295Introduction
Study and data
This tabulation report comprises descriptive statistics from a study of the living condi- tions of the Palestinian refugee population residing inside Jordan’s 13 Palestinian refu- gee camps.
1The study was initiated by Jordan’s Department of Palestinian Affairs, funded by the Government of Norway, and implemented by Fafo in close collaboration with Jordan’s Department of Statistics, and with design input from UNRWA.
The study collected data through two large-scale surveys: (i) a comprehensive survey of the 13 Palestinian refugee camps (April to June 2011); and (ii) a multi-topic survey of a representative sample of Palestinian refugee-camp households (September to November 2011). This report consists of tables with data from the sample survey.
The study did not cover the natural extension of camps, but was limited to the ‘offi- cial’ or ‘historical’ borders of the camps since they have traditionally defined the man- date areas of the DPA. In principle, therefore, the results of the comprehensive survey are not valid for Palestinian refugees residing in the camps’ extensions. However, ac- cording to DPA and UNRWA, the circumstances of people residing in these adjacent areas are not significantly different from those inside the historical borders. We there- fore believe the findings are fairly representative for the living conditions of Palestinian refugees residing in these adjacent areas also.
The sample survey comprised two questionnaires: (i) a household questionnaire which collected data about dwelling standards and people’s residential area, the house- hold 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 (ii) 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 the neigh- bourhood) to one randomly selected person aged 15 and above in each household.
The sample survey fieldwork was implemented from 23 October to 21 November 2011. The sample was a linear systematic random sample of all households which were listed and interviewed during the comprehensive survey.
2Hitteen camp was over- sampled with a take of 900 households to allow independent reporting on that camp, while the remaining 3,100 households were allocated on the other 12 camps with the same inclusion probability. One household member in each selected household was
1 Ten of the 13 camps were originally established in response to the crises in 1948 and 1967 on government-owned or leased land for the specific purpose of establishing Palestinian refugee camps and are as such recognized as ‘official’ camps by UNRWA. The remaining three camps (Prince Hassan, Sukhneh and Madaba) were originally gatherings or concentrations of Palestinian refugees that were later recognized by the Jordanian government as camps but are still considered to be ‘unofficial’ by UNRWA. However, this has little impact on the services provided by UNRWA in these three camps.
2 The comprehensive survey listed all building structures, dwellings and households inside the camps. The sample was drawn from the
randomly selected from all household members aged 15 and above to answer the RSI questionnaire.
Fieldwork resulted in 3,773 household questionnaires, or just above 94 per cent of the 4,000 households sampled, being successfully completed (see table, below). Thirty- six households declined to participate in the survey. The remaining ‘non-response’ pri- marily consists of vacant dwellings.
Despite the over-sampling of Hitteen camp, we have chosen not to report separately on Hitteen. Instead we use the four reporting domains shown in the table. Talbiyeh, Hussein (or Jabal al-Hussein), Wihdat (also called Amman New Camp) and Prince Has- san camps, all administratively located in Amman governorate, as well as Madaba camp in Madaba governorate are grouped into the ‘Amman’ reporting domain. Baqa’a camp makes up one of the four reporting domains on its own since its population size, and as a consequence its sample size, is sufficiently large to allow so. The camps of Zarqa, Su- khneh and Hitteen (also named Marka and Schneller) are classified into the reporting domain ‘Zarqa’, the governorate in which they are administratively situated. Finally, Ir- bid and (Martyr) Azmi al-Mufti (or Hosun) camps in Irbid governorate along with Ja- rash (also called ‘Gaza camp’ due to its large proportion of so-called ‘ex-Gazans) and Souf camps in Jarash governorate are grouped into the ‘North’ reporting domain.

Palestinian refugee defined
This report applies ‘Palestinian refugee’ in accordance with a Jordanian classification system, which was used for the first time in Jordan’s 1994 Population Census and has later been applied in several surveys by DoS and Fafo. The survey requested that all household members be categorized into the following groups:
Amman Baqa'a Zarqa North Filled questionnaires 855 1,026 1,007 885 3,773 Non-response *) 50 56 51 70 227 Sample size 905 1,082 1,058 955 4,000

er) Jordan in conjunction with the 1967 war, and who was not already a refugee from 1948. ‘Refugees, then displaced’ are people who were first forced to flee due to the 1948 war and settled in the West Bank (from 1951 part of Jordan) and then had to flee for the second time in conjunction with the 1967 war. The label ‘from Gaza Strip’ refers to people who arrived in Jordan from Gaza, mostly as a result of the 1967 war, and were unable to return, some of whom had already been displaced once in 1948. Descendants of these four categories of refugees and displaced inherit the status through the patri- lineal line. The fifth group in this classification system is a residual category, comprising all those who did not fit into the first four categories. It includes individuals from vari- ous backgrounds, including Egyptians, Syrians and other foreign nationals as well as a few Jordanians of Palestinian origin who do not consider themselves refugees (as de- fined here).
A ‘Palestinian refugee’, or simply ‘refugee’, in this report refers to a person who be- longs to any of the first four categories.
3Hence, when we report on individual char- acteristics, we only use data on refugees according to the Jordanian classification system.
However, we also report on Palestinian refugee households, defined as any household with at least one member who is a Palestinian refugee as defined above. Two and one-half per cent of all refugee-camp households completely lack members who are Palestinian refugees. Hence, 97.5 per cent of all households are refugee households, as defined by us.
Reading the tables
The tables contain the values of the output variable (the issue we are interested in) in the columns. The values or results for the entire sample population are given in the top- most row. The background variable or individual/household characteristics are dis- played in the rows. This allows for comparison of various sub-groups, e.g. across place of residence, age or educational attainment.
The results are displayed as percentages, but contain the number of observations (the un-weighted ‘N’) as row totals.
In some tables, one or more cells contain a dash instead of a number. This implies that not a single person or household had that particular value on the output variable.
Rounding up to the nearest decimal is used. Hence, if one or very few persons or households have a value but they add up to less than 0.05 per cent, it would be present- ed as zero in the table.
In some tables, crucial information about the respondents or N is placed under the table itself.
3 This is different from the definition of ‘Palestine refugee’ applied by UNRWA, whose core mandate is to provide services to ‘Palestine refugees’, defined as any person whose ‘normal place of residence was in Mandate Palestine during the period from 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948 and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war’.
