They are commonly referred to as "<span class="lang">Jamban Siam</span>" or "<span class="lang">Jamban Lubang</span>". Cesspits should also be included under this category. <br /><br /><span class="pg">[p.81]</span><br /><br /><span class="ital">(v) Enclosed space over water (Code 5)</span><br />This is constructed over water so that the human waste fall direct into the water, i.e., it is constructed over drains, river, sea, pond, lake and swamps. This type of toilet should have a closed or semi-closed structure.<br /><br /><span class="ital">(vi) None (Code 6)</span><br />This includes all cases whereby the LQ does not have any toilet facility. The occupants of the LQ use swamps, river, bushes, etc. to dispose their human waste.<br /><br />How to ask the question<br /><div class="i1">Ask the question as follows:<br /><br /><span class="ital">"What is the type of toilet facility normally used by the members of the LQ?"</span></div><br /><br />How to record the answer<br /><div class="i2">Mark "X" in the relevant code box.</div><br />If the answer is code 6, you need not ask question A9.
