Question 2 - Type of living quarter:
The observation of this variable will permit to classify the dwellings according to the nature of the group of individuals that are occupying them.
As Familiar dwelling we understand all dwellings that by the way they were constructed, or by the way it is being used, it is destined to shelter, usually, only one family, even knowing that several may leave in that space.
The familiar dwellings can be of the following two types:
Conventional familiar dwelling
Division or set of divisions and their annexes that by making part of a classical building, meaning on a permanent structure, or being structurally separated of that, and by the way that it was constructed, reconstructed, enlarged or transformed is destined to be inhabited and on the census moment it was not being used entirely for other purposes.
The conventional familiar dwelling must also have an independent entrance give access to the street or to a common area in the building.
Non-Conventional dwelling
Place that on the census moment it is inhabited by individuals and that by the precarious construction type does not entirely satisfies the requirements to be a conventional familiar dwelling.
We include in this type:
Shacks, rudimentary wooden houses, mobile housing units, dwellings in a permanent building not designed for habitation and other inhabited places.
As collective living quarters we understand every place that by the way it was constructed or transformed it is destined to shelter more than one family and on the census moment it is occupied by one or more individuals being residents or just presents and not residents.
In the collective dwellings we can include two types of Dwelling: Hotel or similar and Institutions.
In this last type we can identify the following sub-types of dwellings according to their purposes: Social support, Education, Health, Religious, Military, Prison, Work or other types.
Note: If you are in presence of a collective living quarter, identify its type and the filling-in of the questionnaire is over.
3.3.4. Classical (conventional) family questionnaire
What is a "Classical family" (private household)?
As for classical family we understand the group of persons that reside in a same dwelling and have family relationships in between them, "de jure" or "de facto", and they may occupy the totality or part of the living quarter; or an independent person that occupies part or the totality of a dwelling.
Type of institutions:
Health institutions - All patients interned at the institution as well as the service personnel if not returning to their houses before 12 o'clock of the census day.
If the health institution has personnel residing there they should not go in to a collective questionnaire but in a classical family questionnaire, if they constitute a classical family (in these cases the correspondent individual questionnaires must be filled-in).
Educational institutions and other student institutions - For all students that stay in school overnight a collective questionnaire must be filled-in.
For residents, filled-in a classical or institutional family questionnaire, depending on the situations, not a collective questionnaire, and in those cases also fill-in the correspondent individual questionnaires.
Prison establishments - All individuals in prison at less than a year ago, as long as they have family with whom to live usually, they must considered residents with their family, being inscribed in the collective questionnaire because they are considered present but not resident.
The individuals in prison at more than a year, or without family with whom to usually reside, must be considered residents in the prison establishment and make part of institutional family. For all these ones we must fill-in an institutional family questionnaire and correspondent individual questionnaires.
Military institutions - This enumeration will be done by the military structure itself.
