Interviewer instructions

IF DON'T KNOWNN WRITE KB

Ask about the value of the entire residential area of household members. This
residential area may include a part or the whole of a house/apartment or many houses/apartments.57
The value of the residence is the combined value of the house price and residential land
that belongs to the house, directly serving its daily life activities. The house value is linked to its
location. For example: If a house is located on a street, its value is much bigger than that located
in a hamlet; or in a multi-storey building, the value of the lower room/apartments is often bigger
than that of the higher ones.
Value of residential land that does not directly serve the household’s daily activities such
as, garden, pond used for production (including agriculture and non-agriculture) is not included
