Ajman Statistics Center continues its data collection efforts for the Household Income and Expenditure Survey in the emirate, which commenced on March 1. This survey relies on the latest technological solutions provided by RealSoft Advanced Applications company, aiming to create a clear understanding and insight into the economic situation of households in the emirate. This, in turn, assists decision-makers in making better economic and social decisions by providing them with data on household income from various sources such as salaries, allowances, and income from other economic activities. Additionally, it provides data on how households spend and allocate their funds, enabling a deeper understanding of household priorities and needs.
This survey will continue for twelve months, during which a sample of selected households will be visited, and data will be collected using the Household Income and Expenditure Survey form. A team of field researchers will visit all targeted households across various areas of the emirate, interviewing the head of the household to gather detailed information about the family and its members, in addition to supplementary data related to household income and expenditure.
It is worth mentioning that the Ajman Statistics Center has employed field data collection for this survey using tablet devices, equipped with geographic maps, aerial images, and specialized data collection systems tailored to the nature of the survey. Furthermore, the tablet system includes a feature to send collected data to the central database, allowing the quality assurance and auditing team to conduct reviews before proceeding with the analysis and dissemination of results. In addition to the data collection system, the solution used in the survey also provided a system for managing field operations, enabling defining the work team, distributing tasks among researchers, and reviewing field progress in real-time.
Dr. Yasmin Judi, the Technical Statistics Consultant at Ajman Statistics Center, commended the systems and programs provided by RealSoft, stating, "RealSoft's contribution to the 2024 Household Income and Expenditure Survey by providing advanced electronic systems has greatly contributed to its success and facilitated the process of data collection and analysis. This will enable us to have a better understanding of the economic situation of households in the Emirate of Ajman."
She added, "The accuracy and efficiency demonstrated by the technological solutions provided by RealSoft have proven their high efficiency and effectiveness in addressing the challenges we previously faced. This reflects the deep and continuous commitment of your team towards quality and excellence."
It is noteworthy that the systems used in the survey were designed and built based on Al-Khwarizmi Statistical Survey Platform. This advanced platform specializes in designing and building statistical forms, regardless of their complexity, without the need for programming effort (Low Code – No Code). It is currently utilized by many statistical centers, including statistical programs covering all types of surveys, censuses, and polls, ensuring ease of use, prompt results extraction, and guaranteeing the quality and accuracy of statistical data.

Utilizing Al-Khwarizmi platform for statistical surveys by RealSoft Advanced Applications, Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, in collaboration with the Department of Statistics in Jordan, has commenced the comprehensive census for population, housing, economic establishments, and agricultural holdings in the Aqaba Governorate for the year 2024.

At this stage of the project, a team of field researchers is utilizing systems and services developed by RealSoft. The first phases of the census began at the beginning of March, involving the enumeration and classification of all residences and establishments, along with collecting limited data about households.

Upon completion of the enumerating buildings, housing units, and establishments, preparations will begin for the population counting phase, which will commence in May of this year. During this phase, every household in the governorate will be revisited, and the head of the household will be interviewed to gather detailed data about families across various parts of the governorate to complete the required information.

The Department of Statistics is employing tablets and Al-Khwarizmi platform for statistical surveys for managing census operations, collecting and verifying statistical data, and sending it to the central database. Additionally, they are using a fieldwork system that facilitates supervision, monitoring, workload distribution among researchers, and field achievement review.

It is noteworthy that Al-Khwarizmi is used by several statistical centers in the region to automate all stages of the census, ensuring ease of use, and quick results extraction with high quality and accuracy of statistical data.

The Department of Statistics and Community Development (DSCD) in Sharjah Emirate has commenced data collection for the Household Income and Expenditure Survey in the Emirate, leveraging the latest technological solutions provided by RealSoft Advanced Applications. This survey aims to build an understanding of the economic situation of households in the Emirate, facilitating better economic and social decision-making by providing data on household income from various sources such as salaries, allowances, and income from other economic activities.

It's worth noting that the DSCD has adopted tablet devices for this survey. The researchers have been equipped with tablets featuring geographical maps and aerial images, displaying the locations of surveyed households. These tablets are also equipped with specialized data collection systems tailored to the survey's nature. The collected data is transmitted to the central database, allowing the quality assurance and audit team to review and audit the data before analysis and publication. Additionally, the provided solution will offer a system for managing field operations, enabling field management to define work teams, distribute tasks among researchers, and review field progress in real-time.

The systems used in this survey are designed and built based on Al-Khwarizmi platform for statistical surveys.
