Question 6. What is the quantity of rooms that the dwelling has?:
This question [question 6] is related to the quantity of rooms in the dwelling and of these, how many are habitually used for sleeping and how many are used exclusively as bedrooms.
In this question the form of annotation changes, since they are not marked with an X for the answer, but you note a quantity (with numbers), which is given to us by the interviewee. You should take into account that you should note two digits, so therefore you will fill in a zero on the left when the number is not higher than nine.
Considering the generally the rooms are the spaces in the dwelling called bedroom, dormitory or room, living room, dining room, entryway, closed porch, garages, etc., whenever these same rooms are separated from each other with fixed walls that are two meters high or higher, and that in addition they have a surface area of at least four square meters and the kitchen if its size permits the placement of a table with chairs for eating in it.
Do not include the following as a room, even if it has more than four square meters of surface space: bathrooms, closet, interior hallways, open galleries, sanitary services, open portals, patios, balconies, terraces, etc.
b. How many rooms are habitually used for sleeping?
[ _ _ ]
In B) consider those that despite not being bedrooms are used for this purpose at the moment of the census.
Be aware that these are rooms that are used for sleeping, which means, the spaces of the dwelling that you determined as rooms in part A) of this question and that are used for the mentioned purpose.
In this manner, a living room that fulfills the condition of room, and in which a person habitually sleeps, would be a room used for sleeping.
In the same manner, you will include all of the bedrooms, even when some of them are not used by their occupants because there are more bedrooms than are needed.
If, in a dwelling, they inform you that they have two bedrooms, but in addition they habitually use the living room and dining room, you should note under rooms used for sleeping: (04).
