Chapter III - Data on the Building Where the Dwelling is Located
39. This chapter records the characteristics of buildings intended for human habitation, buildings intended for other designation, or collective living units where dwellings units exist, as well as those under construction but partially occupied by the population.
This chapter of the PL form will record only the first dwelling of the building; for other dwellings in the building, Q. 15 - 18 of Chapter III ib the PL form will be crossed out with an oblique line.
Q. 16 Purpose of building use
40. When recording this item the following coding will be taken into consideration:
Code 1: buildings designated for living are those exclusively or mainly used for living;
Code 2: buildings having other designation, where dwellings are found in buildings used largely for purposes other than living (for example: institutions, schools, shops, etc.);
Code 3: when the majority of the building is occupied by collective living units of the hostel type (boarding school, student hostels, workers hostels, children's homes, hospitals, asylums etc.), or of the hotel type (hotels, motels, tourist cabins, hospitals, sanatoriums, maternity houses etc.);
Code 4: when there are multiple dwelling buildings where only some apartments are occupied, as well as an individual building having a single dwelling, where only one room or part of the living spaces are occupied.
Buildings having other designation or buildings having collective living units under construction, where there dwellings are already occupied by residents or boarders, will be recorded with codes 2 or 3, depending on the situation.
