H11 Presence of Household Conveniences
[The publication states: "Refer to the instructions in Section 7.4 (p. 96) in filling up this item." This section is pasted from Common Household Questionnaire instructions, section 7.4]
This provides information on selected household conveniences, the presence of which in the household is considered important in connection with programs of public information or education to know by what means of communication the population can be most easily reached. It is also important in assessing the impact of new radio and TV stations. This also provides a basis for leisure statistics. The presence of motor vehicles in the household provides data about access to private transport. It can also provide information for the construction of roads and solution to traffic problems.
If the household has a radio/radio cassette (including transistor or radiophone), enter 1 for Yes. If none, enter 2 for No. Do the same for television (TV) , for refrigerator/freezer, for telephone and for motor vehicle.
Motor vehicles include motorcycles, cars, jeeps, tricycles, etc.
Exclude here radios, televisions, telephones, refrigerators/freezers or motor vehicles that have not been in working condition for six months or longer (although intended to be repaired). Also exclude those motor vehicles which are used exclusively for business purposes.
