Agricultural Census, 2010 - Slovenia

Abstract
---------------------------

A census is another term for a complete statistical observation. This means that the observation includes all units of the observed population, which is studied by statistical methods. Therefore, censuses are important and extensive statistical surveys and are carried out over longer intervals. All this also applies to the census of agriculture. Agricultural census is carried out every ten years, and it is important primarily because the comparison of data from several censuses gives insight into the structural changes of Slovenian agriculture in the last ten years and between the decades. The last agricultural census was carried out by the Statistical Office of Slovenia in 2010. Since this census was conducted on the basis of uniform methodology of the European Union, the findings may be compared with the results of the agricultural holdings in other Member States of the European Union. This gives special value to census results. Data users in the area of agriculture cannot wait to receive these data, also because only in this extensive survey every ten years sufficiently detailed data are collected to show the results at lower territorial levels, for example at the level of regions and municipalities.

Universe
---------------------------

The statistical unit was the agricultural holding, defined as a single unit, both technically and economically, which has a single management and which undertakes agricultural activities within the economic territory of the EU, as either its primary or secondary activity.

Kind of data
---------------------------

Census/enumeration data [cen]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The AC 2010 was conducted on a complete enumeration basis. The list of agricultural holdings was fully based on the Statistical Farm Register (SFR).

Mode of data collection
---------------------------

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument
---------------------------

One consolidated electronic questionnaire was used to collect information for both the AC 2010 and the SAPM. The census questionnaire covered all 16 core items recommended in the WCA 2010. The following data were collected in the AC 2010:

• land owned and land used by agricultural holdings
• crop areas
• horticulture
• irrigation
• number of livestock by categories
• labour force
• other gainful activities
• forestry
• machinery and equipment
• support for rural development
• data on agricultural production methods

Cleaning operations
---------------------------

a. DATA PROCESSING AND ARCHIVING
SAS was used for data editing and estimation of sampling errors. The imputations were applied using the following methods: logical correction, hot deck, structural hot deck and average values.

b. CENSUS DATA QUALITY
The AC 2010 results were reconciled with all the available data sources. If data were inconsistent, they were examined and, if necessary they were revised. Records from some interviews were checked using CATI.

Data appraisal
---------------------------

The census results were disseminated gradually. The first preliminary census results were released in September 2010, followed by the dissemination of census information in March and September 2011. The final AC results, including the detailed data in the web database, were disseminated in March 2012. The dissemination of the AC data was done mainly through electronic publications and the Internet portal. In addition, researchers may have access to the AC 2010 micro data under specific conditions. Instructions concerning access to and use of statistically protected microdata are available on the SURS website.

{'Abstract': '概要
---------------------------
人口普查，亦称全面统计调查，涵盖了对观测总体所有单位的观察。这意味着该观察包括所有观测人口单位，并采用统计方法进行研究。因此，人口普查是重要的、广泛的统计调查，且通常在较长的间隔内进行。这同样适用于农业普查。农业普查每十年进行一次，其重要性主要在于通过对比数个普查的数据，可以洞察斯洛文尼亚农业在过去十年以及不同十年间的结构性变化。上次农业普查由斯洛文尼亚统计局于2010年进行。鉴于此次普查基于欧盟统一的统计方法，其发现可以与其他欧盟成员国农业经营体的结果进行比较，因此普查结果具有特殊价值。农业领域的数据使用者迫切期待这些数据的到来，也因为在每十年一次的广泛调查中，才能收集到足够详细的数据，以展示较低地域层次的结果，例如地区和市镇层面。

地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
全国覆盖

分析单位
---------------------------
家庭

总体
---------------------------
统计单位为农业经营体，定义为在技术经济上作为一个单一单位，具有单一管理，并在欧盟经济领土内从事农业活动，无论是其主要活动还是次要活动。

数据类型
---------------------------
普查/登记数据 [cen]

抽样程序
---------------------------
2010年农业普查基于全面登记的方式进行。农业经营体清单完全基于统计农场登记册（SFR）。

数据收集方式
---------------------------
计算机辅助个人访谈 [capi]

研究工具
---------------------------
使用了一份综合的电子问卷来收集2010年农业普查和SAPM的信息。普查问卷涵盖了WCA 2010推荐的16个核心项目。2010年农业普查收集了以下数据：

• 农业经营体拥有的土地和使用的土地
• 作物面积
• 园艺
• 灌溉
• 各类牲畜的数量
• 劳动力
• 其他有偿活动
• 林业
• 机器和设备
• 农村发展支持
• 农业生产方法数据

数据清理操作
---------------------------

a. 数据处理与归档
使用SAS进行数据编辑和抽样误差估计。应用以下方法进行插补：逻辑校验、热补、结构热补和平均值。

b. 普查数据质量
2010年农业普查的结果与所有可用数据来源进行了核对。如果数据不一致，则进行检查，并在必要时进行修订。使用CATI对一些访谈记录进行了检查。

数据评估
---------------------------
普查结果逐步发布。第一次初步普查结果于2010年9月发布，随后在2011年3月和9月发布了普查信息。包括网络数据库中详细数据的最终AC结果于2012年3月发布。AC数据的发布主要通过电子出版物和互联网门户进行。此外，研究人员在特定条件下可以获取2010年农业普查的微观数据。有关访问和使用受统计保护的微观数据的说明可在SURS网站上找到。'}
