Interviewer instructions
2. Question 1 -- explanations: Number of rooms the family lives in
[Instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including question 1.]
A. Include in the answer all rooms and half-rooms used by the family for living: a room used for living as well as for business will be considered as a living room.
For example: The room of a seamstress, used also for living after work hours, will be considered as one of the living rooms.
If a family considers a hall/dining room as a room/half room -- include it in the total number of rooms.
B. Do not include in the total number of rooms: kitchen, bathroom and room used for business purposes only.
C. In an apartment in which two or more households are living:
Include only the rooms used by the household for which the questionnaire is filled
If two households living in the same apartment share some of the rooms -- add half a room to each household for each shared room.
For example:
Two students living in a 3-room apartment. Each student lives in a room of her own and the guest room is used by both of them (the students prepare their meals separately and therefore are considered two different households). In this case, write each student lives in a 1.5-room apartment (the room in which living and half the shared room).
[p. 45]
Three households live in three separate rooms in a 4-room apartment. The dining room is shared by all three households. In this case, write 1.5 rooms for each household -- the room in which living and half the shared room (notice, do not write 1/3 room for each household).
Notice!
If the family finds it difficult to determine what a room is and what half a room is, decide according to the following: an area of 2x3 sq. meters will be considered a room. A smaller area will be considered half a room.
