Sampling
(a) The Modular approach
- In the Census of Agriculture in 2014 , the enumerators referred to all the households in rural and urban areas and completed the frame list for all of the holders and then filled in a holding questionnaire for each holding.
(b) Frame
- The frame used for rural areas in the Census of Agriculture in 2014 was the list of villages based on the latest geographical divisions and the frame used for the urban areas was the comprehensive list of urban blocks map.
(c) Complete or Sample Enumeration Methods
- Complete enumeration method was used.
- List of agriculture holdings in metropolises and large villages was used for direct interviewing methods.
Survey instrument
Four types of listing forms (specific for different types of units) were used to identify the holdings. Two census questionnaires were used to collect census data:
(i) the holding questionnaire
(ii) the village questionnaire
The CA 2014 covered 11 of the 16 core items recommended by FAO for the WCA 2010. The following core items were not covered by the CA 2014:
(i) "Household size"
(ii) "Main purpose of production of the holding"
(iii) "Land tenure types on the holding";
(iv) "Presence of forest and other wood land on the holding";
(V) "Other economic production activities of the holding's enterprise".
See questionnaire in external materials.
Data collection
| Start | End |
|---|---|
| 2014-09-27 | 2014-11-09 |
In this census three statistical periods were used: "enumeration day" , " crop year" and "the past 365 days before the day of enumeration".
- Enumeration day: some of the statistical items in holding questionnaires refer to the day of enumeration. For example: The number of livestock
- Crop year: we obtained the information on all types of crops which were planted from September 2013 to September 2014. (It means that the beginning and the end of cultivation date for temporary and permanent crops)
Enumerators filled in the census questionnaire for all agricultural holdings through face-to-face interviews. For the first time in the census history of Iran, the CA 2014 was carried out using CAPI (with tablets).
Data processing
(a) Data processing and archiving
- Data entry and editing in Tablets (done by the enumerators)
- Data editing in web-based system (done by the experts)
- The SCI conducted a general assessment of the data and and also conducted some imputations on them.
(b) Census data quality
- The SCI monitored all phases of the Census such as implementation and data processing
- Experts of the SCI and experts in the provinces checked the gathered data after the Census ended.
- The SCI also conducted post enumeration
