organizational, control and monitoring aspects. Since the 1990 Census, INEGI
has been acquiring experience in the development of systems for these tasks
and for the year 2020 it is proposed to use three of them:
1. The Conformation of Areas of Responsibility System, which makes it
possible to distribute equal workloads to the operational structure,
automatically generating groups or segments of urban blocks or rural
localities grouped by their number of dwellings and communication
routes, among other factors, managing to generate areas of operational
responsibility with an optimal collection order. Also, it allows staff to
make manual adjustments to the conformations, applying their
experience and knowledge in the field.
2. The Training System has the purpose of providing the operational
personnel with the capacities and tools necessary for the execution of
their functions, through automated learning modules that contain the
teaching materials. This system allows giving remote advice, sending the
learning activities and monitor progress in training.
3. The OPERA System, used in several stages of the information generation
process, allows for timely follow-up of the progress in shaping the
operational structure, systematizing the recruitment and selection of
personnel, from the registration of applicants via Internet until their
hiring, and follow up the logistics of the operation by controlling the
materials and resources necessary for field activities and management
(vehicles, computers, questionnaires, brochures, among others).
The collection of information covers the set of activities to obtain data of
each unit of observation, based on the program and the established work
procedures, with an operational structure and controls that promote
effectiveness in each of the actions. This implies the execution of previously
designed schemes for data collection, such as the preparation and distribution
of support materials (cartography, manuals, instructions and catalogues), the
integration of human resources, communication and consultation, under a
detailed program of activities, an organizational structure and controls that
should be continuously monitored from the planning phase until the closure
of the census.
During this stage, the Censal Administrator application is used, in which the
workloads of each operative staff are visualized and managed, allowing to
reassign them if necessary. It includes a Capture Module for the timely
registration of each building (Buildings List), Urban Surroundings
Questionnaire, Locality Questionnaire and short and long questionnaires for
the inhabited private dwellings. In this application local reports of progress
and coverage can be obtained; it includes a Supervision Module in which a
sampling of areas for the revision of the classification of the dwellings and
inhabited condition is implemented, and through verification mechanisms it is
