22. People who don't have permanent settlements (e.g. the homeless), are registered in the places where they spend the night during a night by special interviewers.

23. During the interview of the members of the households the interviewer must find out if any of the members of the household has another place of living (except the cases mentioned in points 16.1, 16.2, 16.3). If one of them has then they must decide where to register him/her during the census. The preference is given to the place where the household of the replier lives.

Example 1. If the replier has a flat or a house, where he is registered, but he/she lives in some other place with his/her family (e.g. in the flat that belongs to his wife), then this person must be registered there where his/her family lives.

Example 2. If the replier lives in the dormitory of the work place and goes to other places during the weekends and days off to his household, then this person must be registered where his/her household lives.

II. Supervisor activities

24. The interviewer must give a form (Form 5) about the conducting a census, to the people who are temporarily present in a house (building), except the foreigners.

25. Besides, the form must be given to the people;

26. The interviewer numerates the forms given for his/her region and asks the people to keep the forms till October 26.

27. Those people who have the form about conducting a census if met out of their permanent settlements (if the interviewer meets them in other rural or urban localities) mustn't be registered for the second time. But the registration of these people in the questionnaires for their permanent settlements is done and they are considered to be the absentees.

Example: K. Galstyan permanently lives in Aparan city, but on October 11 (at the moment of the census) he was in Vayots Dzor marz (region), in village Khachik. He was registered as a temporary present in the hotel of Khachik on October 12 and he got a certificate from the interviewer. He went back to Aparanon October 13 and there in his flat he met the interviewer for Aparan city. K Galstyan shows the interviewer the certificate about the conducting a census in Khachik. Despite that K.Galstyan must be registered by the interviewer that visited his household, as a member of the household, as an absentee, filling in a corresponding question about the absence.

28. If the interviewer meets someone who is permanently or temporarily present in the house (building), who was out of the boundaries of the mentioned region on October 11 at 12PM and is in some other place where he/she must be registered as a permanent or temporary present, then the interviewer must find out if that person has a certificate about undergoing a census in that region. For these people the interviewer must complete a control list (Form 4).

29. The control list contains 13 individual questions, which correspond with the minimum questions set of Census questionnaire.

30. While making a control list the following 3 questions should be filled in:

30.1. On the front page, in the address field, the address (region, district, street and etc.) is written, where the corresponding control list is made, then a check mark is used in the "yes" or "no" field to answer the following questions:

30.2. In the second question of the control list, the address of the replier's permanent settlement must be written.

30.3. On the opposite side of the control list, in the special field, the settlement address must be written where the following person will be registered as permanently or temporary present, that is to say the place where he/she was at the moment of the census.

31. Later according to the last question they check if the following person was registered in the corresponding questionnaire or not. That is reason that addresses must be filled in with the required accuracy and thoroughness.

32. If a control list is made for any person in his/her permanent settlement, then with the control list the interviewer registers him/her as an absentee in his/her household census questionnaire.

Example: L Khachikyan permanently lives in Vardashat village of Ararat marz, but on October 11 he went to Gumri to visit his relatives. There he stayed till October 15. On October 15 he returned to Vardashat village and he met the interviewer in his flat.

If L. Khachikyan doesn't have a certificate about the census, then the Vardashat village interviewer must make a control list for him and give him a certificate. In the control list after filling in the first question, the interviewer must:

In this example in the address field of the control list and in the second question where the Vardashat village address is filled in, and on the opposite side of the control list, in the address field, the address in Gumri must be written. L. Khachikyan must be registered in Gumri as a temporary present and as an absentee in Vanadzor.

33. If the control list is made for a person out of his/her permanent settlement, then a questionnaire is not filled in for him/her in the place where the control list was made for him/her.

Example 1: D. Poghosyan permanently lives in Dilijan city. On October 14 he went to Vanadzor city for business (after the critical moment of the census) and on October 15 he met the interviewer there. D. Poghosyan must be registered in Dilijan as a permanent present (he was in his house at the critical moment of the census). But because he doesn't have a certificate about the conduction of the census, then the Vanadzor city interviewer must make a control list for D. Poghosyan and give a certificate to him. In Vanadzor the interviewer doesn't make a census questionnaire, and in the control list, after the first address "No" answer should be marked in the following check boxes;

In this example in the address field of the control list Vanadzor address is filled in, and in the second question and on the opposite side of the control list the address in Dilijan must be filled in.

Example 2: G. Matevosyan permanently lives in Egheghnadzor city. On October 9 in the morning he went to Talin city for personal affairs, where he stayed till October 14 and on October 12 he went to Eghvard village (Sunik marz). There he met the interviewer.
G. Matevosyan went to Eghvard after the critical moment of the census and he doesn't have a certificate about the census. The interviewer of Eghvard must complete a control list for him and give a certificate. In Eghvard a census questionnaire does not complete for G. Matevosyan and in the control list to the questions A) "was he in the following address on October 11, 12pm?" and B) "Along with a completing of the control list, is he registered in the census questionnaire with the note of absence?", the No" answer should be marked in.
As G. Matevosyan was in Talin at the time of conducting a census, then in Gavar he must be registered as a temporary present and in Egheghnadzor which is his permanent settlement, as an absentee.
In the first address field of the control list the interviewer writes the address of Eghvard village (where the control list was filled in), in the second field - the permanent settlement (address) of Egheghnadzor and on the opposite side the address of Talin (where he must registered as a temporary present).

34. Each interviewer numerates the filled in control lists in his/her interviewed district, writes some notes in the 2nd table of the notebook of the interviewer, in the house (building) field, where the controls lists where made.

35. If the interviewer meets a person who has more than one house, flat, summerhouse and so on (except the cases mentioned in the point 16 of the General Provision), then he must find out where this person must be registered.

36. After finding out the place of the registration;

Example: S. Sahakyan is registered in Artashat city, "A" Street, but actually he lives in Artashat, "B" street, and the last house he shares with his household (wife, son and mother in law), which is his mother in law's house. The interviewer who came here finding out that Sahakyan has another flat where he is registered but usually he lives in this address with his household, he registers Sahakyan in the questionnaire of the census and completes a control list for him where he fills in his address where the document was made (A street) and on the opposite side he writes the second address of Sahakyan's flat, where he is registered but will not be counted for the census. Besides that the interviewer must give a certificate to Sahakyan about taking part in the census.

37. The supervisor documents are numerated in the boundaries of the registration district in the united recurrent numbers and it is given to the instructor-supervisor. The interviewer writes in 2nd table of his/her notebook how many supervisor documents were filled in in each house. Later with the help of these documents the accuracy of the registration of such people must be kept (for avoiding a double registration or any omission).

38. After the end of the census, from October 22 to October 26 an electoral supervisory visit is held. In the cities and rural areas the supervisory visit is held in all the registration districts including in each of them 10% of the preliminary chosen houses (flats).

39. The aim of the supervisory visit is:

40. The supervisory visit is held together with the instructor-supervisor and the interviewer. Moreover, the instructor-supervisor defines the registration district of each interviewer.

41. During the supervisory visit the instructor - supervisor (or the interviewer) checks if all the members of the given household took part in the census including the ones who came after October 12. They must find out for all the members who live in the following house (building) either temporarily or permanently, where they were at the moment of the census in 2001, October 9, 12am.

42. All the people in the household, who were subject for the census but were missed by the interviewer (instructor-supervisor), must be registered in the questionnaire assigned for the mentioned household, filling in all the answers to the questions about the person.

43. During the supervisory visit a certificate, a control list and supervisor document are completed for the people who are subject for registration but don't have a certificate about the census.

III. General information about filling in the questionnaire of the census

44. The census questionnaire is completed for the households. A separate questionnaire is filled in for each household. The households are of two types; personal and group (institutional).

45. A personal household can be called:

45.1. During the registration the following must be taken into consideration:

45.2. Dwelling unit is called the separate settlement for the members of one household and the independent settlement or the place that is not for living but used as such during the census. The dwelling unit can be settled or free, moving or made off-hand, as well as any space used by the members of the household during the census regardless the time of the usage and the recourses.
Consequently the dwelling unit can be:

45.3. The dwelling unit is intended for one household, but there are cases when it is used by two and more households, consequently in such dwelling units more than one questionnaire can be filled in.

46. Group (institutional) households make those people who permanently live in the orphanages, in the boarding schools and in the special schools (for example, in the boarding schools for the children who are parentless or have only a mother or only a father), in the nursing homes and in the religious establishments (for example, in monasteries), in the prisons, in the reformatory colonies and in other such establishments. That is to say they make groups of population that live together and usually are submitted to the same rules and eat together.
The households of the serving personnel are not included in the structure of the population that live with group (institutional) households.

47. The interviewer gives the questions of the census questionnaire to the replier just the way they are in the questionnaire. All the notes in the questionnaire must be done with a ball pen. All the questions that have several possible answers are in the special tab in the direction of the arrow. The answers to the questions are filled in by writing words and figures (with corresponding prompting points).

48. The interviewer must fill in the answers to all the questions only in the white space of the given column.

5. Other questions addressed to the household.

Part 1. The order of the filling in the address tab

The interviewer starts the filling in the questionnaire by filling in the address tab. First if all he/she enumerates the census questionnaires in his/her registration district. One census questionnaire is intended for 7 persons. If in the separate households the number of the inhabitants exceeds 7 people then under the same number 2 or more questionnaires are made.
