<br />The type of toilet used is an important indicator of the hygienic conditions in which the household lives. For a good classification of households, the types of toilets are defined in advance.
<br />Flushing is the type of toilet where water flushes waste through pipelines. This water can come from a tap or be poured by means of buckets. For these types of toilets, the waste 'goes' directly to the sewer or into a pit that will be emptied when it is full.
<br />The AR will circle code ''11'' (Flushing connected to the sewer) if the waste goes directly to the sewer and code ''12'' (flushing with septic pit) if it is a pit that receives the waste through a pipeline (pipe or tube installed for the circumstance) originating from the commode.
<br />The codes ''21'', ''22'' and ''23'' are allocated respectively to households using covered latrines, those not covered, and those with improved ventilated.
<br />Dry latrines or pits are holes dug to receive the waste directly;
<br />They can be covered or not.
<br /><span class="pg">[p. 60]</span>
<br />[Illustrations are omitted].
<br />Improved ventilated latrines are toilets that, in addition to the pit, are equipped with additional facilities (e.g. a pipe) that allow gas to be evacuated.
<br />For households declaring that they use <span class="ital">public buildings </span>''toilets in markets, schools and so on'', the AR will circle code ''31''.
<br />If the respondent replies that the members of the household go to a corner of the compound or use bowls, buckets or other chamber pots, the AR will circle the code ''41'', which corresponds to the modality ''in nature''.
<br />For any other means declared, different from those declared above, the AR will circle the
<br />code ''88'', corresponding to ''other'' modality.
