Interviewer instructions
Type of dwelling

The characteristics that correspond to some types of dwellings mentioned in the questionnaire are the following:

A. Private Dwelling:

House: permanent building; separate and independent with a direct entrance from the street, garden, or lot (cottage, bungalow, hut, etc.)

Apartment: a dwelling located in a permanently constructed building; has a separate entrance from a hallway, stairway, or other common space in the building, or direct access from the street. The occupants can come and go without passing through a premises occupied by others.

Tenement dwelling: is a room or group of rooms that make up an independent dwelling. [p. 12] They are located along a common-use hallway and have shared facilities. Also considered within this alternative are buildings rented completely by rooms or groups of rooms and which have shared facilities.

Squatter settlement: is a temporary building made from waste materials (cardboard, tin, waste construction materials). They make up groups of dwellings located in uncultivated areas belonging to others where there are neither urbanization nor hygienic conditions for living there. It is also possible to find squatter dwellings in isolated areas or constructed close to other dwelling groups.

Shack, rustic hut, cabin: is typically a rural building, separate or independent, made of light materials (clay with straw, reeds, sticks and mud, dried stone [pirca], etc.).

B. Collective Dwelling

Boardinghouse, Guesthouse: has the same structural characteristics as private dwellings.

Boardinghouses and guesthouses with a municipal license, regardless of the number of boarders, will always be included in this category.

Private dwellings with 6 or more boarders will also be included here.

If the dwelling has 5 boarders or fewer, the proper option within group A. Private Dwelling should be marked.

If the dwelling is found unoccupied and you have finished questions 1 and 2, end the interview.
