Interviewer instructions
Chapter IV - Data on Persons Registered in Households
44. All persons in the household will be recorded in this chapter, regardless whether they were present in the household or absent at the census reference point - "0" hour on the night of January, 6 to 7, 1992, or whether persons had left the household temporarily or for a longer period to work, to study, or for some other reason. Persons temporarily present in the household at the census reference point will not be recorded in this chapter, but in Chapter V.
Q. 2 Situation at the time of the census
49. For each person record the situation with respective to their legal residence at the census reference point ('0' hour on January 6 to 7, 1992).Each person's enumeration will be conducted, usually, at their legal or usual residence.
The legal residence represents the address registered on the identification card. A person could live for a certain period of time at a address different from the address registered on the identification card. This is the case for persons who are in other localities to study, to work or for other reasons. Generally these persons have inscribed in their identity card the residential visa for a limited duration. Usual residence in the census definition is the address, different from the legal residence, where the enumerated person is residing for at least 6 months (or intends to reside for 6 months) at the census reference point.
The enumerator will record both persons having their legal residence at the address of the enumerated household, as well as persons stating that this address is only their usual residence (even if it is not registered on the identity card).
For each person the situation at the census reference point has to be ascertained and recorded in Question 2 of Chapter IV of the PL form, indicating whether this address is the legal residence or the residence where the person was enumerated according to the above definitions.
At the census reference point, a person could be found in one of the following situations: present, temporarily absent, or gone for a long period of time:
Code 1 - Present. These are the persons who, at "0" hour on the night of January 6 to 7, 1992, were at their legal/usual residence.
The following will be considered as present at the census reference point:
Working persons who are on duty (night shift workers, such as guards, airmen, seamen, railroad personnel, road transporters).
Persons who have left for market shopping, for the mill, to hunt etc.
Persons who have left to another place (locality) but are on their way home by some means of transportation).
Children from nursery schools and weekly kindergarten.
Persons in compulsory military service or in military educational institutions.
Persons who are retained for investigations.
Soldiers.
Persons who are visiting someone living in the same locality.
Code 2 - Temporarily absent - Persons from the household who have gone to another locality within the country, who on the night of January 6 to 7, 1992, were absent for a short period of time (less than 6 months). In this situation are the persons who are gone for:
