2.2 Data Collection
Despite the difficulty of collecting data during the COVID-19 Pandemic, all-out efforts
were exerted to collect data, whether through direct visits to official institutions, when
possible, or by international calls, emails, Fax, and official websites.
The following steps are performed during the data collection process:
1 - The team contacted several Palestinian ministries to obtain needed data, including
the Ministry of Local Government, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the
Palestinian Meteorology Department, the Crossings and Borders Authority, the
Civil Aviation Authority, and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.2 - Collect more data from two Jordanian sources, including the Ministry of Tourism
and Antiquities, and the Jordanian Central Bureau of Statistics.3 - Collect all data related to the study area from websites like Geomolg, Palestine's
Road and Transportation Master Plan, as well as Google Maps.
