Data Availability
The amount of data and cutting of funds concerning payment of staff
lead to the following thoughts:
A complete entry of the data will not be able to achieve and therefore
the data is divided in 20 samples of 5 percent each. The entry of one
sample (beginning with only one sample) leads to an already usable data
set and additional samples can be added all the time. Settlements are
the unit for sampling, because households as a smaller unit would lead
to a much higher expenditure of time in the sampling process. In this
way it is also possible to make statements about whole settlements,
while sampling on the household level in combination with the small
size of most of the settlements would lead to a higher insecurity of
statements concerning separate settlements. Sampling on the basis of
even larger administrative units (Bezirk, Kreis, Landgemeinde) would
diminish the representation for the whole area due to a higher regional
concentration of the data. The samples were created in such
a way that an equal number of settlements of the seven prefectures
(Bezirke) are in each sample (for getting geographic equality).
Settlements, that were deviant from of the average demographic picture
of Albanian settlements in 1918 (according to Franz Seiner’s published
statistics), are exempted from these 20 samples. Criteria for these
settlements
are:
- a share of at least 20 percent of an ethnic minority
within the population (95.9 percent of the population were Albanians)
- a share of at least 20 percent of Orthodox Christians
within the population (only 8 percent of the population were Orthodox
Christians, the majority of them were living in the districts, where
the data was destroyed)
- a share of at least 20 percent or 150 persons of
non-agricultural population (84.2 percent of the population were
engaged in agriculture)
- a share of at least 60 percent of one sex
- cities (there were only 7 cities in this area, their
population was 12 percent of the whole population, the material for
Berat was destroyed)
- more than 2,000 inhabitants (only 9 settlements)
- an average household size of below 3.5 or above 10
persons
The distribution of the settlements to all these criteria can be seen
in the following table (some of the settlements belong to more than one
criterion):
