REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Turk. Stat Monitoring field application • Daily and weekly reports were taken from central system to monitor 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 ROs for approvement • Mail group was created to communicate with field staff.

REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Turk.

REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Turk. Stat Advantages of the Methodology • 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 Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Group 12/14/2021 20
REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Turk. Stat Disadvantages of the Methodology • 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 Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Group 12/14/2021 21
REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Turk. Stat 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 Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Group 12/14/2021 22
REPUBLIC OF TURKEY TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Turk. Stat Future 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 Demography Statistics Department Population and Migration Statistics Group 12/14/2021 23
