Characteristics of the dwelling

The series of questions found on page two of the questionnaire will permit you to find out the principal characteristics of the dwellings: the materials that they are made out of, the number of rooms that the dwelling consists of and the use the rooms are given, the available services, ownership of the dwelling and the cooking fuel that they use.




6. Toilet

For census purposes, a dwelling has a toilet if it is used only by the occupants of the dwelling. If the toilet is used by persons from different dwellings, such as the case of communities, the dwelling is considered to not have a toilet.

If the dwelling has a toilet and also a water deposit to remove the sewage water, then the toilet is considered to have a water connection.

If the toilet is a sewage hole or a latrine and it is only used by the occupants of the dwelling, then the dwelling is considered to have a toilet, but not a water connection.
