230 years history of Polish statistics

• 1789 - first countrywide population census in Poland

(based on registers!! )

– The register of nobility and burghers

– The parish register of births and deaths

• 1918 - establishment of Central Statistical Office (CSO)

• 100 years of continued existence of CSO Poland.

Combining Census a combination of data from administrative

sources

(full survey covering basic demographic variables)

with data acquired from

ad-hoc 20% sample survey.

In 2011 - Mixed Model for Population and

Housing Census

Census in 2011

Benefits of resigning from paper forms for mobile applications:

better data security,

user-friendly application,

better quality of data in the form,

additional quality control of data from registers.

7stat.gov.pl

Plan:

• obtainment more responses in CAWI channel – at least 60%,

• usage a clear, easy, short census form (at most about 20questions) and a friendly IT environment,

• popularization of the census based on modern tools andcommunication channels,

Effect:

• implementation of a full survey instead of a representativeone,

• 5-fold reduction in the number of enumerators in relation tothe 2002 census (traditional census),

• reducing the costs of the census in relation to the 2011census.

Plans after 2021

• Improve and use of registers and update them after

2024 for other statistical purposes

• Participation in the work of international task forces and

working groups on the methodology of future censuses

• Active efforts carried out on the international forum to

increase the scope of information sources to the census,

for example Big Data

• For that purpose, the reference geodetic data obtained from the State geodetic and cartographic resources, contained:

• Administrative division boundaries,

• Geographical Names,

• Topographic Data Base,

• Cadastral Data,

• Ortophotomap

were used.

The good cooperation between NMA and NSI is crucial !!

Address points database

• address points with x,y coordinates

Administrative and Statistical division boundaries

• Statistical regions

• Census areas

Statistical address points

and building location

address locations for buildings with dwellings

needed for spatial analysis of census data in Poland

• to navigate enumerators

• to visualize census results on maps

The TERYT system as the basis for

geocoding of address register and building

register on x,y coordinates

Address point identification system

Address point identification system

Best practice of geocoding

• Geocode as precisely as it is possible;

• Collect statistical data with reference to an address points (the best!) or smallest enumeration area (EA);

• All address points are referenced to pair of x,y coordinates;

• Official statistics no longer limited to publishing data for administrative o statistical units;

• Remember: x,y geocoding is a fundament for multidimensional spatial analyses.

20

x,y geocoding

x,y geocoding is crucial in all three stages of the census:

• the preparatory works,

• management of enumerators during the fields works,

• and for multidimensional spatial analysis.

X,Y geocoding eliminate not only the necessity to recalculate

data when administrative boundaries are changing but also

allowing easy aggregation and processing of statistical data in

any chosen area - even for the GRID based dissemination,

Using Geospatial component in the census:

GIS support for the dispatcher:

• presenting the sampled address points on maps

• displaying the interviewer's on-line position on maps

•Assigned Tasks

•Started Tasks

•Completed Tasks

Enumerator: main duties

• Visiting all assigned holdings

– Filling electronic questionnaires

• Daily synchronisation

• Contact with the supervisorin terms of task scheduling

• Adding newly identified holdings

Alarm procedure

• In emergency situations, enumerators have a possibilityof sending an alarm signal to their supervisors

• Alarm notice is sentto the supervisor applicationand via SMS to the supervisor
