Interviewer instructions
Question A - Type of living quarter
The option "On board population and diplomatic personnel" is reserved to the internal services of the NSI. Never mark this answer.
On a general way we will have to consider two major types of dwellings:
Familiar (conventional) - strictly to a familiar living;
Collective - open to a largest number of occupants that go over the familiar relationships.
As for dwelling, we understand every distinct and independent inhabited place, that by the way that it was constructed, reconstructed, enlarged, or transformed, is destined to be inhabited by persons and on the census moment it was not being used entirely for other purposes.
All places constructed for human habitation that on the census moment are being totally used for other purposes different from residential will not be counted as dwellings.
Familiar dwellings:
Conventional familiar dwelling: Division or set of divisions and their annexes that, by making part of a classical building with a permanent structure, or being structurally separated of that, and by the way that it was constructed, reconstructed, enlarged, or transformed is destined to be inhabited and on the census moment it was not being used entirely for other purposes. The conventional familiar dwelling must also have an independent entrance give access to the street or to a common area in the building.
Non-conventional dwelling: Its is a space that on the census moment is inhabited by individuals and that by the type of construction and its precarious condition, does not entirely satisfies the requirements to be a conventional familiar dwelling. We include in this type:
- Shacks;
- Rudimentary wooden houses;
- Mobile housing units;
- Dwellings in a permanent building not designed for habitation;
- Other inhabited places.
Collective dwelling: As collective living quarters we understand every place where a group of persons, usually big, live together, inhabiting one or more constructions, and usually sharing meals with a common objective or general interest and are normally managed by an external or internal entity to the group.
