Interviewer instructions
18. Building: A building is an independent construction which is made up of one or more rooms and other areas. This construction is covered by a roof and generally closed in with exterior and adjoining walls going from the foundations to the roof.
However, this construction can be formed only by a room holding up a structure of some kind, without having permanent walls. It is necessary to consider, furthermore, as making up a main building, the detached rooms such as the kitchen, storehouse, and other small structures in the courtyard of the construction.
19. Residential unit or dwelling: Consider all rooms or all groups of rooms as the residential unit or dwelling which, inside a larger construction, serve as a residence to a household or to one person living alone. If the building is entirely occupied by a single household or by one person living alone, this building is considered a residential unit or dwelling.
36. Question 8: Type of building.
The enumerator will carefully observe the building which he is going to count. In order to help him determine the type, some images presenting the structures most frequently encountered in the country are presented in the manual.
It is important, after the observation, to pinpoint the type and check the appropriate box in the questionnaire.
[p. 10]
General characteristics of various types
37. Type 01 - Kay à tè: This construction appears as a tent whose roof and walls are merged.
The roof is generally made of straw, in taches or branches of palm trees.
The ground is made of clay. A movable board (mat, tache, or palm branch) serves as an opening. The kitchen is most often open to the sky.
You should not confuse the kay à tè with the shelters which are not for residential use which you find in gardens or in plantations.
[p. 11]
38. Type 02: A shanty is a construction made mainly of the rubbish from construction materials.
The roof is made of palm tree strips, corrugated sheet metal, or cardboard.
The walls can be made in clissage à nu, en clissage et bousillage, salvaged sheet metal, waste blocks (déchets de blocs) or waste wood (bois de récupération.)
Inside the shanty, the partitions are made from pieces of cloth, drapes, or cardboard.
The ground is almost always made of clay.
The kitchen, just like the "kay à tè", is open to the sky.
Usually, this type of precarious constructions grouped together form shantytowns located on the borders and the entrance of cities.
[p. 12]
39. Type 03 - Joupa: This is the dwelling type that you find in a rural area.
The roof of the "joupa" is made of straw, taches, or palm branches.
The walls can be made in clissage et bousillage, en muraille, rocks, palm branch boards, squared boards, or regular boards.
Different from the types previously defined, the joupa has door openings made from boards with hinges and hooks. It is also more spacious than the types already mentioned, including at least 2 rooms or more. It often has additional rooms like a covered kitchen, a dovecote, or a hold.
[p. 13]
40 - Type 04 - Kay tôle: It resembles the "joupa" with two rooms or more. However, it is different from the "joupa" because of its roof which is made of corrugated sheet metal.
[p. 14]
41 - Type 05 - Maison en dur (sheet metal roof)
This type of construction has a sheet metal roof and outer walls made of masonry, brick, rocks, or a combination.
These houses can have one or more floors. Their environment is very different from that in the city. They do not have spacious arranged gardens.
[p. 15]
42. Type 06 - Former house (colonial, "gingerbread")
This type of construction has:
The roof made of slate, tile, or sheet metal
The walls can be made of brick, rock, boards, or a combination
There are usually some decorative elements made of wood or crosspiece present on the front side of the house. When it has several stories, there are wood or wrought iron balconies. The boards are at times supported by metallic beams.
[p. 16]
43. Type 07 - House of concrete slabs (roof made of cement)
These are structures whose exterior walls are made of masonry, concrete slabs, brick, or rock and whose roof is made of reinforced concrete. The floor can be made of wood, reinforced concrete, or floor tiles.
[p. 17]
44. Type 08 - Villa: This structure generally usually has modern architecture with practical arrangement of the space, a garden and, at times, a swimming pool.
The roof can be made of reinforced concrete, tile, asbestos cement, or sheet metal.
The ground is made of mosaic, inlaid wood work, ceramics or clay floor tiles.
The entrances can be made of glass, sculpted wood protected by wrought iron.
[p. 18]
45 - Type 09 - Duplex, triplex, apartment buildings
These structures are defined by the number of identical living units constructed in a collective space.
The living units or apartments which make up these structures are connected by a staircase when they are constructed on several floors or by shared walls when they are constructed on the same floor, spread out in a collective space.
This type of structure is called "duplex" when there are two living units, triplex when there are three units, and apartment building when it is constructed with more than two stories.
[p. 19]
46. Type 10 - Hotels, boarding homes, hospital, barracks, etc.
Check the appropriate box when one of these institutions applies, without taking into account the characteristics of the building.
[p. 20]
47. Type 11 - Other, not built for residential use
You must count under this heading: garages, depots, or any place or structure not meant to for residential use but used as such.
However, this construction can be formed only by a room holding up a structure of some kind, without having permanent walls. It is necessary to consider, furthermore, as making up a main building, the detached rooms such as the kitchen, storehouse, and other small structures in the courtyard of the construction.
