Chapter one
Purpose, significance, and legal background of population and housing census

1.1. Purpose and Importance of population and housing census
Population and housing census refers to the comprehensive process of collecting, developing, analyzing, evaluating, publishing, and disseminating the demographic, economic, social, and housing data pertaining total population in the territory (or specific parts of the territory) within a specified period.

The UN Statistical Commission was convened in 2005. From its 36th session, member states were recommended to undertake a population and housing census at least once during the period 2005-2014 as well as to establish an extensive database that serves as the primary source of information for small-area, national, and international planning, and development and to disseminate results. The main content of the recommendation was to introduce an integrated methodology changing the previous course in which member states undertook population and housing censuses in various periods and to generate worldwide comparable common development goals, explicitly determining and evaluating implementation results of the Millennium Development Goals at the national, regional and international levels and to establish the specialized and extensive statistical database on indicators levels and their changes and to establish evidence-based planning assuring each citizen's benefits. During the period 2005-2014, 223 countries will undertake the population and housing census using integrated methodologies. In 2010, Mongolia is planning to launch its regular 10th population and housing census in the framework of independent law.

Mongolia has rich experience in the population and census undertaken in total 9 times in the twentieth century namely in 1918, 1935, 1944, 1944, 1956, 1963, 1969, 1979, and 2000 and the last four censuses were organized along with housing censuses.

The purpose of the 2010 national population and housing census (hereinafter the census) is to examine the demographic, economic, and social changes in the last decade and their reasons and circumstances and to future demographic, economic, and social development and to elaborate relevant policies and programs and to establish the essential statistics required for academic research.

It is necessary to establish a comprehensive database of Mongolia's population, age, sex structure, education, employment, and economic activities to evaluate past national development and determine future tendencies. Furthermore, it is significant to evaluate government policies and programs implemented toward decreasing unemployment and poverty, ensuring population growth and development, increasing household environments, and providing housing. All these efforts are crucial to develop and implement future government policies and programs.

Instruction for filling in census questionnaire Form HAOST-1

Upon the launch of the census, the enumerator knocks at the door of the household or public building, greets politely, and presents an enumerator's identity card. The first impression of the enumerator will affect their willingness to collaborate with you. Therefore, it is important to introduce yourself first in a friendly manner.

When you communicate with the respondent, try to make them feel confident. Use a few thoughtful and friendly words to attract the respondent. Start the conversation with a smile and greet them such as "How are you doing, are you having a good winter", etc. You greet them related to seasons and the work they are doing. The introduction can be in the following form:

"How are you doing, are you all having a good winter?"

My name is ... I am working as an enumerator in the "2010 State Population and Housing Census" (show the enumerator's identity card). The 2010 State Population and Housing Census is to be undertaken on November 11-17, 2010. By participating in the census and providing accurate information, you are contributing to the future well-being of yourself and your children".

The enumerator adheres strictly enumerating each person individually. Census questionnaires are completed by asking each person in a household aged 16 or older. Information about children under the age of 16 shall be filled in by asking the household head or a family member aged 16 or older. If the household head or household members aged 16 or older are absent during census days, census questionnaires can be asked to children under 16 who are familiar with information on household members and capable to respond. If household members are absent during census days, or if persons who have no family or kinship ties are present, or who are related to family or kinship but not familiar with the information on household members, the enumerator has to revisit for the census. When non-household persons are enumerated (non-relatives or family ties), complete the census questionnaire by asking each person.

[p.15]

3.1. Principles for filling in the census questionnaire
Household and household membership. A household is a group of persons who reside in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement for budget and provision of food and basic needs. Household members can hold family, kinship, and relative ties, and some households can not necessarily be related to each other at all.

Household is different from family. Several families may live in the same household. At the time of the census, in addition to household members, if there are persons living in the same household, who have no family, kinship, or relative ties, they will be enumerated as in this household.

Family members on military service, or studying in other provinces or capitals will be enumerated in the household. As these persons are residing in provinces or capitals other than their main administrative units for more than 6 months (183 days), they will be enumerated as permanent residents in the place of residence. However, if soldiers, students, and pupils are at home on leave or vacation during the census, they will be enumerated as permanent residents.

Detainees, convicts, and prisoners in detention facilities are not enumerated in a household regardless of their terms.

The enumerator carefully discusses household members and determines persons to be enumerated in the household based on the definition of household provided at the beginning of this section. After this process, the enumerator will open a questionnaire for each household. However, the enumerator first clarifies who is permanently residing, temporarily absent, or temporarily residing, and finalizes the number of respondents in the household. Then he first writes down the details of the household head including a family name, a surname, a first name, and then other household members.

When opening a household questionnaire, the enumerator does not consider the type of their housing. In other words, one or several may reside in one dwelling. These households may reside in dormitories, staff dormitories, roofs, entrances, tunnels, heating ducts, warehouses, forests, mountains, and caves.

[p.16]

A group of persons living together and having no family, relative, or kin ties is considered a non-household. During the census, non-household persons living in one dwelling or a part of a dwelling or renting a room together are enumerated in one questionnaire. In question A9 of Address Section I, the "Non-household" or the code "3" is selected. The following cases may occur.

The general methodology shall be followed to fill in census questionnaires. It includes:

For question 15 "What is the highest level of your education completed?" if the enumerator fills in one of the codes between 2 to 9, pay attention to the arrow to ask question 17. For example,

[A figure is omitted here]

[p.19]

3.2. Fill in supplemental sheets for the census questionnaire
Each form HAOST-1 will be used to enumerate 6 persons. If more than 6 persons are enumerated, additional questionnaire sheet will be used. Depending on the number of household members and non-household persons, Form HAOST-1a and Form HAOST-1b of "Census questionnaire supplemental sheet" will be used. Depending on the number of citizens residing abroad for more than 6 months, Form HAOST-1c "Additional sheet of the census questionnaire for Group II" will be used.

If there are more than six household members or non-household persons, the Form HAOST-1a Supplemental Sheet (to enumerate 2 persons) will be used from the seventh person. Form HAOST-1b (to enumerate 4 persons) will be used for the "Population Questionnaire" to enumerate non-household persons living in public buildings or other buildings for public use. Form HAOST-1 will be used to enumerate non-household persons residing in dwellings such as student dormitories, worker dormitories, nursing homes, military barracks, and prisons. Form HAOST-1b Additional Sheet will be used to enumerate up to 99 persons. If there are more than 99 persons, reopen a new Form HAOST-1 and use a supplemental sheet for the enumeration.

Starting from the first day, the first household is to be filled as "001" in the three boxes of the A6. Census questionnaire number. For example

[The example is omitted here]

A7. Village name and code
According to the Law on Legal Status of Towns and Villages, the village population is classified as residents of self-governed settlements with 500-15000 inhabitants and have intensively developed the following sectors such as agriculture, industry, tourism, recreation, sanatoriums, transportation, and trade. If the respondent's place of residence belongs to a village as indicated in the above provisions, the official name of village needs to be written in full. Fill in the village name and code from Appendix 2 "List of villages (urban style settlements) in Mongolia". For example: For Shargaljuut village located in Bayankhongor soum, Bayankhongor province, fill Shargaljuut in the

A7. Village name and "02" in the code boxes.

A8. Location
During the census, the locality of households and population is divided into five categories such as Capital city "1", Aimag center "2", Village "3", Soum center "4", Countryside "5" and the corresponding codes are filled in the back boxes. For example, for Shargaljuut located in Bayankhongor soum, Bayankhongor province, fill "3" in the A8. Location.

A9. Main household
The enumerator asks the household (if the household head is absent, ask any household member aged 16 or over) how many households live in the dwelling, and if there is only one household, it is stated as a "main household", and if there are two or more households, start enumerating from the main household. The enumerator opens a new questionnaire for each household residing in the same dwelling and fills in "1" for the main household. Household residents will decide voluntarily which household to choose as a main household. If a household cannot decide on the "main household", it can be determined based on which household lived in the dwelling for the longest time even though different household owns it with a warrant or rental agreement. For example, if the owner household rents a room to others, the owner household will be called a "main household" and the other will be called a "sharing household". In the census, completing the questionnaire as "Main household" or "sharing household" does not affect the future ownership of housing. Carefully describe the occupants that it is only intended for preventing duplicate enumeration of housing rooms, areas, and other indicators and developing the housing policy. For example, Bold rents his three-room apartment to Bat's family, a single woman named Tsetseg, and two students. But Bold's family does not live in this building. In this case, Bat's family has many older members and will be enumerated as a "main household". The code "1" will be selected.

[p.24]

Sharing household. For households other than the main households living in the same housing, fill in the "sharing household" or code "2". For example, in the above case, Tsetseg will fill in "sharing household" or the code "2"

Non-household. During the census, fill in the code for non-household persons living in all types of housing such as gers, houses, and non-purpose and other housing. For example, in the above case, if two students have no family or kinship ties, circle the "non-household" or the code "3".

A10. Numerated persons
It refers to the number of persons who are enumerated by population questionnaires.

A11. Number of additional sheets
Open an additional sheet for more than six household and non-household persons and continue asking the population questionnaire. In this case, regardless of Form HAOST-1a and Form HAOST-2, the number of newly opened questionnaire sheets will be filled in two cells of Additional questionnaire sheets. The number of pages refers to the number of papers. However, if the household or non-household up to 6 persons are enumerated, "00" must be filled in two boxes of A11 or the Number of additional sheets of the census questionnaire. The census committee number, province, capital city, soum, district, baga, khoroo name, code, and census questionnaire number in the header of the additional sheet shall be the same as the corresponding name, number, and code of the main census questionnaire. As mentioned in previous examples, the codes shall be filled the same as in A1-A6.

A1. Census committee number 189
A4. Baga and khoroo code 51
A5. Enumerator number 15
A6. Questionnaire form number 001

[p.25]

A12. Are there any family members of this household residing abroad for work or study for over six months?

1. Was the person to be enumerated an official member of the household before moving abroad?

2. Is there any person who lived separately from blood relatives, such as brothers, sisters, and children, and moved abroad with his family?

B column - Surname name and given name. Based on the provision of Paragraph 3, Article 24 of Law on Family, "A child shall have a father's name", or "The mother's name can be given to a child whose marriage of parents is not registered or the parentage has not been established by the competent institution". Based on these provisions, write the surname of the citizen living abroad.

[p.26]

1st column - Relationship to the household head
Ask what the relationship is between the citizen living abroad for over 6 months and the household head. Fill in the corresponding response code from 02 to 10 for question 1 "What is your relationship with a household head?" in the population questionnaire. If a household head lives abroad, a husband/wife replaces this person as the household head. For example, Gerel and Bat are married. At the time of the census, Bat lives abroad for work. In this case, the enumerator asks for information on Bat and fills in the code "02" for the wife/husband of the household head in the "Relationship with household" column. Gerel, his wife, is selected as the first person in the "Population questionnaire".

However, the respondent does not know their age by the calendar but is aware of his date of birth by the lunar calendar. In this case, refer to Appendix 3b to determine the age. For example, Bat was born on November 12, 1978, and his full age will be "31". Because Bat's birthday falls behind the census date. For more information on age calculation, refer to the definition of question 4 of the Population questionnaire.

4th column - Residing country

Please note that questions 1-13 of the census questionnaire are filled out by asking all age persons.

Question one -- Are you a household head? What is your relationship with the household head?
Ask how household members are related to the household head and circle the corresponding code from 02-11 for each person. For households, only fill in the information on the household head on the first page of "Person No.1". For non-household members, fill in the information on one of the persons in the "Person No.1" sheet and circle "None" or "11" for the response.

Household head. If the household head is not clear, household members shall decide the household head voluntarily. A household head can be determined as any household member who is over 16 years old and employed or the main contributor to a household income, and who has the main responsibility to solve household matters. The opinion of household members over 16 years old shall be taken into account.

Question two -- Your sex
The enumerator shall note that each respondent must answer this question. Ask the respondent and fill in the corresponding response. A young child shall not be determined as a male or female based on their name and outwears.

[p.30]

Question three -- What is your date of birth?
Write the year, month, and day of the enumerator's birth as stated. However, it shall be noted that the date shall match the identity card, birth certificate, foreign passport, residence card, and other documents if the enumerator is unsure of the birth date, foreign passport, birth certificate, and similar documents with a respondent's consent. If the respondent is unsure of the birth date by the calendar but knows the birth date by the lunar calendar, find out the year of birth after careful discussion and convert it into the Western year using the "Age reference chart" in Appendix 3b.

Question four -- How old are you? (In a completed year)
The age of the respondent is calculated by completed years. Although a few days left to reach the complete year, the enumerator does not raise the age of the respondent. The age of a child under one year shall be recorded as "000". The enumerator first asks for the person's birth date (year, month, day) and compares it with the census date of January 9, 2020. If it doesn't match, ask the respondents again to determine the correct age. However, if the enumerator knows the year of birth, the enumerator shall fill up the age from Appendix 3a "Age reference age".

For example, citizen Bat was born on November 12, 1978, and his complete age shall be "31". Because his birth is after the census date. Refer to Appendix 3a as follows.

Age reference chart based on birth year
As of November 11, 2010
(Only for population and housing census)

Following orders shall be applied to determine the respondent's age with Appendix 3a.

[p.31]

Question five -- What is your citizenship?
Information on citizenship shall be collected from a respondent. For all citizens of Mongolia, circle the code for Mongolia or "01". For foreign nationals, refer to "List of some countries in the world" instead of official names of countries and fill it up in the column Foreign (specify a country) in capital letters. If parents' citizenship is different, a citizen over the age of 16 can decide independently which citizenship of parents will be chosen. But the citizenship of children under the age of 16 shall be based on parents' decisions. If parents disagree on their children's citizenship, fill it up based on a mother's citizenship. For persons without citizenship, circle the code "02" or "stateless". If the enumerator fills in codes other than "Mongolian", move on to Question 7. For example, citizen Kim Jang Min is a citizen of the Republic of Korea, fill in the questionnaire as follows.

[The example is omitted below]

Question 6 -- What is your ethnicity?
Only Mongolian citizens shall answer this question. Foreign nationals and stateless persons will not respond to this question. Fill in the ethnicity of a Mongolian citizen based on his or her response. Parents determine a child's ethnicity. In case parents are not able to determine it, the child's ethnicity shall follow the mother's. For Khalkh ethnicity, circle the code "01". For other ethnic groups other than Khalkh, fill in the corresponding code from Appendix 5 "List of ethnic classification in Mongolia and codes" of this instruction. This is not intended to disregard or ignore other ethnicities, and only aimed to facilitate enumerators' jobs. According to the 2000 Population and Housing Census, nearly 80 percent of Mongolia's population belonged to the "Khalkh" ethnic group, so enumerators will be prevented from writing the Khalkh numerous times.

Question 7 -- What is your residency status?

Instruction and examples to fill in the responses for questions 21-25 in the population questionnaire
Questions are "What is your occupation?", "What is the main economic activity of your work (organization)?". The enumerator shall neatly record responses in capital letters to make them clear, specific (not general), and easy for coders. For example, in question 22 "What is your occupation?", the response is "a teacher". In question 23 "What is the main economic activity of your work (organization)?", the response is "private company". Avoid writing such vague responses, and writing only the name of the company/organization. So, let's explain with the following examples to make it understandable.

a. Ask thoroughly and fill in the respondent's occupation and the main economic activity of the enterprise and organization.

[p.45]

Example No.1. The respondent answered that his occupation is a "manager" and the main economic activity of the enterprise is "industry and trade". In this case, ask the respondent in detail such as which section or department and what kind of manager (general manager, sales manager or marketing manager) and what kind of industry and trade. The respondent answered for clarification that he works as a marketing manager in a sausage production and sales company. Furthermore, ask questions like "Do you get paid? or do you own the enterprise or organization?". If he does not own but gets paid for it, the employment status will be "paid employee".

If the respondent answers that the main economic activity of the enterprise is "trade" and he works as a salesman. In this case, clarify which type of whole or retail sales and what kind of trade the enterprise is engaged in.

Example No.2, if the respondent is engaged in vegetable wholesale, fill in the vegetable wholesale. According to the above example, as the respondent works as a vegetable salesman in the wholesale place, his employment status is clear. Because he gets paid as a salesman. Clarify who owns the wholesale place. If he does not own the place, write the employment status as "paid employee".

Example No.3, It is necessary to clearly state specialized workers' jobs by their specializations. If the respondent answers only "operator", it is not enough to simply record "operator". Write which machinery or equipment the respondent is specialized in. In example No.3, the respondent is specialized as an equipment operator at a cement plant. The employment status will be filled in as follows. Regarding the main economic activity of the enterprise, it is clear that he is engaged in paid employment at the plant. So, the employment status is "paid employee".

b. Examples to fill in questions if the respondent has double jobs.

Example No.4, If the respondent has more than one job in the last 7 days before the census date, fill in the questionnaire with his/her main job. The main job refers to the work where he spends more hours in 7 days before the census date. If he spends the same hours, the most earned job will be the main one. In example No.4, Tsetseg works as a general accountant in a gold mining enterprise. At the time, she had a part-time job as an accountant at a shop. In this case, her occupation is an "economist" as she spends more time in this job. Her main economic activity is "gold mining activities". From her occupation, it is clear that Tsetseg is engaged in paid employment. However, clarify who owns the enterprise in which she works. If the property is not related to her, she will be considered a "paid employee".

c. Examples to fill questionnaires for the self-employed.

Fill in questions 21-24 as follows (Example No.5a) for those aged 15 or over except household heads. These are engaged in household enterprises (livestock breeding, agriculture, etc.) and not engaged in paid jobs. Because they do not get paid for participating in household enterprises. So, their employment status will be "unpaid household enterprise member". In other words, their employment status cannot be considered as self-employed. Because they participate in a household enterprise. They are not engaged in individual production or services. Furthermore, they have 10 horses, 18 cattle, 7 camels, and 15 sheep. The cattle are the most numerous. The main economic activity will be "cattle breeding".

[p.46]

The household regularly hires other household members for livestock breeding and pays physical and monetary wages. The employment status of the household head will be "employer", not "self-employed" (Example No.5b). The household has 17 horses, 24 cattle, 15 camels, 339 sheep, and 121 goats. The economic activity of the household will be "sheep breeding".
Fill in the employment of any petty trading, handcrafts, and service providers as follows. The employment status of these persons will be self-employed. Because they have their production and services. In example No.6, if the respondent answers that he washes cars, ask whether he washes them individually and what kind of cars he washes.

3.6. Instruction to fill in the housing questionnaire.

Question one -- What type of living quarter does your household occupy?
The term "quarter" used in the housing census is extensively broad. It includes all types of housing in which families live at the time of the census. For example, all types of houses, gers, Tsaatan tents, student dormitories, pupil dormitories, and staff accommodations, public buildings, military camps, prisons, nursing homes, and other types of housing units (places in apartment basements, wells of heating networks, manholes, wagons, etc.). Dwellings can be either residential or non-residential. Quarters include all types of housing built for trade, service, industry, agriculture and but repaired and furnished for residential use. Residential housing can be divided into four categories including ger, house/building, living quarter not intended for human habitation, and others.

If a household owns two or more buildings and homes, fill in the housing questionnaire based on housing where the household usually lives and is located most of the day, or where the household head lives. The household lives in more than 2 dwellings built for private use. The dwellings have no special layout and were built under the same housing conditions. They have the same address. In this case, these dwellings can be considered "one dwelling". Fill in the number of rooms and infrastructure provisions as the same quarter. For example, the rooms of two buildings will be added and considered the same quarter. The infrastructure provision includes a kitchen, bathroom, electricity, heating sources, water supply, sewage systems, waste disposal, and toilets. Before filling in the housing questionnaire, the enumerator shall find in the details as follows and fill in the appropriate codes. It includes:

If the respondent answered to live in a ger, circle the code "1" and move to question 9 or questionnaire for households living in a ger. If the respondent answered to live in a house or building, circle the code "2" and ask the next question (question 2) or questionnaire for families living in a house. If the enumerator filled codes "3" and "4" for non-purpose and others, move on question 11 or to be asked from all households.

For example, Gerel and Erdene's family live in a rented building built for office use. Gerel's family rented 3 rooms in this building. One room is used for running a grocery store. They live in two rooms. Fill the code "3" or "non-purpose housing" and skip the question 10 and move to question 11. Erdene's family rented 2 rooms in an apartment basement. One room is used for shoe repair services. They live in the other room. Circle Erdene's housing type as "4" or "other" and move to question 12.

Households living in a house/building will answer.

[p.48]

Question two -- What is the type of your house/building?
The main goal of the housing census is to collect detailed information about the conditions of individual housing in which the population lives. This is because information about this is the most important need for developing policies and programs for housing the population and evaluating the implementation. According to the type of building, it is classified as an apartment building, comfortable independent apartment, separate apartment building, public housing for students and pupils, public housing for employees, and other public housing.

All types of quarters are divided into 2 main categories, namely independent houses and public buildings. The housing questionnaire aims to collect detailed information on the conditions of individual residential housing. This information is essential to develop housing policy and programs and to evaluate the implementation. The house/building is divided into apartments, convenient single-family house, single family house, student dormitories, staff dormitories, and other public dwellings.

Before filling in the question related to house/building types, the enumerator clarifies it and fills in the corresponding code in the questionnaire. House/building types include apartment/condominium, convenient single-family house, single-family house, dormitories, and other public dwellings. If the enumerator circles the code "6" or "other public dwelling", move to question 11 to be asked from all households. For example, Orgil's family lives in a 2-room apartment in the residential building No.27 (suitable for 360 units), khoroolol 1. Munkhgerel is Orgil's sister. She lives in a convenient single 6-room house in Sharga Morit with her family. For Orgil's family, circle the code "1" or "Apartment/Condominium". For Munkhgerel's family, circle the code "2" or "Convenient single family house". Orgil's father lives in a ger district and owns a 3-room house connected to infrastructure. In this case, circle the code "3" or "Single family house".

Question three -- How many rooms are there in your dwelling?
The term "Room" refers to a space located in a dwelling, separated by a wall, floor, and roof, with a total area of 4m2 and a height of at least 2 meters. In order, it is a space where at least an adult bed can be placed. Rooms include living, bed, kids, and office rooms, but do not include auxiliary rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, hallways, closets, storage rooms, and balconies.

[p.50]

One or several households may live in the dwelling. Questionnaires will be opened for each household in the apartment. In this case, the number of rooms will be duplicated for the questionnaire. The main household is enumerated under code "1" in A9. Section Address. This household will be enumerated with the number of rooms (living, bed, kids, and office rooms) as a whole. However, for sharing households (filled the code "2") and non-household members (filled the code "3"), the enumerator fills only the number of rooms which these persons occupy in the apartment. In dormitories, persons are unrelated to each other and live in the same dwelling. In this case, for those enumerated in the same questionnaire, the number of their rooms will be filled as a whole. The number of rooms shall be filled (as 01, 02, etc.) in the cells behind the question. For example, Bat's family lives in one room of a 3-room apartment. He rents one room for Tsetseg's family and another one for two students respectively. In this case, Bat's family will be the "main household". The number of rooms will be 03. Tsetseg's family will be the "shared household" and the number of rooms will be 01. These two students will be the "non-household members" and the number of rooms will be 01 as well.

Question four -- What is the size of the total floor space?
The total floor space is the sum of the living areas /living, bed, kids, office, and dining rooms/ and auxiliary areas /kitchen, bathroom, toilet, hallway, closet, and store room/. Please refer to the below layout for the living area. (Living room -S1, bedroom- S2, kids' room - S3, dining room - S4) and auxiliary area (Kitchen - S4, toilet - S5, hallway - S6, Closet - S7, Store room - S8).

A dining room can be a separate area next to leisure or living rooms. It also can be the area in the corner of the living room with or without separated walls.

If the respondent does not know the total floor space, the enumerator may advise him to look at the dwelling owner's contract, and the state registration certificate of real estate ownership. If the respondent has bought a newly-constructed building, it will be the area that he is paying for. For self-built dwellings, the enumerator shall advise him to use an accurate method for measurement. For example, the owners measure the area themselves. If the respondent is unable to determine the size of the floor space in any way, please fill in "Don't know" or "999". For example, one or several households may live in the dwelling. Questionnaires will be opened for each household in the apartment. In this case, the size of the total floor space will be duplicated for the questionnaire. The main household is enumerated under code "1" in A9.

[p.51]

Section Address. This household will be enumerated with the size of the total floor space as a whole. However, for sharing households (filled in the code "2") and non-household members (filled in the code "3"), the enumerator fills in only the size of the floor space which these persons occupy in the apartment. In dormitories, persons are unrelated to each other and live in the same dwelling. In this case, for those enumerated in the same questionnaire, the size of their occupied floor space will be filled as a whole. For example, Bat's family has a 3-room apartment with 86 square meters. His family lives in one room of this apartment. Bat rents one room for Tsetseg's family and another one for two students respectively. In this case, Bat's family will be the "main household". The first room's area is 35 square meters. The second room's area or Tsetseg's family is 25 square meters. The third room's area for two students is 15 square meters. The additional or auxiliary area covers 10 square meters. In this case, the enumerator fills in the size of the total floor space equal to 85 square meters. It includes 35 square meters for their residing area, 10 square meters for the auxiliary area, 25 square meters for Tsetseg's room, and 15 square meters for the room area of two students. However, as a shared household, please only fill in the living area of Tsetseg's family equal to 25 square meters. As non-household members, please fill in the living area of two students equal to 15 square meters.

Question five -- Do you have a kitchen?
A kitchen is an area that meets the definition of "room" and is originally equipped for preparing food and drinks. The following details shall be clarified.

If there is a kitchen corner or area for cooking and preparing food in one part of the living room, it is considered to be a kitchen. If there is a separate kitchen, choose an appropriate code from 3 responses: "exclusive use", "shared", and "no kitchen". For example, Orgil's family has a separate kitchen. Munkhgerel is Orgil's sister. Her family has a kitchen corner in the living room. Orgil's father has a kitchen section separated by a wall fireplace from the living room. All kitchen utensils are placed in this kitchen area. They also prepare their meals there. In this case, all these households are considered to have a separate kitchen. As each household resides alone in their dwelling, please circle the code "1" or "exclusive use".

[p.52]

Question six -- Do you have a bath or shower in this dwelling?
It is important to collect data through the census to determine whether a shower or toilet is installed in each dwelling. This question specifies whether there is a shower or bathtub in each dwelling, whether it is for exclusive use or in common/shared, and whether no shower and bathtub is installed at all.

- Exclusive use.

- Shared. This refers to a shower and bath installed in apartments, and dormitories and shared by households and population in these dwellings.
- No bath or shower available. This refers to dwellings without any installed and mobile baths or showers available.

If the enumerator selects "exclusive ownership", please clarify from the appropriate code from four responses namely "installed", "assembled/mobile", "shared", and "not available". For example, Orgil's family has a 2-room apartment and rents one room to a student. They share a shower and bath. In this case, the response will be "shared" or "3". Orgil's sister has a separate bathroom. It shall be filled with "fixed bath or shower" or code "1". Orgil's father uses an assembled shower for their exclusive use. It shall be filled with "assembled/mobile" or code "2".

Question seven -- What is your water supply system?
This question collects basic data on whether a dwelling is connected to the centralized or individual water supply system or has a portable water supply including wells, springs, ponds, rivers, streams, or lakes.

Central water supply. Central water supply. This includes a system that distributes water centrally from state or local heating and water supply enterprises and organizations to apartments, convenient single houses, dormitories, and other public dwellings. The central water system is state-owned. The centralized networks are operated by public authorities. In some cases, they are operated by cooperatives and private enterprises.

[p.53]

Non-central water supply system.

Independent system: This refers to a small-sized system installed for providing the needs of the dwelling. This system distributes water independently, not related to state or local heating and water supply enterprises and organizations. For example, this system is regularly installed in convenient single houses and single-family houses. It comprises water heating boilers, and a small-sized water supply system designed for household needs, etc.
Regardless of the types and shapes of water carriers, portable water supply for households includes the following.

The enumerator fills in "central water supply" or code "1" of "individual system" or code "2". If there is no access to the water supply system, please circle "portable" or code "3" and skip question 8 "do you have hot or cold water?", questions 9-10 or to be asked by households living in gers, and move to question 11 or "what is the main source of your drinking water?". For example, Orgil's apartment is connected to the central water supply system ("Central water supply system" or code "1"). Munkgerel's family has a small sized water supply system that distributes water from a deep well. This system is for their household's need or exclusive use ("Independent system" or code "2"). Orgil's father has a portable water supply ("portable" or code "3").

Question eight -- Do you have hot or cold water?
If the household lives in a building and is connected to a central or independent water supply system, please clarify whether they have cold or hot water. Then please circle the appropriate code, skip questions 9-10 or to be asked from households living in gers, and move to question 11 or "what is the main source of drinking water?".

For example, orgil and his sister munkhgerel have both hot and cold water in their dwellings. In this case, please circle "both hot and cold water" or code "1". Orgil's father does not need to answer this question. So please skip questions 9-10 or to be asked from households living in gers and ask question 11 or what is the main source of drinking water.

[p.54]

To be asked from households living in gers

Question nine -- How many gers does your family household have?
One household may live in several gers. Please record the number of gers for this question. It includes Tsaatan tents as well. For example, Bat's family has six members.

Question ten -- How many walls does the main ger have?
At the time of the census, the number of ger walls (khana) shall be recorded in the cells, regardless of the number of wall tops. If the household has two gers, please record only the wall number of the main ger. The main ger refers to a ger where the household mainly lives in wintertime or where most household members or the household head live. The number of Tsaatan tent's walls will always be written as "05" in the cells of "Number of walls". For example, Bat lives with his wife and youngest son in a 6-wall ger, and his children live in a 5-wall ger. In this case, the number of ger walls is based on where the household head resides. So, it shall be written as "06".

To be asked from all households

Question eleven -- What is the main source of drinking water?
This aims to determine the main source of clean drinking water for the population. The guaranteed drinking water sources include central systems, water stations connected or not connected to central systems, protected wells, springs, fountains, and purified bottled waters. However, surface water such as unprotected wells, springs, foundations, portable water, rivers, streams, and lakes are not included in improved drinking water sources.

Central system. This includes a system that distributes water centrally from state or local heating and water supply enterprises and organizations to apartments, convenient single houses, dormitories, and other public dwellings. The central system is state-owned. The centralized networks are mostly operated by public authorities. In some cases, they are operated by cooperatives and private enterprises

[p.55]

Water station connected with central water. This refers to water distribution premises connected to a centralized water supply system in cities and towns.

Protected wells. This refers to wells that were built according to the layout, draw water directly through motors or other equipment, and that have facilities over them, and are fenced to establish sanitary zones and protected, and that can't be entered by animals or herds. In most cases, deep wells (deep wells connected to the network) are also included.

Protected streams and fountains. This includes streams and fountains which are protected and fixed, where animals and herds can't enter.

Purified, bottled water. The enterprises receive special control and permissions. This refers to the water which was purified and bottled by these enterprises under standards and prepared for drinking water.

Water station not connected to central water. This applies to cases where water is distributed to the water distribution facilities by using special vehicles of authorized organizations and enterprises.

Portable water. Authorized organizations, enterprises, and citizens supply water directly to households through vehicles and regular machines.

Rivers, streams, lakes, unprotected wells, springs, wells. This refers to unprotected mine wells dug out by citizens, springs, fountains. Rivers, streams, lakes, rain, snow and ditch waters are also included.

If the household collects water from various sources, please choose the mainly used water source. If the main water source is the central system, please skip question 12 or "How far do you get drinking water from?" and ask question 13.
For example, Orgil's apartment is connected to a central system. Circle the code "2" or "Central system" and skip question 13 or "how far do you usually get your drinking water from?". Munkhgerel, Orgil's sister, has a small water distribution system for exclusive use and gets water from a deep well. Circle the code "3" or "protected well". However, Orgil's father gets water from a water station that transports from a protected well. In this case, circle the code "6" or "Water station not connected with the central water supply system".

Question twelve -- How far do you usually get your drinking water from?
According to "Global water supply and sanitation assessment 2000 report", "Reasonable access to water is defined as the availability of at least 20 liters per person per day from a source within 1000 meters of the user's dwelling". In the Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses for UN member states, households with water systems within 200 meters of their dwellings are regarded to have "reasonable access". The ordinary protected zone shall be established at least 200 meters from the bank of the water basin area and the hygiene zone shall be established at least 100 meters from the water supply source.

[p.56]

If a household or population has drinking water access from a source other than a central system, please select the distance informed by the respondent. Circle the appropriate code, namely "1" or "within 200 meters", "2" or "200-1000 meters" or "3" or "over 1000 meters". If the respondent does not know the distance, the enumerator can advise to estimate distance like 200 meters from any corner of Sukhbaatar square to Sukhbaatar monument, 500 meters from the entrance of the State Department Store to the circus. The estimation can be based on the distance of 200 meters between rural electricity poles.

Question thirteen -- What is the main source of the electricity of this dwelling?
Electricity supply is one of the important indicators of household housing conditions. Most countries collect data on electricity consumption through household censuses. In the conditions of our country, the sources of electricity are classified as hydro and thermal power plants, diesel plants, renewable energy devices or solar and wind energy devices, small-sized generators, and no electricity sources.

A household or population may have several sources of electricity. In this case, ask about the main source of electricity for the dwelling and circle the appropriate code, namely "1" or "Central power system", "2" or Diesel generating plants, "3" or Renewable energy system, "4" or "Small-sized generator". If electricity is not used at all, circle the code "5" or "No electricity source".

Central power system. If a household gets its electricity from the state power and hydropower plants, the dwelling is considered to have a central system. Power networks (sub stations) connected to power stations are understood as a central system.

Diesel generating plants. In local areas, this refers to dwellings with power networks connected to independent diesel stations. Here we shall understand power networks connected to specially built diesel plants.

Renewable energy system. This includes equipment that collects solar and wind energy and turns it into electricity.
Small-sized generators. This includes small-sized motors and generators that use combustion or other materials to meet the needs of one household or a group of households.

For example, the following three live in the capital: Orgil, his sister Munkhgerel, and Orgil's father. Their electricity is supplied by power plants. Circle the code "1" or "Central power system". Bat's family lives in the countryside. They use solar energy equipment to meet electricity needs. Circle "3" or "Renewable energy system". Let's look at another example. Tsengel, Bat's younger brother, works as a security guard for a private enterprise in a province's center. He lives in a ger located in the yard of his workplace and gets electricity from his office. The company has a diesel station that only supplies electricity to its own company. In this case, circle the code "2" or "Diesel generating plants" as the electricity source for Tsengel's family.

[p.56]

Question fourteen -- What is the main source of heating of this dwelling?
This question collects data on heating, and its energy sources used for these dwellings. This includes types of heating systems for keeping dwellings warm. It can be a central heating system, low-pressure stoves, furnaces, ordinary stoves, and other types of heaters for warming the whole dwellings. Ask the main source of heating of dwellings, circle the appropriate code, "1" of Central heating system, "2" or "Low-pressure stoves", "3" or Electric heaters, "4" or "Fire stoves".

Central heating system. At the national and local levels, dwellings with a heating system connected to thermal power plants, and boilers are considered as central heating systems.

Low-pressure stoves. This includes small-sized stoves used in an integrated heating system to provide needs of a single or several households.

Electric heaters. This includes electric heaters for exclusive household use.

Fire stoves. This includes ordinary fire stoves used for firing and heating.
For example, Orgil's family is connected to a central heating system, and receives heating from it. In other words, the heaters (steams) are used in his apartment. The main source of heating will be "1" or "Central heating system". Munkhgerel, Orgil's sister, uses the floor heating system. It will be "3" or "electric heaters". Orgil's father uses a wall furnace. Bat, a countryman, uses fire stoves for heating. It will be "4" or "Fire stove" respectively.

Question fifteen -- What is the main type of fuel used for cooking?
The number of households using solid fuel is an indicator of the Millenium Development Goals. The use of solid fuel has negative effects such as increasing air pollution, reducing the size of forested areas, creating soil degradation, and emitting greenhouse gasses. Therefore, it is important to collect data from households and the population on fuel use for cooking.

[p.57]

Fill the appropriate code for this question, namely "1" or "Electricity", "2" or "Gas", "3" or "Wood" (sawdust is included), "4" or "Coal", and "5" or "Dung". This question aims to clarify which type of fuel is mainly used for cooking. For example, the household uses both electricity and gas for cooking. In this case, record the mainly used fuel. If there is no appropriate code (for straws and paper), circle the code "2" or "others".

For example, Orgil and Munkhgerel, Orgil's sister, live in the buildings and use mainly electricity, but sometimes gasses. Orgil's father used electricity, coal, paper, and wood for cooking. But electricity is mainly used. In this case, circle the code "1" or "Electricity". The Bat's, a country family, use wood, and dung for cooking. But they mainly use the dung for cooking. In this case, circle the code "5" or "Dung". Bat's younger brother lives in the province's center. His family uses electricity, coal, paper, and wood for cooking. They mainly use coal for cooking. In this circle the code "4" or "coal".

Question sixteen -- What type of toilet facility do you have?
This refers to a place (in everyday language "00" or "Jorlon") used for the removal and collection of human urine and feces. The Millennium Development Goals set a target to reduce the proportion of the population with no access to improved sanitation (toilets) by 2015. The 2010 National Population and Housing Census will collect data to evaluate this target. Improved sanitation facilities include sanitary facilities with sewers (sewers are a network of lines for the collection, removal, and treatment of wastewater) as well as conventional pit latrines. "Bio" or so-called biological toilets have recently appeared. Regardless of their location, they will be included in improved sanitation facilities. If there is a toilet, circle the appropriate code, namely "1" or "within a housing unit", "2" or "outside a housing unit", and "3" or "no toilet available". If circled the code "3" or "no toilet available", move to question "18".

Within a housing unit. This includes toilets installed within a housing unit, and connected to central or independent sewage systems, and bio-toilets installed for regular use inside dwellings.

Outside a housing unit. This includes pit and bio-toilets located outside housing units. A pit toilet refers to a place with a ventilation pipe and exhaust, dug into the ground, lined with tiles, set up a hole for the seat, enclosed from the sides to prevent the entrance of surface water, or covered the hole with sacks.

No toilet available. This includes no fixed places, open places, or natural environments such as gullies and ravines used for toilets.

Question seventeen -- Do you share your toilet facility with others?
Circle an appropriate code based on whether the household shares or does not share the toilet with others, namely "1" or "Yes" and "2" or "No". For example, Bat's family has a 3-room apartment and rents one room. In this case, they share their toilet. So, circle the code "1" or "Yes".

[p.58]

Question eighteen -- How do you dispose of household solid waste?
It is understood as methods and forms to dispose of domestic sewage. In the conditions of our country, wastewater is removed using centralized and independent systems with pipelines and buildings for collection, removal, and treatment, collection in sewage pits, or dumping in open areas. You can understand how sewage is disposed of as follows.

Central sewage disposal system. The state and local sewage disposal enterprises or organizations dispose wastewater from apartments, convenient single-family houses, single-family houses, dormitories, and public dwellings.

Individual sewage disposal system (septic tanks). This includes a small-scale sewage disposal system installed for use in the given dwelling. This system is independent of local water supply companies or organizations. For example, it includes small-scale sewage disposal systems (waste and excrement neutralization tanks) for use in households in private and public dwellings.

Pit latrines. It is understood that sewage shall be dumped into designated sewage wells and latrine pits.

Open discharge. This includes incidents where sewage is dumped in open places with no special sewage disposal pipes or when the sewage is removed with manual methods such as hauling or burying. The enumerator clarifies whether sewage is discharged through a central or independent system, pit latrines or open discharge. Orgil's family lives in an apartment and disposes of sewage through a central system. Circle the code "1". Munkhgerel, Orgil's sister, disposes of sewage through an individual system. Circle the code "2". Orgil's father lives in the yard (khashaa) in the capital and disposal of sewage to a designated well. Tsengel, Bat's brother, lives in the yard of his workplace located in province's center. He disposes sewage into pit latrines. In this case, circle code "3" or "pit latrine". Bat's family lives in the countryside and disposes of sewage in open areas near his home. Circle the code "4" or "Open discharge or none".

Question nineteen -- How do you dispose of household solid waste?
In the context of ensuring the safety of sustainable development, this question collects data on how solid waste is removed and processed from households. However, animal excrement and wool are not included in the waste. Circle the appropriate response from the choices, namely, whether rgw waste is disposed of by authorized collectors or dispone themselves, including at a designated or approved point or not a fixed location.

[p.59]

Authorized collectors. This refers to incidents where the official state or local utility service agencies or others (collectors) are contracted for regular or irregular waste removal. For example, waste disposal pipes are usually found inside urban apartments or there are also garbage dumps outside the apartments.

Self-disposal. This includes cases where households dispose of their waste.

Disposed to a special site. This includes cases where households dispose of their waste in public garbage dumps, or special sites under the instruction of official utility service organizations or without official regulations.

None. This refers to cases where households don't have a specific place for waste disposal, and throw, bury or burn it in open areas.

For example, Orgil's family pours garbage into a waste disposal pipe located at the entrance of the apartment. In this case, circle the code "1" or "collected by authorized collectors". Munkhgerel, Orgil's sister, collects and transports garbage by vehicles and disposes it to a local dump area. Circle the code "2" or Dispose in an "Authorized" dump area. For Tsengel, Bat's younger brother, the waste is collected by a special vehicle from the province's utility service agency. Circle the code "1" or "Collected by authorized collectors". Bat, a countryman, disposes of garbage in near open areas. Circle the "3" or "None" for this case.

Question twenty -- What is the type of ownership for this dwelling? Housing
Programs in most countries include both public and private housing. Data collected by the Housing census is used to develop the housing policy and programs. There are two main types of housing in our country: public and private.

State-owned - State-owned housing includes state-owned, local administrative, and state-dominated (over 51 percent state-owned) enterprises and organizations' dwellings (the residing dwelling has been not privatized).

Private.

[p.60]

Question twenty-one -- Under what kind of tenure is this dwelling?
Tenure is different from ownership. It is defined based on conditions.

If the household is the owner of the dwelling, circle the code "1" or "Owner-occupied". If the household rents the dwelling, circle the code "2" or "Rental". If the household lives with no rental, circle the code "3" or "Occupied free of charge". For other conditions, circle the code "4" or "Other arrangements".

Owner-occupied. It includes privately owned housing privatized, purchased, or built individually.

Rental. This refers to dwellings rented by households or populations. These dwellings are owned by private or public enterprises, organizations, and other persons. If the household pays utility payments, it is not considered as rent.

Occupied free of charge. This refers to dwellings of state or private enterprises, organizations and private housing where households or populations reside free of charge.

Others. Arrangements other than the above-mentioned are included in this category.

For example, Orgil lives in an apartment owned by his organization free of charge. Circle the code "3" or "Occupied free of charge". His sister Munkhgerel lives in a privately owned dwelling. Circle the code "1" or "Owner occupied". Tsengel, Bat's younger brother, lives in a ger rented from his company. Circle the code "2" or "Rental".

3.7. Instruction to fill in Form HAOST-1-1 Death and maternal mortality questionnaire

Chapter five
Instruction to fill in the summary questionnaire form and to accept census materials.

5.1. Progress report on the census
For the capital city, province's center, or soum center, the enumerator shall provide a daily progress report of the census using Form HAOST-2. Each report shall be submitted to the supervisor before 09.00 a.m. of the next coming day. It must be in increased amounts.

For local bagas, the enumerator shall issue the progress reports before 09.00 a.m. on November 14th (from 11th to 13th), on the 18th (from 14th to 17th), and the summary report on November 19th.

[Table 5.1. is omitted here]

The census progress report belongs to the category of urgent statistical data. If it is interrupted or delayed, heads of province and district statistics divisions and state inspectors will charge a penalty for responsible persons per the relevant laws for each occasion.

The census progress report -1 shall be issued by using Form HAOST-4. The number of households and persons (number of household and non-household persons) shall be submitted to each enumerator from ad-hoc baga, khoroo bureaus.

[p.66]

5.2. Instruction to fill in Census progress data-1 Form HAOST
At the top of the table, fill in the census commission number, province, capital, soum, district, baga, khoroo name, code, enumerator number respectively. This information shall be filled in the same as Section I. Address A1-A5 in the population questionnaire (Form HAOST-1).

"Percentage eligible for enumeration" column shows the percentage of total households and population eligible for enumeration from the first day of the census on November 11, 2010, to the end of the census until November 18, 2010. For example, the following table shows that 14 percent of eligible households and non-households shall be enumerated on the first day of census on November 11, 2010.

"Census days" column shows the days on which the census will take place. For example, the following table shows that the first day of the census is November 11, 2010.

In column A of Form HAOST-4, fill in the first number of the census questionnaire of the units enumerated on that day, and in column B, fill in the last number. For example, enumerator Bat counted 9 households on the first day on November 11, 2010, and 10 households on the 12th. The number of census questionnaires shall be filled as follows.

The supervisor first checks the number of enumerated households and persons (households and non-households) and accepts them with no errors. After this, the Form HAOST-1 can be filled in.
In column 1 of the form HAOST-4, the enumerator fills in the number of households enumerated on that day. Then he calculates the coverage percentage with the following formula and fills it in column 2.

Column 2 = (Column 1: Households to be enumerated) *100

In the example above, enumerator Bat shall enumerate a total of 75 households on the census days. 9 households were enumerated on the first day and 10 households were counted on the next day. The coverage percentage will be calculated and filled as follows.

[p.67]

Coverage percentage of households enumerated on the first day:
Column 2 = (9: 75) *100=12.0

Coverage percentage of households enumerated on the second day:
Column 2 = (10: 75) *100=13.3

In column 5 of the form HAOST-4, fill in the number of persons enumerated in households. The coverage percentage of these persons is calculated by the following formula and filled in column 6.

Column 6 = (Column 5: Number of persons to be enumerated in the households) *100

For example, enumerator Bat will count 280 persons in the households. If 39 persons were enumerated on the first day and 38 persons on the next day, the coverage percentage was calculated as follows.

Coverage percentage of persons enumerated in the households on the first day:
Column 5 = (39: 280) *100=13.9

Coverage percentage of persons enumerated in the households on the second day:
Column 5 = (38: 280)*100=13.6

In column 7 of the form HAOST 4, fill in the number of non-household persons. The coverage percentage of non-household persons is calculated by the following formula and filled in column 8.
Column 8 = (Column 7: Number of non-household persons to be enumerated) *100

For example, enumerator Bat must count 20 non-household persons. If no household persons were enumerated on the first day, and 4 persons were counted on the next day. The coverage percentage is calculated and filled in as follows.

Coverage percentage of non-household persons enumerated on the second day:

Column 8 = (4: 20) *100=20.0

In column 3 of the form HAOST-4, fill in the total number of enumerated persons. From this, check the correlation between the number of household persons and number of non-household persons.
Correlation: Column 3=Column 5+Column 7

[p.68]

In column 3 of the form HAOST-4,

In column 3 of the form HAOST-4, fill in the total number of persons counted on that day. The coverage percentage is calculated by the following formula and filled in column 4.

Column 4 = (Column 3: Number of persons to be enumerated) *100

For example, enumerator Bat counts 300 persons. He counted 39 persons on the first day and 42 persons on the second day. The coverage percentage is calculated and filled in as follows.

Coverage percentage of persons enumerated on the first day:
Column 4 = (39: 300) *100=13.0

Coverage percentage of persons enumerated on the second day:
Column 4 = (42: 300) *100=14.0

According to rows 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 of the form HAOST-4, the enumerator shall fill the number of enumerated households and persons and the coverage percentage with increased amounts.

Finally, the enumerator gets the number of households and persons (the number of household and non-household persons) enumerated and reported on each day in column 9 checked together with Form HAOST-1 or census questionnaire and signed by the supervisor if there are no errors.

5.3. Census progress data to supervisors, ad-hoc baga, khoroo bureaus, census committees of soum, district, province, and capital city.
The census progress data shall be compiled by enumerators, supervisors, baga, khoroo, soum, district, capital city, district supervisors respectively. For the capital city, province's center, and soum center, the census progress report is submitted from November 11 to 18. For local bagas, it is submitted on November 14 (report from 11th to 18th) and on November 18 (report from 14th to 17th). The summary report is to be submitted on November 19 with Form HAOST-5, and is to be reported in the increased amounts.

The census progress report belongs to the category of urgent statistical data. In case of interruption or loss of the report, the responsible person will be held accountable by the provincial and district statistics departments and state inspectors of statistics per relevant laws.

[p.69]

The number of households and persons (including the number of household and non-household persons) to be enumerated in Census Progress Report-2 shall be issued using Form HAOST-3 for the pre-registration of the household population. Then, it shall be submitted from ad-hoc baga, khoroo bureaus to supervisors, and from supervisors to enumerators.

5.4. Instruction to fill in the census progress report-2 Form HAOST-5
At the top of the table, fill in the census commission number, province, capital, soum, district, baga, khoroo name, code, the enumerator name, and number respectively. This indicator depends on the stage at which the census progress report is issued. For example, if the census progress report is issued by enumerators and supervisors, it shall be the same as the header section A1-A4 of Form HAOST-4. If the census progress report-2 Form HAOST-5 is issued by bagas and khoroos, it shall be the same as the header section A1-A4 of Form HAOST-5 sent by supervisors. If it is issued by soums and districts, it shall be the same as the header section A1-A3 of Form HAOST-5 sent by bagas and districts. If it is issued by the capital city and provinces, it shall be the same as the header section A1-A2 of Form HAOST-5 sent by soums and districts.

For example, the ad hoc bureau of Gurvanbulag baga in Undurshiree soum, Khentii province is issuing the census progress report. In this case, the data is filled in as follows:

In the "Date" column, record the year, month and day for the summary of census progress. For example, if the census progress report is issued on November 12, 2010, it shall be written as follows.

In column "A", the subject reporting the census progress shall mark "[check mark]" in the cell corresponding to his level.

For example, if the supervisor reports the census progress, mark "[check mark]" in the cell behind "Supervisor". If each enumerator's name, code, baga, khoroo are provided, and if each supervisor' name, code, soum, and district are provided, and if each baga, khoroo name, code, province is provided, fill in the soum, district name and code.

For example, as of November 11, 2010, the 1st baga of the aimag's center has three supervisors, namely supervisor Bat (code 01), supervisor Davaa (code 02), and supervisor Suren (code 03). They are issuing the census progress report. It shall be filled as follows.

In the cells of "Number of households to be counted", "Number of persons to br enumerated", "Number of household persons", and "Number of non-household persons", fill in the numbers provided from ad-hoc baga, khoroo bureaus to supervisors, from ad-hoc baga, khoroo bureaus to ad-hoc soum, district bureaus, from ad-hoc soum, district bureaus to ad-hoc aimag, capital city bureaus.

When counting in the above example, if 245 households and 986 persons are counted in this baga, of which 941 persons are in households and 45 non-household persons, then it will be filled as follows.

In columns 1, 3, 5, and 7, the "Enumerated" numbers (number of enumerated households, number of persons, number of household persons and number of non-household persons) are filled per corresponding levels respectively. For example,

In columns 2, 4, 6, and 8, fill in the coverage percentage of enumerated households and persons, of which household and non-household persons enumerated. It shall be calculated and filled in the same as the census progress report-1 Form HAOST-4.
Coverage rate:

Based on the above example, let's calculate the coverage rates as follows.

Supervisor Bat has counted 30 households, 119 persons, of which 115 household persons, and 5 non-household persons.

[p.71]

Supervisor Davaa has counted 31 households, 126 persons, of which 120 household persons, and 6 non-household persons.

Supervisor Suren has counted 26 households, 98 persons, of which 90 household persons, and 8 non-household persons.

For supervisor Bat:
Column 2= (30: 245) *100=12.2
Column 4 = (119: 986) *100=12.1
Column 6 = (115: 941) *100=12.2
Column 8 = (4:45) *100 =8.9

For supervisor Davaa:
Column 2 = (31: 245) *100=12.7
Column 4 = (126: 986) *100=12.8
Column 6= (120: 941) *100=12.8
Column 8 = (6:45) *100=13.3

For supervisor Suren:
Column 2 = (26: 245) *100=10.6
Column 4 = (98: 986) *100=9.9
Column 6 = (90: 941) *100=9.6
Column 8 = (8: 45) *100=17.8

On each day of the census progress reports, the number of households and persons enumerated, and of which household and non-household persons enumerated at the relevant level shall be issued in the increased "sum", and drawn with a red line.
According to the above examples, the baga issues the second day's census progress report as of November 11, 2010 with 3 supervisors. The coverage percentage will be filled as follows.

Increased sum= First day's sum + Second day's sum

5.5. Instruction to fill in the Form HAOST-6 for the document delivery
The Form HAOST-6 will be filled ad used for delivering the completed questionnaires along with the marked maps as follows.

At the end of the census period, the enumerator fills out the Form HAOST-6 for the document delivery. He puts Form HAOST-1 questionnaire, Form HAOST-1-1 Death and maternal mortality questionnaire, together with the map in the archive folder. Then, he hands these documents over to the supervisor.

To fill out Form HAOST-6, the enumerators shall fill the relevant data individually and correctly from "Section address" A1-A6, A9, A10 of the Form HAOST-1 Census questionnaire. The enumerator shall follow the below principles to fill in the Form HAOST-6 to hand over the completed questionnaires.

Each enumerator fills in the Form HAOST-6. In the header section of each form, the following data including census commission number, aimag, capital city, soum, district, khoroo, baga name, code, enumerator's name and number are listed. These data shall be filled from A1-A5 of Section I. Address in Form HAOST-1 (Census commission number, aimag, province, capital city, soum, district, baga, khoroo name, code, enumerator's name, code).

[A table is omitted below]

[p.74]

The enumerator calculates the "a total number of households enumerated" under the table of the Form HAOST-6 by summing up the numbers circled as "Main household-1" and "Shared household-2" of Column 1. A total number of non-household persons is calculated by summing up the numbers circled "non-household-3" in Column 1. A total number of persons enumerated is calculated by summing up the numbers of persons enumerated in Column 2.

The supervisor, the head of ad-hoc baga, khoroo, soum, district, province, capital city bureau, staff of the Statistics Committee of the NSO shall receive the census questionnaire Form HAOST-1, Form HAOST-1-1, and the map by filling up Form HAOST-6 for the census questionnaire delivery. They shall sign and verify it.

5.6. Instruction to fill in the Preliminary result-1 Form HAOST 7.
In the Preliminary census results -1 Form HAOST-7, the number of the enumerated households, types of housing, residence status of enumerated populations, age groups, sex, and citizens residing abroad are issued respectively.

The Preliminary result-1 Form HAOST-7 is opened for each supervisor. The census committee number, province, capital city, soum, district, baga, khoroo name, code, enumerator name is filled from the header section A1-A5 of Section I. Address of the Form HAOST-1.
The following principles are adhered to fill in the Preliminary census results -1 Form HAOST-7.
The form shall be filled in blue ink. When calculating the sum, it is highlighted with a red line.

[A table is omitted here]

[Formulas are omitted here]

[p.77]

After filling in the indicators of the census questionnaire completed by the enumerator to Form HAOST-7, draw a red line under the last indicator, and then provide the result. To do so, the indicators from each column are added from the first query to the last one and the sum is recorded at the bottom of the red line. After issuing the summary, draw a red line below it and close it.

To calculate results of the Columns 1 and 35, count the number of times the code is circled. The result of column 1 shall be written under columns 2, 3, and 4, and the result of column 35 shall be written under columns 32, 33, and 34.

When the enumerator fills out less than 85 census questionnaires, circle "No" or code "2" for the question whether the Form HAOST-7 continues to the second page. If he fills more than 85 census questionnaires and the response is "Yes" or code "1" to this question. Fill the header section of the continuation page as same as Form HAOST-3. Record the questionnaire indicators and generate the summary. If the form is continued, the summary shall be issued only once under the Continuous form.

After summarizing the results, the compiled supervisor writes his name and date and verifies it with his signature.

5.7. Instruction to fill the Preliminary census results-2 Form HAOST-8

Chapter seven
Instructions for preparing and working on the enumerator's hand map

7.1. The purpose of using the enumerator's hand map
1. Determine the location of census units¹;
2. Fully cover households and population in the census;
3. Check and control coverage of census units;

[p.81]

7.2. Significance
1. Accurately determine the location of households and population;
2. The enumerator controls the coverage of households and population of the census territorial unit under his responsibility;
3. The enumerator plans and organizes the daily enumeration work, and sets the route from where to start in the enumeration area;

7.3. Instructions for preparing a hand drawing
1. The enumerator shall work under the guidance, instructions, and advice of ad-hoc baga, khoroo census bureaus (hereinafter ad-hoc bureau) to prepare the hand map.

2. Before the enumerator prepares the hand map, the ad-hoc bureau shall mark the number of households and population on the map, determine borders of census territorial units, and assign them by enumerators. The enumerator shall make his hand map based on the territorial map. The number of households and population allocated by the ad-hoc bureau is marked by its location.

3. The enumerator draws the picture by hand on the A3 size paper.

4. The enumerator carefully observes the map displaying the borders of the assigned territorial unit. Then, he determines whether it will fit on the A3 paper, whether to enlarge or reduce it, and whether to vertically or horizontally draw it on the A3 paper.

5. The enumerator makes the hand map on the A3 paper vertically or horizontally. It depends on the shape of the census territorial unit map assigned to the enumerator by the ad-hoc bureau. Based on this factor, there will be two types of the location for the map content3.

[Footnotes are omitted here]

[Figures are omitted here]

[p.82]

6. The enumerator draws only the assigned section from the khoroo and baga's map. He draws grids4 in the "II. Hand map section" using a pencil, and divides them into square cells5 (Figure 3). This makes elements of the map fit into small cells instead of large areas, and draw it with spatial orientation avoiding errors.

[Footnotes are omitted here]

7. After determining the grid cells on the map, the enumerator draws a grid with the same cells in the "??. Hand map section" of the A3 paper. The size of the grid cells on the hand map does not necessarily have to be the same as the ad-hoc baga, khoroo map. Because the census territorial unit on the map may not fit in the A3 paper. Therefore, if the grid of the ad-hoc bureau map does not fit into the "II. Hand map section", the enumerator may draw in a smaller size. if it is smaller, it will be enlarged. In other words, the number of the grid, rather than its size matters here.

8. When drawing the hand map, the north is at the top of the map and the south is at the bottom of the map (Figure 5).

9. Assign the same number to the corresponding cells of the ad-hoc bureau map and hand map grid. In this way, each element (its location, direction, and shape) on the ad-hoc bureau map can be fully captured in the hand map.

[p.83]

10. Draw the elements corresponding to map grids or cells as a legend in the corresponding cell of the hand map. For example, there is a lake located in Cells 3,4 vertically, and Cells 7,8 horizontally on the map. Draw this lake as the same in Cells 3,4 vertically, and Cells 7,8 on the hand map (Figure 5).

[Footnotes are omitted here]

11. Objects in nature are depicted as seen from a steep angle. The enumerator shall also draw his hand map as seen at the steep angle. It shall be similar to the ah-hoc bureau map.

12. The following items must be noted in the content of the hand map.

The title of the hand shall be written in capital letters. The title consists of the ad-hoc baga, khoroo name to which each enumerator belongs, and the enumerator number. For example, the hand map of enumerator No.1 of the ad-hoc census bureau in Bayankhairkhan baga, Yosonbulag soum, Gobi-altai province, the hand map of enumerator No.8 of the ad-hoc census bureau in Bayanzurkh district, Ulaanbaatar city, etc.

The first 8 digits of the household/unit location number (aimag, capital city, soum, district, baga, khoroo code, enumerator number);
Each enumerated household or unit has a location number, called a household/unit location number. This number consists of 11 digits.

The number structure is shown in the below example.

Write the first 8 digits of the household/unit location number in the "I. Address and verification section" of the hand map. The first 8 digits are repetitive or the same for the enumerator. Once the enumerator writes it on the hand map, it is not necessary to write it again for each household/unit. For example, enumerator Bat is No.10 of ad-hoc census bureau of Gurvanbayan baga, Umnudelger soum, Khentii province. He fills in "23" for Khentii province, "46" for Umnudelger soum, "53" for Gurvanbayan Baga, "10" for the enumerator number, the household/unit number shall be 23465310. At the time of the census, the numerator writes only the last 3 digits or the census questionnaire number, not 11 digits when he fills in the number next to the location of the household/unit.
