Interviewer instructions

From question 2 to question 7 asking about the house/living place that is owned by the
household

Ask the source of house ownership of the household.
"Inheritance" is a sub-category of "Provided by private/individual", but it is split to record
separately. Only consider the house/living place as inherited if a relative has died or has gone far
away and transferred ownership legally.
" Provided by private/individual" to record cases provided (given as a present) by a live
individual or an organization.
For cases of purchase, depending on who collected money or directly transferred
ownership determine whether it was the state, collective or private individuals.
"Built by self": is the household decided and organized to build the house in which they
currently live. In the case of combining capital to build and divide the house, it is still considered
self-made. If the household contributed a small part of the capital to utilise the house, but still has
to rent it, it should not be considered as built by self.
If there are more than 2 houses, record for the main house which they are living in and
use the most
