12.2 User satisfaction | |
Since 2009, the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic has been conducting surveys of customer satisfaction with its products and services at two-year intervals. Surveys aim to gather information about users' interest and opinion on the provision and quality of statistical products and services. The obtained information is a valuable source for directing further activities of the SO SR. The results of the satisfaction survey in 2017 are available on the website of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic at: https://slovak.statistics.sk/wps/portal/ext/aboutus/marketing/survey.of.satisfaction In this survey, the field of municipal waste statistics was linked to other environmental statistics as well as agriculture statistics, and therefore does not accurately reflect satisfaction with this particular statistic. However, communication with customers for specific requirements shows that users of municipal waste statistics are mostly satisfied.

|
12.3 Completeness | |

13 Accuracy and reliabilityUp | |
---|---|
13.1 Overall accuracy | |
The overall accuracy of municipal waste statistics is very good. The SO SR makes a great effort to prevent the occurrence of errors in the data and performs consistent data verification to detect errors.
|
|
13.2 Sampling error | |
Not applicable. The survey for municipal waste is exhaustive, not selective.
|
|
13.3 Non-sampling error | |
To prevent non-sampling errors, i. errors in the process of collection and processing The Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic has integrated in the integrated statistical information system (ISIS) logical and data checks at the level of micro-data as well as at the level of aggregated data, which are performed during data collection and processing. The electronic questionnaire itself provides many arithmetic and logical controls between variables that we distinguish between serious and informative. In the event of serious errors in the form, this is not accepted and, in consultation with the reporting agent, is corrected to be correct and entered into processing. With these tools we try to minimize measurement errors (incorrect data provided by respondents), unit and item non-response errors. In the municipal waste survey for non-responders, data are not imputed or calculated. We get the completed questionnaire from municipalities in case of no response.
The return rate of completed ŽP 6-01 reports is very high, in case of non-answers, the municipality is affected approached and requested to provide additional data. Discovery rate of return
Item non-responses do not occur, filling in relevant items is ensured built-in automatic checks during data collection.

|
18.4 Data validation | |
Data validation is embedded in the integrated statistical information system of the SO SR. The following checks are distinguished when collecting data:
Data are recorded by reporting agents - municipalities in the statistical information system. The system automatically checks the recorded data by using programmed algorithms and reporting significant and informative errors. Completed statistical forms are checked at KP in Nitra. If a KP error is detected in Nitra, it contacts the municipality concerned and asks for data correction or explanation. Subsequently, additional checks are carried out on the collected data at the headquarters of the SO SR, e.g. comparison with data from previous reference years at the aggregate level for regions, for waste types, for loading activities and so on.

|
18.5 Data compilation | |
The municipal waste survey is exhaustive. The collected data are summarized by individual classifications. |
