Interviewer instructions
Question Number 1: Type of dwelling
Identify the type of dwelling by observing and based on the definitions.
In case of doubt, ask the questions you consider are able to clarify better what type of dwelling is concerned.
Mark a single circle, according to the how illustrated in the example:
[The instructions refer to a graphic of question 1 of the census form.]
You should keep in mind the following definitions:
a. Private permanent (Circle 01):
It is built with long lasting materials such as: concrete, concrete blocks, bricks, stone, wood, adobe, clay covered plant fiber (quincha), etc. It can also be totally or partially built. Semi-detached houses or duplexes are considered individual permanent dwellings.
Example:
[Below the text are 2 pictures of individual permanent dwellings.]
b. Private semi-permanent (Circle 02):
It is built with materials of medium to short duration, such as cane, straw, palm leaves, bamboo, etc.
Example:
[Below the text is a picture of an individual semi-permanent dwelling.]
c. Improvised (Circle 03):
It is built with temporary means and that generally forms part of the "Spontaneous Settlements or Emergency Areas". It is built with material like: old wood, pieces of zinc, tin, cardboard, canvas, cloth, etc.
Example:
[Below the text is a picture of an improvised dwelling]
d. Apartment (Circle 04):
It is a dwelling unit with toilet facilities and a bath of private use located in a building where three or more similar dwellings exist within the same piece of land. This type of dwelling can be found with one floor or as a building with two or more floors.
[To the left of the text is a picture of an apartment building.]
[p. 34]
e. Room in tenement housing (Circle 05):
It constitutes one or more rooms in a tenement house that occupies part of a building composed of many dwellings and does not have toilet facilities, or bath, of private use. The occupants of these dwellings share the use of toilet facilities and bath.
[To the right of the text is a picture of a tenement house.]
f. Place not meant to be a bedroom but used as a dwelling (Circle 06):
It refers to and place or space not meant principally as a dwelling such as: a doorway, vessel, granary, garage, stable, office, store, etc.
The rest of the questions about dwelling will not be asked about the dwellings marked in this circle (06) and the questions of Section III. List of Occupants will begin to be asked.
[To the right of the text is a picture of a person sitting in a doorway.]
g. Without dwelling (Circle 07):
Mark this circle when the person does not have a dwelling, so that the person sleeps in the street, sidewalk, park, push cart, etc. and continue with Section III. List of Occupants.
h. Collective dwelling:
As it is explained before, a collective dwelling is used and meant to be used as special living quarters combined of persons generally without family ties who live together for reasons of discipline, health, education, religious life, work and others such as reformatories, jails, penal colonies, hospitals, sanatoriums, nursing homes, hotels, etc.
[To the left of the text is a picture of a hospital.]
The rest of the questions about dwelling will not be asked about the dwellings marked in this circle and the questions of Section III. List of Occupants will begin to be asked.
[p. 35]
The collective dwellings of Panama City will be enumerated by special enumerators, who will be in charge of this type of dwelling. For the rest of the country, The Regional Inspector will determine if it is necessary to assign these dwellings to special enumerators. In the contrary case, they will be enumerated by the enumerators in charge of them, [i.e.] area where these dwellings are located.
Both the Supervisor as well as the Enumerator will be told by their supervisors in the Census Organization about the collective dwellings that are located in their areas of work.
When a dwelling has annexes for renting, consider the annexes as individual permanent dwellings and enumerate them as independent dwellings.
