Interviewer instructions
B. Questions for all the people
This part involves all people who slept in the household the night before census day. The questions in this part are also found in the short questionnaire.
The questions in this part must be asked to every person following the order set. You must follow the flow of questions as arranged and read the question as written in the questionnaire. For more explanation, refer explanations in part 3.7 (how to ask questions).
Part "B" of the questionnaire contains the following questions:



Question 11: Where do you normally live?
Although during the time of enumeration a person is found in a certain place that does not mean that is where he/she lives every day.
[p. 35]
It is possible that a person is there to visit or on holiday, but lives in another place. Therefore, you must ask this question to everyone, do not assume that a person lives where he/she was found on census day.
Codes used are those shown in question 10 above. In order to know if a person lives in the village, regional headquarters, district headquarters, or another town, you are supposed to write the code which matches the answer given in the third box, then shade in the corresponding space.
The following codes are used:

[] 1 He/she lives in the rural [kijijini]
[] 2 He/she lives in regional headquarters
[] 3 He/she lives in district headquarters or another town
[] 4 He/she lives outside Tanzania.

For example, if a household member lives in Iringa urban, you are supposed to write and shade code "1" and "1" in the first two columns, then write and shade code "2" in the third column. If normally one lives in Manyoni urban [mjini], which is the headquarters of Manyoni district in Singida region, then the codes used in question 11 are "1" and "3" in the first two columns and code "3" in the third column. For a person who lives in Namibia, write and shade code "70" which is for Namibia and shade code 4 in the third column.
[Illustration for question 11 is omitted]
[p. 36]
For those people who have lived in different places for a year (apart from where they usually reside), you will fill where they have lived the longest time. For business people, fill the place where they stay for at least four days a week.
