Interviewer instructions
3.3.1. Question 1: Type of building.
You will check one and only one of the six boxes.
Type 1: farm, agricultural buildings. You will classify the buildings used for a farm in this section.
Type 2: Make- shift dwellings: This type of dwelling consists of shelters not meant to be used for housing or totally unfit to be lived in but nevertheless are used as abodes. This includes wagons or other immobilized vehicles, immobilized boats impossible to navigate (1), blockhouses, fortifications, shanty town shacks, houses falling into ruin, etc.
Do not count these places unless they are lived in. In the same way, only count the dwellings within them which are occupied.
Warning: The buildings built as dwellings but which have become more or less unfit to live in as a normal abode, either through dilapidation or insufficient maintenance, must be classified in sections 5 and 6 as long as they have not fallen into ruin, even if their facility installations do no longer hold up to the modern norms for building facilities.
Type 3: Temporary structure. This means structures destined for habitation but having a temporary nature: shacks constructed from devastated dwellings, workers on a temporary building site, etc.
[Footnote] (1) Barges and tug boats of inland navigation will be counted by agents of navigable waters. You should only count boats which are no longer licensed.
[p.32]
Type 4: Only enter in this category buildings for which the whole thing or the largest part of it is reserved for this use. A private house where the rooms are rented out occasionally to people on vacation during holiday times should be classified in 5.
Type 5 and 6: The buildings which do not fit into types 1 to 4 will be classified in 5 or 6 provided that they are mainly used as abodes or, on the other hand, mainly used for industrial, commercial, administrative use.
Usually, the houses consisting at the same time of a single dwelling and a single professional location (store, shop, artisan's workshop) will be classified in category of type 6.
N.B. For buildings of types 2 or 6, don't omit to specify the kind of structure in as much detail as possible.
If you are worried by a special case, describe it at the end of question and you might want to point it out to the delegate.
