Interviewer instructions
131. Columns A7-A12
<br />These questions collect information about the place of birth, places of residence, and parental survival of the persons listed in column A1. This portion of the sample questionnaire is inserted on page 30 for easy reference.</p>
<p>135. Column A10: Place of usual living: 5 years ago
<br />Q. Where did the respondent live this time in August 2006?
<br />This question deals with the usual place where each person was living 5 years before the census. If a person was temporarily away from home 5 years before the census, record the place where the person was living, not the place the person was temporarily visiting. Like in above, if someone living in Ngamiland was away from home visiting friends or relatives in Francistown, or if someone was in hospital in Francistown, do not record the place of usual living 5 years ago as Francistown. Use the code for Ngamiland instead. If a child was attending boarding school in Gaborone, 5 years ago and was always with his/her family in Southern district during the school holiday, then the child's place of usual living 5 years ago was Gaborone; he/she was merely visiting Southern district at this time 5 years ago.</p>
<p>For children who are under 5 years of age at the time of enumeration, enter 0000 (because this time 5 years ago they were not born).</p>
<p>For a person who is living in the same housing unit now as 5 years ago, enter 0001. For a person who was living elsewhere in the locality (as indicated on the top of the questionnaire) 5 years ago, enter 0002.</p>
<p>For a person who was living somewhere else in Botswana, write down the name of the census district (as described for A8).</p>
<p>For a person who was living outside Botswana 5 years before the census, enter the name of the country. Lastly write 9999 if the place of usual residence 5 years ago was not known and 7999 if it is known that the person was outside Botswana although the exact country where the person was at that time is not known. Similarly if it was known that the person was somewhere in Botswana even though the exact location is not known, the code to use should be 6699.</p>
