Interviewer instructions
105 (b). <span class="em">Column A8: Place of usual living: now</span></p>
<p><span class="em">Q: Where does [the person] usually live?</span>
<br />The place where a person spends or lives most of the time is that person's place of usual living. For example, for children in boarding school or teachers teaching away from home, enter the name and code of the village where the school is located - or, if the school is outside Botswana, enter the name and code of the country where the school is located.</p>
<p>For a person who usually lives in this housing unit (i.e. where he is being enumerated), enter 001. For a person who usually lives somewhere else in the general locality (as indicated on the top of the questionnaire) where enumeration is taking place, enter 002. (However, in urban areas, if they live elsewhere in the same town they should be coded 002 even if the actual locality within that town is different from the one stated at the top of the questionnaire).</p>
<p>For a person who usually lives somewhere else in Botswana, write down the name of the district in the unshaded area under column A8. Prefixing the code a 6, e.g. 610 for Southern district.</p>
<p>For a person who usually lives outside Botswana, enter the name and code number of the country, prefixing the code number by 7, e.g., if Zimbabwe, write code 710.</p>
<p>For non-citizens working permanently or on contract in Botswana, their place of usual living is where they usually live in Botswana. People whose usual place of living is outside Botswana will include; tourists or visiting businessmen (in Botswana for anything from a few days to a month or so); children who are at boarding school outside Botswana, but who, during the census, are here on holiday; and people who work outside Botswana (e.g. on the mines in South Africa) and are visiting their families or friends for a period of leave.
