Data Processing of the 2010 Population and Housing Census National Statistical Office, Thailand 15-19 September 2008, Bangkok, Thailand
DATA CAPTURING CONTENT • Hardware & Software of ICR System • TELEform / ABBYY Functions • Step of ICR System in NSO • Specific questionnaires for ICR System
DATA CAPTURING ICR for The Population Census 2000 NSO was firstly used ICR System to process the Population Census questionnaires in 2000 by scanning the 16 million households (16 million Forms) which spent only 8 months to process the raw data instead of 18 months by using Key in Data System.
DATA CAPTURING TELEform Hardware & Software System in 2000 TELEform Software System TELEform Hardware System • NetServer for TELEform Server (1) • NetServer for Database Server (1) • Reader Modules Workstations (21) • Verifier Modules Workstations (55) • Scanner Control Workstations (6) • Scanner Fujitsu M4099D (6) TELEform 6.2 Elite Enterprise Edition Components: • TELEform Designer • TELEform Reader • TELEform Verifier
DATA CAPTURING ICR System in 2003 ICR System in NSO (Thailand) can be divided into 2 parts : • TELEform Software System • ABBYY Software System
DATA CAPTURING ICR for The Agricultural Census 2003 NSO hired ABBYY Software to process about 25% of The Agricultural Census 2003 questionnaires that were totally 5.8 million households (24 million forms).

DATA CAPTURING TELEform & ABBYY Functions
Template Questionnaire DATA CAPTURING TELEform / ABBYY Designer Function To create template form by fix field boxes on questionnaire.
DATA CAPTURING TELEform Reader / ABBYY Administration Function • To evaluate the questionnaires • Export the corrected questionnaires to a data file • Send the unclear questionnaires to TELEform/ABBYY Verifier Function for correcting and transferring the corrected questionnaires to a data file • Store scanned images
DATA CAPTURING TELEform / ABBYY Verifier Function • To correct questionnaires that contain mismarked or illegible fields • The corrected questionnaires are automatically exported to a data file
DATA CAPTURING Functions Speed Scanning speed support A7 to A3 paper sizes • Simplex is provided 90 papers / minute. (A4 portrait) • Duplex is provided 180 images / minute.(A4) NSO questionnaires projects are mostly printed with A3 (297 x 420 mm.) paper sizes.
DATA CAPTURING Step of ICR System in NSO
DATA CAPTURING Step of ICR System in NSO Scan and Forms Distribution : The questionnaires are scanned in each Block / Village and created Multi Page Image Files. Forms Evaluation : The questionnaire images are evaluated. The corrected questionnaires which skipped Verifier Workstations and directly exported to Database server.
DATA CAPTURING Step of ICR System in NSO (cont’) Forms Verification : The unclear questionnaires are needed to review and corrected it in Verifier Workstations before transferring to Database server. Data Export : • Link a data file from Database server to IBM Mainframe System • Store Scanned image files to CD.

DATA CAPTURING Specific Questionnaires for ICR System
DATA CAPTURING Specific questionnaires for ICR System • The questionnaires must be designed and printed in quality of paper, specific colour answer field boxes (blue, green, red) • To record the questionnaires should be used at least 2HB pencil • To distribute and collect as well as return questionnaires should be done with caution.
Reduce Reduce Increase Efficient DATA CAPTURING ICR Benefits • Reduce Cost • Reduce Time • Efficient Data Capture • Increase Data Accuracy
DATA CAPTURING Major Problems Encountered in 2000 Census • Strictly designed questionnaires : Paper, size, color,figure and answer field boxes • Record questionnaires should be fixed pencil and handwriting • Distribution and return questionnaires should be carful
DATA EDITING EDITING & TABULATION
DATA PROCESSING STEP Questionnaires ICR Machine Edit Tab/Report Listing Validate Data (Manual, Cold deck, Hot deck) Error? No Tabulation & Report Yes Checking Error & List Data Table Checking No Yes Comparing with questionnaire images Accept?
DATA PROCESSING STEP Editing Process • Validity: Check characteristics of the message structure. • Possible code: Check in each field which the out-of-range fields values is shown in asterisk (*) code.
DATA PROCESSING STEP Editing Process (cont’) • Consistency: Check inconsistent values within record and across record. Messages are shown the related conditional codes. All error is printed in continuous paper forms to be considerated and validated by subject matter until no messages error found. • Imputation: Automatic editing programs.
DATA PROCESSING STEP Tabulation Process • Tabulation: Report summary data which can be processed after data completely cleaned for subject matter to analyze the results of output.
