3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
3.4.1. Statistical concepts and definitions - Usual residence Usual residence means the place where a person normally spends the daily period of rest, regardless of temporary absences for purposes of recreation, holidays, visits to friends and relatives, business, medical treatment or religious pilgrimage. The sex of each person enumerated, was recorded. 3.4.3. Statistical concepts and definitions - AgeThe age reached at the reference date (in completed years). 3.4.4. Statistical concepts and definitions - Marital statusMarital status is the (legal) conjugal status of an individual in relation to the marriage laws of the country (de jure status). Cyprus does not have a legal framework that allows for registered partnerships. 3.4.5. Statistical concepts and definitions - Family statusThe family nucleus is defined in the narrow sense, that is as two or more persons who belong to the same household and who are related as husband and wife, as partners in a registered partnership, as partners in a consensual union, or as parent and child. Thus a family comprises a couple without children, or a couple with one or more children, or a lone parent with one or more children. This family concept limits relationships between children and adults to direct (first-degree) relationships, that is between parents and children. Cyprus does not have a legal framework that allows for registered partnerships. Two persons are considered to be partners in a 'consensual union' when they Private households may be defined according to the 'housekeeping concept' , or, if this is not possible, Member States may apply the 'household-dwelling' concept. CYSTAT used the housekeeping concept. 2. Household-dwelling concept Current activity status' is the current relationship of a person to economic activity, based on a reference period of one week, which may be either a specified, recent, fixed, calendar week, or the last complete calendar week, or the last seven days prior to enumeration. Occupation' refers to the type of work done in a job (that is the main tasks and duties of the work). Persons doing more than one job are allocated an occupation based on their main job, which is identified according to the time spent on the job or, if not available, to the income received. Industry (branch of economic activity) is the kind of production or activity of the establishment (or similar unit) in which the job of a currently economically active person is located. An 'employee' is a person who works in a 'paid employment' job, that is a job where the explicit or implicit contract of employment gives the incumbent a basic remuneration, which is independent of the revenue of the unit for which he/she works. The location of the place of work is the geographical area in which a currently employed person does his/her job. 'Educational attainment' refers to the highest level successfully completed in the educational system of the country where the education was received. All education which is relevant to the completion of a level is taken into account even if this was provided outside schools and universities. A locality is defined as a distinct population cluster, that is an area defined by population living in neighbouring or contiguous buildings. Such buildings may either: The LAU2 level (municipalities and communities) was used by CYSTAT for the definition of Locality. 3.4.14. Statistical concepts and definitions - Place of birthPlace of birth is defined as the place of usual residence of the mother at the time of the birth, or, if not available, as the place in which the birth took place. CYSTAT used the place of usual residence of the mother at the time of birth as the definition of the Place of Birth. 3.4.15. Statistical concepts and definitions - Country of citizenshipCitizenship is defined as the particular legal bond between an individual and his/her State, acquired by birth or naturalisation, whether by declaration, option, marriage or other means according to the national legislation. The year of arrival is the calendar year in which a person most recently established usual residence in the country. The data for 2011 refer to the time span between 1 January 2011 and the reference date. 3.4.17. Statistical concepts and definitions - Residence one year beforeThis indicates the relationship between the current place of usual residence and the place of usual residence one year prior to the census. Children under one year of age are classified under 'Not applicable'. The topic 'Housing arrangements' covers the whole population and refers to the type of housing in which a person usually resides at the time of the census. This covers all persons who are usual residents in different types of living quarters, or who do not have a usual residence and stay temporarily in some type of living quarters, or who are roofless, sleeping rough or in emergency shelters, when the census is taken. The family nucleus is defined in the narrow sense, that is as two or more persons who belong to the same household and who are related as husband and wife, as partners in a registered partnership, as partners in a consensual union, or as parent and child. Thus a family comprises a couple without children, or a couple with one or more children, or a lone parent with one or more children. This family concept limits relationships between children and adults to direct (first-degree) relationships, that is between parents and children.

Private households may be defined according to the 'housekeeping concept' , or, if this is not possible, Member States may apply the 'household-dwelling' concept. CYSTAT used the housekeeping concept. 2. Household-dwelling concept Private households may be defined according to the 'housekeeping concept' , or, if this is not possible, Member States may apply the 'household-dwelling' concept. The topic 'Tenure status of households' refers to the arrangements under which a private household occupies all or part of a housing unit. 'Conventional dwellings' are structurally separate and independent premises at fixed locations which are designed for permanent human habitation and are, at the reference date, either used as a residence, or vacant, or reserved for seasonal or secondary use. 'Occupied conventional dwellings' are conventional dwellings which are the usual residence of one or more persons at the time of the census. 'Unoccupied conventional dwellings' are conventional dwellings which are not the usual residence of any person at the time of the census. The topic 'Type of ownership' refers to the ownership of the dwelling and not to that of the land on which the dwelling stands. The number of occupants of a housing unit is the number of people for whom the housing unit is the usual residence. 3.4.28. Statistical concepts and definitions - Useful floor spaceUseful floor space is defined as the floor space measured inside the outer walls excluding non-habitable cellars and attics and, in multi-dwelling buildings, all common spaces; or the total floor space of rooms falling under the concept of 'room'. A 'room' is defined as a space in a housing unit enclosed by walls reaching from the floor to the ceiling or roof, of a size large enough to hold a bed for an adult (4 square metres at least) and at least 2 metres high over the major area of the ceiling. 3.4.30. Statistical concepts and definitions - Density standard (floor space)The topic ‘Density standard’ relates the useful floor space in square metres or the number of rooms to the number of occupants, as specified under the topic 'Number of occupants'. The topic ‘Density standard’ relates the useful floor space in square metres or the number of rooms to the number of occupants, as specified under the topic 'Number of occupants'. The water supply system for all occupied conventional dwellings and for all other housing units, was recorded. 3.4.33. Statistical concepts and definitions - Toilet facilitiesThe toilet facilities for all occupied conventional dwellings and for all other housing units, was recorded. 3.4.34. Statistical concepts and definitions - Bathing facilitiesA bathing facility is any facility designed to wash the whole body and includes shower facilities. 3.4.35. Statistical concepts and definitions - Type of heatingA housing unit is considered as centrally heated if heating is provided either from a community heating centre or from an installation built in the building or in the housing unit, established for heating purposes, without regard to the source of energy. 3.4.36. Statistical concepts and definitions - Type of buildingThe topic 'Dwellings by type of building' refers to the number of dwellings in the building in which the dwelling is placed. 3.4.37. Statistical concepts and definitions - Period of constructionThe topic 'Dwellings by period of construction' refers to the year when the building in which the dwelling is placed was completed. |

CYSTAT implemented the innovative Cyprus Integrated Census System (CY-BICS) developed for the 2011 Census of Population, in collaboration with Statistics Netherlands. The aim of CY-BICS was two-fold. Firstly, the aim was to capture the Census data by applying the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) method, and secondly, to incorporate innovative and highly automated technologies for the production of accurate data quickly and efficiently at low cost. CY-BICS has achieved significant savings in cost, estimated at 25% of the total Census budget. The direct data entry, editing and coding in netbooks prevented the manual work following the data collection as well as the printing of paper questionnaires. |

20.3. Data collection | |||
CYSTAT carried out a questionnaire-based data collection: a) Design and testing of questionnaires: Three types of questionnaires were designed so as to comply with the relevant EU legislation as regards the data requirements: a Housing Unit questionnaire, a Household Questionnaire (which included a roster with a listing of all the members of the household and the relationship between each household member with the head of the household), and a Personal questionnaire which was filled in for each individual member of the household. The questionnaires were developed, tested and improved based on pilot surveys that were conducted by CYSTAT. Copies of the final questionnaires may be obtained at the following url: b) Preparation of address lists, preparation of the fieldwork, mapping, publicity: The entire Government-controlled area of Cyprus was delimitated in clear geographical boundaries, respecting the official geographical boundaries (district, municipalities and communities and quarters). A further delimitation took place in smaller areas called enumeration blocks (of area < 1 km2 in urban areas). With the latter, a better organisation of the Census was achieved. Moreover, the collection of data to a very detailed geographical level was made possible, so that an accurate reference to each geographical subdivision could be made. The ArcGIS software package was used for the geographical organisation of the Census: each enumerator was provided with a paper map of the enumeration block (EB) for which s/he was responsible, as well as a listing on the netbook, of all the streets comprising the EB in question. Publicity regarding the conducting of the Census, prior to the Census and while the Census was being conducted, was done in the press and national TV channels. c) Data collection including fieldwork:
The electronic Census questionnaires were developed using the Blaise software, in collaboration with Statistics Netherlands. The data collection was conducted using the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) method, using netbook computers on which the Census electronic Questionnaires were installed. The data collected was recorded and stored on the netbook by each enumerator and at frequent intervals was transferred to the supervisors’ computers at the district offices. Data editing was carried out by the supervisors and assistant district officers. The codification for most of the variables was done automatically on the netbook. The supervisors and assistant district officers had to check the coverage of each enumeration block as well as the quality of the data collected. |
|||
20.4. Data validation | |||
Final data validation: Following the data collection, the final data validation comprised various consistency checks carried out regarding individual variables restrictions, as well as consistency checks between related variables, using the SPSS Statistics software package. |
|||
20.5. Data compilation | |||
The data was collected with the CAPI method, using netbook computers. The codification of all the variables except for the occupation and the economic activity was done automatically on the netbook computers. The data on the occupation and economic activity was collected in descriptive form; the codification for those two variables was conducted a few months following the completion of the Census, using a program developed in Blaise. The codified variables were then linked with the rest of the variables in the main Census Database, based on the key of each record. For the household population, the key was the enumeration block code, the street code, the housing unit ID, the household serial number and the person number (the household member’s serial number); for the institutional population, the key was the enumeration block code, the street code, the Institution ID and the person’s serial number. Record editing for the variables collected was carried out by the enumerators, the supervisors and the assistant district officers while the Census was being conducted. Following the data collection, the final data validation comprised various consistency checks carried out regarding individual variables restrictions, as well as consistency checks between related variables using the SPSS Statistics software package. Furthermore, as regards the generation of households, each individual household had a unique code and a questionnaire had to be filled in for each individual household. The household questionnaire included a roster of all the household members as well as the relationships between each household member with the head of the household. Regarding the generation of families, a program using the SAS software was developed, utilising the roster of each household, in order to generate the variables “Person in a married couple”, “Person in a consensual union”, “Child”, “Lone parent”, “Person living alone”, “Person not living alone (but not belonging to a family nucleus)”. Using the above variables, as SPSS program was developed so as to construct the variables “Family Status”, “Household Status”, “Type of Family Nucleus” and “Type of Private Household”. |
