INTRODUCTION
The main objective of the questionnaire was identifying
technology used in previous and the current round of censuses
and recognising plans of the countries for 2020 census.
Technology is a still rapidly developing area, so this is very
difficult subject.
Results of the survey helped us to identify the technologies used
in the 2010 census round and to formulate the first proposition
of the recommendations for the 2020 census round.
TECHNOLOGIES USED IN PREVIOUS CENSUSES
A.
INTERNET RESPONSE OPTION
IN 2010 CENSUS ROUND INTERNET HAS GAINED MORE POPULARITY IN
COMPARISON TO THE 2000 CENSUS ROUND.
B.
TECHNOLOGY USED IN FIELDWORK:
LAPTOPS
TABLETS
GPS
UPLOADING DATA FROM FIELD TO A DATA CENTER
COMPUTER ASSISTED TELEPHONE INTERVIEWING
AUTOMATED TELEPHONE INTERVIEWING
HAND-HELDS
MOBILE OR CELLULAR PHONES
SMS-TEXTING
GIS
TECHNOLOGIES USED IN PREVIOUS CENSUSES
C.
OCR/OMR TECHNOLOGY
OMR – USED BY 20 COUNTRIES
OCR - USED BY 24 COUNTRIES
declining trend in the use of this technology
TECHNOLOGIES USED IN PREVIOUS CENSUSES
INFRASTRUCTURE
MODERNIZATION/BUILD/PREPARATION
As is clear from the survey, most countries needed about
three years
to prepare the infrastructure for the 2010 census round.
SOFTWARE USED IN DIFFERENT CENSUS PHASES
Most countries in the 2010 census round applied their own software
TECHNOLOGIES USED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCES
OF DATA DURING THE 2010 ROUND OF POPULATION
AND HOUSING CENSUSES
THE NEED FOR CONSTRUCTION OR MODERNIZATION OF IT
INFRASTRUCTURE :
IN MOST CASES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGISTERS USAGE IT WAS
NECESSARY TO MODERNIZE ICT INFRASTRUCTURE IN SELECTED AREAS:
TO COLLECT DATA
TO STORE DATA
TO LINK DATA
TO STORE METADATA
SEVEN COUNTRIES HAVE CONSTRUCTED OR MODERNIZED OF ICT FOR ALL AREAS ABOVE
LISTED.
TECHNOLOGIES USED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCES
OF DATA DURING THE 2010 ROUND OF POPULATION
AND HOUSING CENSUSES
TECHNIQUES USED TO COLLECT DATA FROM ADMINISTRATIVE REGISTERS
DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES WERE USED TO COLLECT ADMINISTRATIVE DATA.
THERE WERE OFTEN COMPLEX METHODS, USING MULTI-MODAL
APPROACHES, TO COLLECT DATA FROM SUCH REGISTERS
ADMINISTRATIVE DATA WERE MOST OFTEN COLLECTED BY ELECTRONIC METHODS:
HARD COPIES - FOR DATASETS OF BIG VOLUME
ELECTRONIC DATA CARRIERS - FOR DATA SETS OF SMALL VOLUME
THE MOST RARELY USED METHOD WAS REMOTE ACCESS AND CAPTURING DATA IN
ELECTRONIC FORM ALLOWING ITS PROCESSING
TECHNOLOGIES USED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCES
OF DATA DURING THE 2010 ROUND OF POPULATION
AND HOUSING CENSUSES
TCHNOLOGY USED IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE DATA INTO
STATISTICAL DATA:
AUTOMATIC TRANSFORMATION AND CLEANSING TECHNIQUES WERE APPLIED WIDELY.
THE HEAVY TECHNIQUES WERE APPLIED MOST OFTEN FOR FOLLOWING METHODS:
VALIDATION
STANDARDIZATION
CONVERSION
THE MORE RARELY ONES WERE USED FOR FOLLOWING METHODS:
PARSING
UPPERCASE (CONVERT ALL LETTERS TO UPPERCASE LETTERS)
GIS AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT THE PROCESS
• SUPPORT THE PROCESS OF PREPARING AND
CONDUCTING THE CENSUS
• FRIENDLY VISUALIZATION OF STATISTICAL
RESULTS
GIS
OVER 70% (35) NSI’s ALREADY
HAS AN UNIT RESPONSIBLE FOR
GIS TECHNOLOGY
13 % (6) NSI’s ALREADY HAVE
FUTURE PLANS TO ESTABLISH
SUCH A UNIT
15% (7) NSI’s DO NOT INTEND TO
CREATE ONE
IN THE 2010 ROUND ALMOST 50 %
(19) OF NSI’s DECIDED TO USE GIS
IN CENSUS FIELD WORK
15 % (6) NSI’s ALREADY HAVE USED
GIS IN THE 2000 CENSUS ROUND
76% (37) NSI’s PLAN TO USE GIS IN
THE 2020 CENSUS ROUND
PRESENTATION
PLANS FOR THE 2020 CENSUS ROUND
ADOPTION OF NEW
TECHNOLOGY
BARRIERS TO ADOPTION
OF NEW TECHNOLOGY
INTERNET
FINANCIAL RESOURCES
LAPTOPS
STAFF RESOURCES
TABLETS
PUBLIC PERCEPTION
HAND-HELDS
INFRASTRUCTURE
MOBILE OR CELLUAR PHONES
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
GIS
GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS
GPS
LIMITED ACCESS TO
ADMINISTRATIVE REGISTERS
OMR/OCR
LACK OF ADMINISTRATIVE
REGISTERS
GIS
RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR
THE 2020 CENSUS ROUND
GIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AND USED AT ALL
STAGES OF THE CENSUS;
WHEREVER IT IS POSSIBLE, DATA SHOULD BE
COLLECTED WITH REFERENCE TO AN ADDRESS;
ONLY AT A LEVEL APPROPRIATE TO THE SKILLS AND
RESOURCES AVAILABLE;

CAUSE AN INCREASE IN THEIR COSTS?
