Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="FJ86A033"><span class="em">Question 3 - Number of rooms</span><br /><br />205. A room is a space in the living quarters which is enclosed by walls and which is large enough to contain a bed for an adult.<br /><br />206. We are concerned with rooms used for living -- that is bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, servant's quarters and kitchens. Do not include toilets, bathrooms, passageways or verandahs.<br /><br />207. If the household shares one or more rooms with another, write the number of rooms for its exclusive use and then the number shared -- for example, '3 rooms + 1 shared kitchen'.<br /></svar>
