Interviewer instructions
G. Housing conditions and ownership of properties
These questions are about tools used in house construction, services available in this household (such as water, toilets, electricity), the total number of bedrooms used by the household, and ownership of properties. The head of household is asked these questions. If the head of household is absent, try to get another member of the household to answer these questions on behalf of the head of household.
Usually, if a household is using more than one house, all questions about the material used to construct the house and the electricity used in the house are to be asked for the main house where most household members live.
For Census purposes, a house is a building used by people for living. Workshops or store, places where people do not live, are not involved.
Note: Questions about house are to be asked to private households only. For collective households such as schools, hostels, camps, hospitals, etc. these questions should not be asked because they are not relevant.
Question 33: What energy do you use in cooking?
In this question we want to know the kind of energy used for cooking in the household. This information enables us to know the number of people using different types of energy for cooking. If it happens that a household uses more than one kind of energy for cooking, take the most used one.
Use the following codes:
Energy
[] 1 Electricity
[] 2 Kerosene
[] 3 Gas
[] 4 Firewood
[] 5 Charcoal
[] 6 Other
[] 7 Not involved
[Illustration for question 33 is omitted]
Code "7" involves those who don't cook in their household and eat in restaurants and coffee shops.
