Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Section I. Geographical localization</span></p>

<p>All of the forms used should have the geographical localization, you should copy on each form the information from the cover of the folder that contains the census forms. Example:</p>

<p>Urban Area
<br />1. Department: Itapua [07]
<br />2. District: Encarnacion [01]
<br />3. Area</p>
<div class="i1">[x] Urban<br />[ ] Rural</div><p>4. Neighborhood: San Pedro
<br />5. Street: Mcal Estigarribia
<br />House number [10] [05]</p>

<p><span class="pg">[page] 12</span></p>

<p>It is important to take into account that in regards to the circles, there are several possible situations.</p>

<p>-Sometimes, in addition to the x, you should specify a written answer or another x.
<br />Examples:</p>

<p>Question 1 of dwelling</p>

<p>1. Type of dwelling</p>
<div class="i1">[] House<br />[] Rural ranch house<br />[] Apartment or flat<br />[] Rental room<br />[] Improvised dwelling<br />[x] Other: Camp</div><p>Question 5 of population</p>

<p>Do you have any physical or mental impediment?</p>
<div class="i1">[] Yes</div><div class="i2">[] 1 Blind<br />[] 2 Deaf<br />[] 3 Mute<br />[] 4 Paralyzed<br />[] Other ____</div><div class="i1">[] No</div><p>It is important to take into account that when a circle is used, the answers are exclusive, and you should therefore mark only one x per question, except for questions 22 of section III (information about the household).</p>

<p>Question 9 of population</p>

<p>9. Where did you live five years ago, which means in August of 1987?</p>
<div class="i1">[]1 Here<br />[]6 Other place<br />District ____<br /><br />[]1 City/Town<br />[]6 Camp</div><p>Mark "here" if he/she lived in this place, if not, mark "other place", note the district and mark if he/she lived in the city/town or in a camp. Write the department. Write the country, if he/she lived outside of Paraguay.</p>

<p>In addition, do not forget that all of the questions should have an answer. If it does not correspond to ask the question(s), carefully make a diagonal line, to nullify the space of the answer(s).
