Interviewer instructions
A room in a housing unit is said to be a room if it is surrounded by walls, if it has a height of at least 2 meters measured from the floor to the ceiling, and if it has an area of at least 4 square meters that can accommodate an adult's bed. In this question, the total number of rooms that the household is utilizing for various purposes is required and thus, the enumerator should note that the definition given above is valid for housing units having more than one room.
-Do not count passageways, verandas, lobbies, kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, garages, or storerooms as rooms even if they meet the above criteria.
-A room used for both eating and sleeping counts as one room.
-If a room is divided by fabric, folding screens, cartons, plastic, or other temporary material, the room is considered as one room.
-Minor rooms in the dwelling should be excluded from the room count. These include bathrooms and toilets, storerooms, carport/garage, and so on.
-However, you should include all other rooms, including rooms that are usually unoccupied, such as those that are reserved for guests. If there are rooms that are not being used/are not occupied, they should be included or counted. For example, if two people live in a house with seven bedrooms, all bedrooms should be counted.
Note that many houses in rural areas will consist of a single room. These should be included in the room count. All of the qualifying rooms in the separate houses of dwellings made up of several separate structures should be counted.
