Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Question 6 "Number of regular rooms except the kitchen"</span>
<br />[Omitted, question 6 as in the form]
<br />In question 6, the number of regular rooms is to be recorded with the exception of the kitchen. In this case, there has to be an answer because there is no regular dwelling without at least one (1) regular room.
<br />If the dwelling has only one regular room used for all household needs, i.e. sleeping, eating etc., this will be recorded as well as the answer 4 is in question 7.
<br />If kitchens are regular rooms they are not to be considered in the total number of the other regular rooms of the dwelling in question 6.
<br />The number of rooms used exclusively for professional purposes is to be also recorded. These rooms, should not be used at the same time or periodically for [p. 14] the household needs (e.g. sleeping, eating, occupied daily from the household etc.) but only for professional purposes.
<br />The dwelling's regular rooms are considered to be used exclusively for professional purposes when they are used as a workshop for the production, repair or assembling of various products or used for storing various products or materials intended for exercising a profession or used as a shop for selling, providing services (office of medical practitioner, hairdresser's etc.) or they are used as professional offices (lawyers, engineers etc.).
<br />If none of the regular rooms is used for professional purposes the answer in this question is 00.
