Interviewer instructions

5.21 Question 3.3: Number of rooms

What is required here is the total number of rooms occupied by that particular household. The term "room" is taken to include those used for general living purposes such as bedrooms, dining rooms, drawing rooms, family rooms, studios, helpers' rooms. Include also rooms used for professional and business services. Exclude garages, bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, verandahs, passages, closets, foyers, and the like. Where partitions of a durable nature are utilized the partitioned area is to be regarded as a room. Use of curtains to separate sections of a room is not considered however. Include in the count, all rooms as defined even if they are not all used on a regular basis.

Each room must be counted only once. If some rooms are used by more than one household, count and assign such rooms to the household that is enumerated first.
