. Whenever statistics are presented without any reference, they originate from the comprehensive and sample surveys implemented by Fafo (data sources i and ii). To avoid confusing output based on this data with the quarterly surveys conducted by DoS (data source iv), we reference output from the latter source as ‘DoS and Fafo, 2015’. Most statistics used in this report can be found in figures and tables in Part 2; however, we do introduce some new statistics in the text in Part 3.
