Warsaw - Part 1

Data were collected for a special sample of the Warsaw population in September-November 1994, using a questionnaire identical to the questionnaire used for the national survey with the exception of a few questions added to the end of the questionnaire for methodological studies being undertaken by the Polish research group (these are shown in Section IV). As per our agreement, the Warsaw sample was of a size such that, combined with the Warsaw cases from the national sample, it would yield a minimum of 1,500 cases for Warsaw. In fact, 1360 cases were collected in the special survey and 143 cases from the national survey were from Warsaw, for a total of 1,503 cases. The special sample is distinguished from the Warsaw portion of the main sample by the variable WSAMPLE, which has code 401 for the Warsaw cases from the national sample and code 402 for the cases from the special sample.

The codes for REGION, DISTRICT, CITY, and the LOC and TER variables are consistent with the codes used for the Polish national sample. All cases for Warsaw have REGION code 1, DISTRICT code 1, and CITY codes 01001 - 01013, corresponding to the seven districts of Warsaw. These are:

01001 - Mokotow
01003 - Ochota
01005 - Praga Poludnie
01007 - Praga Polnoc
01009 - Srodmiescie
01011 - Wola
01013 - Zoliborz

In addition, a special variable, TER_CODE, is used to identify small geographical areas within Warsaw. TER_CODE is an alphanumeric variable that identifies the map page and sector of the map, Warszawa Plan Miasta: Skala ok. 1:18,000 (1992). For example, code 15A3 correspondes to map number 15, sector A-3. Detailed geography was coded to map sectors since, in the judgement of the Polish team, no adequate geographic information was available from the Polish Statistical Office. Users of the small area data are advised to consider GIS techniques to convert the map sectors into more highly aggregated units, particularly as statistical data for such units become available.

This map is shown in the following pages. The first map shows the Warsaw region. The second map shows the City of Warsaw and the location of each of 39 small area maps. The remaining pages are the small area maps, with the map number shown in the upper left hand or upper right hand corner.
