2. Determine the quantity and quality of housing, the coverage of its basic services to evaluate the living conditions and specific requirements of the population.
1. What is a population and housing census?
A population and housing census is the set of operations consisting of collecting, compiling, evaluating, analyzing and disseminating demographic and housing data, relating to all inhabitants and their living quarters (United Nations, 1998), at a given time.
2. Scope and reach of the census
The Population Census and Housing of 2013 in Honduras, will cover the entire national territory, registering all habitual resident persons, that are present or not in the house at the time of registration, as well as all structures intended or not for residential purposes.
3. Legal aspect
The Census is framed in the Law of the National Statistics Institute (INE), Legislative Decree No. 86-2000 of July 8, 2000, which establishes in its Article 25, that all natural and legal persons, public or private, located in the country, are obliged to provide the statistical data requested, and will not be able to excuse themselves from this obligation.
4. Confidentiality of information
The confidentiality of information is one of the most important aspects to take into account within the ethical elements of any study that involves human beings.
Article 31 of the same Law establishes that the data will be strictly confidential and may not be published individually, but rather as part of aggregate figures according to criteria and categories of public interest.
[p.6]
5. Census period
It is the time in which the data collection required by the census form will be carried out. It will be approximately 15 days.
[Sections IV, V, and VI of the original document are omitted here.]
[p.25]
VII. Census interview or registration
An interview is understood to be the dialogue that the Enumerator has with the qualified informant, with the aim of obtaining the data indicated on the census form.
To guarantee that the information to be obtained through this technique is truthful and objective, it is necessary that the interview be carried out in an orderly manner, following the order of the questions contained on the form. Allowing this to be carried out as a conversation and not as an interrogation.
To achieve a good interview, it is necessary for the Enumerator to have control over the structure of the census form.
- At the time of the interview, the Enumerators must:
b) It is important to be dressed appropriately, in order to create trust and acceptance on the part of the interviewees.
c) Identify themselves as an employee of the Census (INE), showing their card and credential, if necessary.
d) Explain the reason for the visit.
e) Indicate that the information received is confidential.
f) Try to create an environment of trust, in such a way that any fear or disinterest on the part of the informant can be overcome. Confidence and naturalness in your treatment, good manners and the effort you put in at the time of the interview are determining elements to obtain the necessary collaboration.
- Development of the interview
The interview is the method that the Enumerator uses to obtain from the informant the answers to the questions on the census form. Therefore, it is important that the Enumerator:
A qualified informant should preferably be:
- The head of the household
- The partner of the Head of the Household
- In the absence of the two previous options, go to a son, a daughter or a relative of the head of the household, who is 15 years of age or older, and who knows the aspects related to housing and the characteristics of the people who make up the household.
Whenever possible, get each member of the household to provide data on people's characteristics.
[p.26]
To guarantee that the information to be obtained is correct, it is necessary that you know the form and have control over it, and that you ask the questions in an orderly manner, in accordance with what is established in the census form.
Section A. Geographical location
Section B. Housing data
Section C. Household data
Section D. Household composition
Section E. International migration and mortality
Section F. Characteristics of the people
These sections contain a series of arrows, directions and specific instructions on what the Enumerator should do after marking or recording the answer to the question.
- If the informant has not understood the question, repeat it slowly and provide a brief clarification.
- Listen carefully to the informant's response, and write it with legible handwriting and numbers, so that they can be read without problem later.
- Never use abbreviations when writing your answer.
- Always mark one and only one answer alternative for each question, except in those cases where otherwise indicated.
- If you make a mistake, carefully erase what you wrote without damaging the questionnaire, and check that the correct answer is clear and without stains.
- Differentiate the questions that are for all people: for those that are 3 years old and older, for those that are 5 years old and older, for those that are 12 years old and older, and for those that are 18 years old and older.
- If at the time of the interview, the informant cannot attend to you, ask them to indicate the time when they can do so.
- Please note that the form has the capacity to interview 09 household members.
[p.27]
In the event that any of the household members refuses to provide information, keep the following recommendations in mind:
- Please indicate that these data are being provided by the entire Honduran population.
- Try to start the interview and if the informant allows it, continue with the questions in the order established on the census form.
- Make any observations you deem appropriate and record them in the assigned space.
- If they maintain resistance to not providing the data, make the informant aware of the confidentiality and obligation to provide the information; otherwise, make a second or third visit to try to obtain the information, and if in this last visit you did not obtain positive results, place the sticker and communicate it to your Sector Manager and continue with the next home.
- Avoid conducting the interview in the presence of people who do not belong to the household; the informant could alter his or her answers or omit them.
- Another possible situation is that the question has been misunderstood. In this case, you must repeat the question clearly and at a slower pace.

[Omitted figure]
[Omitted figure]
3) Writing clear and legible letters in the corresponding spaces
[Omitted figure]
In general, all questions on the census form have exclusive response options, so you must mark, note or write only one answer.
4) You will also find questions where the response options are grouped with braces. Always observe the note which will tell you which question to continue with.
[Omitted figure]
It is important that you look carefully at the corresponding instruction; otherwise, questions that do not apply will be asked or questions that do apply will not be asked. The above may involve returning to the home to gather the missing information.
When no reference appears, it means you should continue with the next question.
Section A. Geographical location
This section consists of aspects related to the geographic location of the home. The aim is to ensure the identification and location of said homes in the most precise way possible.
It is vitally important to fill out this information. Before starting the interview It's recommended that You never register a house without first filling out this section.
[Omitted figure]
This section consists of 12 subsections, of which the information in subsections 1 to 6 must be transcribed from the sticker of the folder that will be given to you with the census material to be used in your segment. Apply this instruction to all the forms.
To fill out subsections 7, 8 and 9 that correspond to the name of the Village, City or Farmhouse, Neighborhood or Colony, request this information from the informant.
Take the block number, subsection 10, from the plan or sketch of the segment.
In subsection 11, Housing number in the route, write the number corresponding to each of the houses you visit; this must be done in ascending order as you visit them, that is, write down 001 for the first house, 002 for the second house and so on until completing the last census household within the assigned segment.
In the household number, subsection 12, enter the number of the household you are investigating. When more than one household resides in the house, write down the number in ascending order, always keeping the same house number. Take into account that:
- If you found housing with absent people or unoccupied (confirmed after 3 visits), then, write 00 in household No., maintaining the housing number assigned to you on the first visit.
- If the form corresponds to a collective housing, then write 00 in the household number.
In the box corresponding to the exact address of the housing, write the name of the avenue, street, stage, block, and house number, according to the existing nomenclature; also, write down any references that can be used to locate it easily.
In rural areas, housing generally does not have a specific address; thus, it will be important that in the address, you write the name of the farmhouse and the references that allow it to be located.
Note: Every form must have information about the geographic location.
Section B. Housing data
This section requests data on the general characteristics of the housing, such as the type, occupancy condition, predominant materials in the ceiling, walls and floor, and basic services provided by the housing; it is also about identifying the number of households that live in that dwelling. It consists of 12 questions.
Question 1. Housing type
The type of housing is filled out by simple observation. Mark with a check the response category considered. If the housing is Private, continue asking the questions in this section; but if it is Collective, you must go to Section F. People's Characteristics.
[Omitted figure]
[p.31]
To determine the type of housing, the following three characteristics must be considered:
- If the premises are separated, so that the members staying there can isolate themselves from other members, mainly to sleep and eat.
- If the premises are independent, understanding the independence from the point of view of access to enter the living quarters, which can be directly from the street, from a patio, corridor, hallway, or from a staircase or elevator, without having to go through by any other living quarter occupied by another household in the living quarters or housing.
Take into account that in Private Housing you may find that in the same building there is an independent house, one or more apartments and one or more rooms.
It is a structurally separate and independent place, built, renovated or enabled for the purposes of temporary or permanent accommodation of people. Any other type of fixed or mobile shelter, occupied by people as a place of accommodation, on the date of the census, may also be considered housing.
Private Housing
Private housing can be: an independent house, an apartment, a room in an inn or rooming house, a place not built for housing, or another one. Take into account that in a house or building, there may be several houses.
Collective Housing
It is that house that is occupied by people normally not linked by kinship ties, and who share the house for reasons of work, medical care, studies, military, religion, tourism, etc.
Collective housing with few members must be registered by the regular enumerators of each sector. If the Enumerators find collective housing with numerous members, they should consult about enumerators specially trained for this purpose.
The types of private housing are defined as follows:
[Omitted figure]
An apartment has water service and sanitation for exclusive use.
3- Room in an inn or rooming house: It is the piece that is part of a group of houses that generally have a direct entrance from a patio, hallway or corridor. Generally, they share water services and sanitation.

Section B "Housing data" only question 1,
Section F "Characteristics of people".
Keep in mind that in the building where Collective Housing functions, there may be private housing with one or more households. If this happens, use a form for each of the private housing, and assign it a different number than the collective housing.
Example: A Hotel Manager who lives right there (in the collective housing) with his family. To record the data in these cases, you must proceed as follows:
Register all members of the collective housing, and assign them a housing number on the census form. (Example 001), checking option (8) for Hotel, hostel or guest house.
Make another form for the manager and his family members, and assign him another housing number (002), marking the response option (1) apartment, and ask him all the questions on the census form (A. Geographical location, B. Housing data, C. Household data, D. Household composition, E. International migration and mortality F. Characteristics of the people).
The types of collective housing are defined as follows:
9- Hospital, Sanatorium or Clinic: It is an institution where sick people are housed and assisted.
10- Orphanage or Asylum: The orphanage is the housing intended for the permanent care of children, and the asylum is the housing where elderly people are housed and cared for.

IX. Instructions for registration in collective housing
Collective housing is a place of accommodation occupied by people who, without being related to each other, live together for reasons of health, education, work, confinement, etc., and that at the time of the census they reside in that housing.
Collective housing can be hotels, hostels, guest houses, hospitals, sanatoriums, clinics, orphanages, asylums, boarding schools or nursing homes, student boarding schools, barracks, battalions, prisons, reformatories, etc.
Registration Procedure:
Depending on the number of people that make up the collective housing and the type of housing modality, the population residing in these housing units will be registered by personnel, either specially designated for this purpose or by regular enumerators designated by the head of the sector.
In this sense, if the number of people in the household is low (less than "fifteen" members), and is fully identified within the route of the segment and is not part of the list of collective housing previously drawn up, then the head of the sector will designate a regular enumerator to process it.
[p.67]
If, on the other hand, collective housing exceeds the "fifteen" members, and is also part of the special list of collective housing created for this purpose, it will be counted by the teams of enumerators specifically assigned for these tasks.
The data collection strategy is similar to that implemented for residents of private housing, with the exception that only geographic location data will be applied; question No. 1 of section B (housing data, categories 08 to 13) and section F (population characteristics).
Initially, the enumerator must contact the person responsible for the collective housing, to obtain the necessary conditions for registration and to provide the guidance of the case. Some housing will have different treatment, such is the case of the following:
Psychiatric hospital: The census personnel will take the data from existing administrative records.
Orphanages: The census personnel will take the data from existing administrative records.
Boarding School: Selected enumerators must be assigned within each boarding school. They must be incorporated into the training provided in the reference municipality.
Battalions and barracks: Selected enumerators must be assigned from each battalion or barracks, specifically from its administrative personnel. These personnel must join the training provided in the reference municipality.
Who must be registered in collective housing:
- People who usually reside in collective housing.
- People who work and usually reside in collective housing.
- People who do not work in the collective housing but are habitual residents of it.
Who should not be registered in collective housing:
- People who are only employees of collective housing and reside in another house.
- People who for circumstantial reasons are temporarily in the house, for periods of less than six months (days, weeks or months), such as hospital inmates, hotel guests.
- Travelers (Hondurans or foreigners) who reside in another country and are passing through the country.
[p.68]
If private households live independently inside the collective housing, you must complete the interview in its entirety, completely filling out the form and following the same instructions given in the case of people who reside in private housing.
In order to illustrate the place of registration, two examples of collective housing are presented below:
[Omitted list]
Specific Instructions for Filling Out the Census Form in Collective Housing:
Section A: Geographic location
- Follow the same instructions given in the case of private housing, with the exception that in box No. 12 (Household Number) you will enter double zero (00)
Section B: Housing data
- From this section only question No. 1 will apply, marking the corresponding alternative between categories 08 to 13. The rest of the questions must be left blank. You must then go to section F on population characteristics.
[p.69]
Section F: Population Characteristics
- Except in cases where instructions are established in this regard, in general, the data in this section must be obtained from each of the residents of the housing.
- The person's order number will always and in all cases be 99.
- In question No. 1, mark option 14: Resident in collective housing.
- Apply the rest of the questions (2 to 30) to each member of the collective housing, following the instructions given in the case of private housing in the Enumerator's Manual.
X. Form review
Once each of the interviews of the habitual residents of the household is concluded; before leaving the housing, carefully review the recorded data and make sure that all questions on the census form are filled out with the required information.
Don't forget to fill out the population summary table, which is at the bottom of the first page of the form. Write down the total number of people and describe how many are men and how many are women.
This Summary table must be completed at the housing level, including collective housing, once the interview has concluded.
[Omitted figure]
Observations
On the last page of the census form there are lines intended for observations; the enumerator must write down any information that is considered useful for the subsequent interpretation of the census data.
For each observation, the section number and question number should be noted for reference. At the end, indicate the date of the interview, write your name and the name of the Sector Head.
Finally, do not forget to place the sticker of registered in a visible and safe place, out of the reach of children.
