2011 Population And Housing Census
2011 PHS was conducted in order to obtain the information nationally
needed and internationally recommended on demographic, social,
economic and housing characteristics of the population.
•Census Model:
Combined model was used (by using
population registers and by conducting a big
sample survey)
• Application Method: Face to face interview with netbooks (CAPI)
and by using paper based questionnaires
• Application Period: October-December, 2011

2011 Population And Housing Census
• Main purpose of conducting a survey is to obtain information that
are not available in the ABPRS, other administrative registers and that
can not be obtained from regular household surveys in province and
district level.
•Registers were used to compile data about some basic population
topics, determining the address frame, reducing response burden and
to improve the quality of the census information

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.

Registers Used In Census
• NAD (National Address Database) was used as an
address frame
• Address Based Population Registration System
(ABPRS) was mainly used to avoid multiple records to
reduce response burden
– personal Id numbers
– name/surname, sex, date of birth etc.
• Central population registration System (MERNIS) and
social security records were used to improve the quality
of the census information
– Birth records
– Death records

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

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

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

Future Plans
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
