Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">4.3.1. Question 1 and 3.</span> Between questions 1 and 3, there should never be more than a single response: a room must be counted either in question 1 (if it is considered a kitchen), or in question 3 (if it is considered a dwelling room [<span class="lang">pièce d'habitation</span>]), but never both at the same time.
<br /><span class="em">Case of dwellings comprised of a single room</span>: In the country, one frequently finds dwellings (dwelling category 1) comprising a single room which serves as the common area, and which has kitchen fittings (faucet, stove etc.). In town, one frequently finds premises comprised of a single room (dwelling categories 2 or 3).
<br />In all these cases answer "1" on question 3 and "no" (no kitchen) on question 1.
<br /><span class="em">Question 1</span> - In the case of a furnished room which has a simple hot- plate and in which there is no faucet, check off box 6 (and not 5).
<br /><span class="em">Question 3</span> - In accordance with the above guidelines, all dwellings have at least one dwelling room [<span class="lang">pièce d'habitation</span>]). Thus, question 3 will never have a response of "0".
<br />In some dwellings, there is no separation (or there is a portable divider) between the dining room and the living room: in such cases, count 2 rooms if there is a divider [<span class="lang">amorce de cloison</span>] and only one room if there is none.
