Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="CL92A034">[1.] Indicate the type of dwelling:<br /><br />Mr. Enumerator, in this question indicate, by filling in the corresponding circle, the type of dwelling in question. In order to help you we will specify the characteristics for some of the types of dwellings mentioned in the Census Questionnaire, which can be Private or Collective.<br /><br />A. Private Dwelling<br /><br />1. House: A permanent building with a direct entrance from the street, garden, or lot (cottage, duplex, hut, summerhouse, country house, etc.)<br /><br />2. Apartment in a building: A dwelling located in a building with a separate entrance from a hallway, stairway, or other common space.<br /><br />3. Rooms in an old house or high-density slum dwelling: Is a room or group of rooms that make up an independent dwelling. They are located along a common-use hallway and have shared facilities. <br /><br />Also considered within this alternative are buildings rented by rooms or groups of rooms and which have shared facilities.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 13]</span><br /><br />4. Improved shack, hut with a slanted roof [<span class="lang">mediagua</span>]: Is a semi-permanent building made of light material (wood). It is normally made up of one or more rooms, generally with a dirt or wood floor. The roof can have more than one slope and the toilet facilities (W.C.) generally are located outside the dwelling.<br /><br />5. Shack, cabin or rustic hut: is typically a rural building, separate or independent, made of light materials (clay with straw, reeds, sticks and mud, dried stone [<span class="lang">pirca</span>], etc.).<br /><br />B. Collective Dwelling<br /><br />Indicate, by filling in the corresponding circle, the type of collective dwelling in question (Boardinghouse, Hotel, Boarding School, etc.) and continue immediately to section III People in the Household.<br /><br />Don't forget that a collective dwelling is any premises used as a place of lodging by a group of unrelated people who share the dwelling or part of it and live together for reasons of health, work, religion, study, discipline, etc.<br /><br />Remember that, in a building where you find a collective dwelling, in addition to the collective household one or more private households may exist, and these households can correspond to private dwellings. If this should occur, use separate questionnaires for each dwelling, giving them different numbers.<br /><br />Example: Hotel Administrator, School Headmaster, etc.<br /><br />[The above directions refer to a picture of question 1 in this section of the enumeration form.]<br /></svar>
