Interviewer instructions
Be guided by the following definitions in identifying the type of housing unit occupied by the family:
Single - a complete structure intended for one household. It includes the so-called “nipa hut” or a small house that is built as a more or less permanent housing unit.
Duplex - a structure intended for two households, with complete living facilities for each. It is divided vertically or horizontally into two separate housing units that are usually identical.
Apartment - An apartment is a structure usually of several entrances from internal hall or court. It differs from an accesoria in that an apartment has one common entrance from the outside.
Accesoria - An accesoria is usually a one or two floor structure divided into three or more housing units, each unit having its own separate entrance from the outside. An accesoria is sometimes referred to as a row house.
A building that was originally constructed as a single house or duplex, but now partitioned into three or more rooms/group of rooms (with separate entrances from a common hall or passage) without changing the outside structure or appearance, will be classified as single house or a duplex as the case may be.
Condominium - A condominium is usually a high-rise building where the housing units are owned individually but the land and other areas and facilities are owned in common.
Improvised house - A makeshift or roughly constructed house usually built with salvaged materials.
Commercial or Industrial or Agricultural building/house - These are buildings intended for transacting business for rendering professional services, for processing, assembling, fabricating or manufacturing operations, or for agricultural purposes and not intended for private habitation but used as a living quarter at the time of the survey.
Other housing unit (cave, boat, etc.) - These refers to all other types of buildings/houses and natural structures not intended for private housing and/ or human habitation nor located in permanent buildings but which are nevertheless, used as living quarters at the time of the survey. Caves, other natural shelters and mobile housing units such as trailers, barges, boats, etc., fall under the category.
