Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Place of usual residence </span>is where the enumerated individual spends most of his daily rest regardless of circumstantial absences for vacations etc. The implementation of this rule will not be a problem for most individuals. However, in special cases there might be problems.
<br />In these cases, the following instructions to deal with the problems are presented:</p>
<div class="i1">a) For individuals working far from home during the week and come back in the family home on weekends, their family home is to be considered as the place of usual residence regardless of whether their place of work is elsewhere in the country or abroad.<br />b) For primary or secondary education pupils that stay far from home during school terms, their family home is to be considered as their place of usual residence regardless of whether their place of studies is elsewhere.<br />c) For higher education students staying far from home during their studies at college or university, their place of studies is to be considered as their place of usual residence regardless of whether this place is an institution (such as a hall) or a private home.<br />d) An institute [foundation] is considered as the place of usual residence of all boarders during the census taking if they have spent or intend to spend 12 months or more there. Such examples are patients of hospital or ecclesiastical hostels, borders of homes for the aged or convalescent homes, prisoners and boarders of correction centres for the under-age.<br />e) When an individual lives regularly in more than one dwelling during the year, the place where he spends most of the year is to be considered as his place of usual residence.<br />f) Conscripts as well as members of the national forces living in military barracks are considered to be usually residing in them, except the officers living outside the barracks.<br />g) For children living alternately in two households (after their parents divorced), the place where they spend most of the time is to be considered as their place of usual residence. In the cases where this time is spend equally with both parents, as their usual place of residence is to be considered the dwelling they were found during the night of the census taking.<br />h) For homeless, rovers and nomads, the place of enumeration is to be considered as the place of their usual residence.</div><span class="em">Question 8 "Municipality or Commune registration" </span><div class="i1">This question will only be responded to by those who have the Greek citizenship and those who have the Greek and another citizenship. <br />As a general principle, every Greek citizen is written in the population register of the Municipal Unity [former<span class="lang">Capodistria</span>Municipality or Community, according to the Municipal and Community Code 2006]. <br />The question should be clarified because the identity cards are not always informed. <br />For those who state that they are registered in the population register, ''Her municipal unity'', where registered, put X in box 1. For those who state that they are registered in the population register "the Other Democratic Unity'', put X box 2 and write in boxes the Regional Union and Municipal Unit in registries which are registered. The geographic code will be completed by the Office.</div><span class="em">Question 9 "Have you ever resided elsewhere in Greece"</span><div class="i1">The purpose of asking this question is to count the number of people relocated within the boundaries of Greece. The individual will be asked if, before settling in the village where he/she is resident in the Census, resided in another settlement of the country. <br />If the answer is "Yes", it should be completed in the corresponding boxes the date of setup in this settlement. <br />Subsequently, should be answered in the place immediately preceding habitual residence and supplemented the settlement, municipal / local community, municipal unit and the regional unit. <br />If the answer to question 9 is "No," the census will proceed to the next question 10 of the sheet.</div><span class="em">Question 10 "Have you ever resided abroad"</span><div class="i1">The purpose of asking this question is to count the number of people relocated from abroad to Greece. It refers both to foreign migrants that have settled in Greece as well as to Greek migrants that returned home. <br />The question will be answered with an X in the appropriate box. <br />If the answer is 'Yes', then you should: <br />[] Indicate in the corresponding boxes the date that person permanently settled in Greece, <br />[] indicate in the space the place of the previous residence, <br />[] to give an answer with an X in the box corresponding to the main reason why the individual settled in Greece. If answer is 7 "other reason" it should be noted in the relevant space ratio. <br />In the case of persons with successive changes to habitual residence between Greece and abroad, the settlement date in Greece will note the date of the last settlement. <br />If the answer is "No" then the census will proceed to the next question 11 of the sheet.</div>
