2001 Censuses: Enumerator Instructions
[p. 1-8 were not translated and they contain title and index pages only]
[p.9]
The word census it is used as a short form of the word Recenseamento and as such, both words have the exact same meaning.
Traditionally the censuses are the summation of a country is population to which, on a more recent time, an assessment and description of the housing universe was added.
A Census is a statistical operation designed to collect, on an exhaustive way, data on all the statistical units included in a specific universe to be studied. The statistical units are the individuals, families, dwellings and buildings, as long as they correspond to the definition that was adapted to each one of them.
It is through the Censuses Operations, and by this way only, that the country comes to the knowledge of:
2. How are we?
3. Where do we live?
4. How do we live?
The 2001 Censuses include the XIV General Population Census and the IV General Housing Census that will be held in March 2001.
Through the censuses it is possible to obtain, for each geographic level, a "picture" of every individual and their housing conditions.
The Censuses are the only renewable source that, by characterizing the population and housing universe, places itself as a valuable instrument of diagnosis, planning and intervention, on a wide range of domains:
2. Regional and local planning;
3. Market research and opinions surveys;
4. Studies in social sciences.
Therefore, the collected Censuses data, on population and housing, are fundamental to update the government and the local authorities regarding economic and social planning.
The comparison between the results of previous censuses allows the analysis of transformations on the Portuguese society in terms of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. The censuses data are, for this reason, essential for an analysis to the social and economic structure of our country, its evolution and tendencies allowing, simultaneously, the comparison with other countries.
[p. 10]
The execution of a statistical operation of the size of a Census involves many and important resources, human and material simultaneously. The success of this operation is based on an efficient planning, organization and the use of every single bit of these resources.
The National Statistical Institute (NSI) is the organization responsible for the preparation, execution and computation of the 2001 Censuses results and that is why the NSI is Regional Structures will be evolved at their highest possible capacity, together with the Regional Statistical Direction of Madeira (DREM) and the Regional Service of Statistics of Azores (SREA).
Due to the complexity of the 2001 Censuses statistical operation, the NSI must have the collaboration of the local authorities. Therefore the municipalities are responsible for the organization, coordination and control of the censuses tasks within the area of their jurisdiction, in the meanwhile the parish administrative structures assure the execution of the 2001 Censuses operations in their respective areas, under direct orientation of the mayor or by a representative designated by him.
To assure a correct work flow during the entire census operation it is necessary and indispensable to have a well designed executive structure based on a hierarchical model, together with an evolvement of all defined levels. The intervention levels (in the order of decreasing capacity) will be as follow:
NSI Regional Bureaus, SREA and DREM: Coordination, technical assistance and regional supervision
Municipalities: Municipal coordination and supervision
(Municipal Delegate; Municipal Technician)
Head of Parish: Coordination at a Parish level (Coordinator; Sub coordinator)
Enumerator: Working area (Statistical Section)
According to this, a set of attributed functions were established and assigned to all the different implicated agents:
2. Is responsible for the formation given to the regional and municipal delegates;
3. Oversees the filed work on his area of responsibility.
2. Follows the selection and formation of the enumerators that are going to work in every municipality;
3. Oversees the field work on his area of responsibility.
2. Guarantees the technical assistance to the enumerators and is responsible for the quality control of the field work;
3. Evaluates and promotes the resolution of difficult situations that may appear on the organization of the field work;
4. Does, every week, a status report of the works in the municipality.
2. Receives in the Municipal Headquarters, the 2001 census questionnaires and all other material and distributes it all again to the correspondent parishes;
3. Organizes and assures the payment to every intervenient on the census operation on a municipal level.
2. Verifies and confirms the arrival to the Parishes of all material to be used on the census.
3. Plans, organizes and coordinates the field work on the parish;
4. Gathers all enumerators to clarify problems that may arise and to make status reposts of the work;
5. Proceeds to the resolution of difficult cases that the enumerators can not solve;
6. Verifies the quality of the filling-in of the questionnaires;
7. Controls the quality of the field work.
Note: The Coordinator functions may have some differences, depending on the existence or not of a sub-coordinator.
2. Stays with the enumerators to make sure they are well instructed and also to evaluate the way the work is flowing;
3. Verifies the quality of the filling-in of the questionnaires;
4. Controls the field work quality.
2. Does the reconnaissance of his working area regarding its geographic limits;
3. Delivers and collects the questionnaires;
4. Fills-in the questionnaires that are of his responsibility;
5. Verifies if the filling-in of the questionnaires done by the population is totally complete and correct;
6. Supports, when needed, the fill-in process of the questionnaires.
[p. 12]
1.4 Where are the censuses done?
The census is an exhaustive statistical operation that will cover the entire national territory. For statistical purposes, this territory is divided into small areas (statistical sections and subsections).
To each census enumerator one determined working area is endorsed (i.e. and will correspond to a statistical section) in which no person or house must be left without enumerating.
1.5 How are the census done?
On the 2001 Censuses the collection of data will be done using the traditional method of delivering a collecting the questionnaires to and from the population. Therefore a group of individuals is drafted (i.e. Enumerators) and they will go from door to door delivering the questionnaires and the respective filling-in instructions, and later they will pass by the houses to collect the questionnaires after they are filled-in by the population.
On the 2001 Census various types of questionnaires will be used, according to the nature of the statistical unit we want to identify:
Building - This questionnaire model will be used for all buildings, of a permanent nature or not, that contain at least one dwelling (occupied or not).
Dwelling (living quarter) - This questionnaire will be used for all kinds of dwellings, located in classical (conventional) type buildings or not.
Classical family (private household) - This questionnaire model is built in a way that will allow us to list all persons in the family or that are living together with the family, and it also allows us to describe all the family relationships in between the listed individuals.
Institutional family - This questionnaire model is designed to allow the listing of all persons in an institutional family.
Individual - This questionnaire must be filled-in by each person that composes the classical and/or the institutional family and also the persons that are temporarily present in the family dwellings on the census moment.
Collective questionnaire - This questionnaire will be used to list all individuals present but not residents on the collective dwellings.
[p. 13]
1.5.1 Methodology
As we have seen the procedure used for the making of the 2001 Censuses is built upon the data gathering through the classical method of delivering and collecting the questionnaires from the population.
The ideal system for this action is supported on two phases:
2. Questionnaire collection from March 12th to mid April.
Some adjustments will be implemented in the field, according to the situations and difficulties encountered, using sensitivity and the necessary balance in a way to avoid too many exceptions to the established rules.
The "Census moment", or data reference date, corresponds to the day and hour in relation to what the data is collected. The reference to this moment it is absolutely fundamental to avoid duplications and omissions on the counting due to the normal displacement of people.
Therefore, the residence and the presence, as well as the larger part of the intended data are referencing to the day March 12th, 2001 at 0:00 hours.
The economical characteristics, on the individual questionnaire, are referring to the last complete week preceding that moment, meaning the week from 5 to 11 of March, 2001.
[p. 14 is blank.]
[p. 15]
At the beginning of the census operation will be distributed to each enumerator a set of cartographical supports derived from the Geographic Base of Information Reference (BGRI), with a rigorous delimitation of their working area.
In brief, we intend with this initiative that the enumerator:
2. Will have all the administrative and statistical codes that he must use on the filling-in of the questionnaires;
3. Observe all statistical units (buildings, dwellings, families and individuals) that must in fact be observed.
2.1.1. B.G.R.I. What it is?
It is a support instrument to the statistical work. The B.G.R.I. is a geographic referencing system supported in topographic cartography or ortophotocartography under a digital format, and it is the result of the division of all Parishes into small territorial units, denominated statistical Sections, statistical Subsections and Places.
2.1.2 B.G.R.I. Geo-referencing units
It is a territorial unit that corresponds to a continuous area within one Parish only, including around 300 housing dwellings. It constitutes a working area of an enumerator.
[p.16.]
2.1.2.2. Statistical subsection
It is a territorial unit that identifies within a statistical section the smallest homogenous area of construction or not. It corresponds to the block on the urban areas and to the place or parts of the place on the rural areas, or to the residual areas that may contain dwellings (isolated) or not.
2.1.2.3. Place
It is the designation for a population agglomeration with ten or more people housing dwellings and having an own name, independently of belonging to one or more parishes.
The employment of this concept is not always easy mainly due to two reasons:
2 - On the other side there are situations in which there are the tendency to consider as places, areas that are known by a specific name, where, in reality they are simply parts (neighborhoods or only streets) of a larger and more uniform agglomerate that it is in fact a place.
A specific working area is assigned to each enumerator (statistical section) in which no building with habitation, dwelling or person should be left without inquiring, neither the correspondent questionnaires should be left without filling-in.
To allow the realization of this work, without coverage duplications, the enumerator will have cartography with the precise delimitation of the statistical section where he is working on, together with the respective subsections, as well as all the correspondent statistical codes that will be printed by the enumerator on the questionnaires.
Regarding the geographic level shown and the scale of representation, the BGRI 2001 cartographic supports are classified in:
2. Section Panoramic Map
[Contains map]
[p.18]
2.3.1. Parish panoramic map
These cartographic supports will be available at 1/10000 and 1/25000 scales, in some specific cases of parishes with a large surface a scale of 1/50000 will also be available. This will represent the area of the Parish, which will correspond to the working area of one or more enumerators, and must include:
2. Delimitation and identification of the statistical sections;
3. A representation of the territory having as source for this the ortophotocartography or the Portuguese Military Cartography, from which the following elements must be outlined:
b. Hydrography;
c. High power lines;
d. Construction;
e. Topology
2.3.2. Statistical section panoramic map
[Contains map.]
[p.20]
These cartographic supports will be available at 1/2000, 1/5000 or at 1/10000 scales and allows a most detailed observation of the area.
Each statistical section Panoramic Map must include:
2. Delimitation and identification of the residual subsections;
3. A representation of the territory having as source for this the ortophotocartography or the Portuguese Military Cartography, from which the following elements must be outlined:
b. Hydrography;
c. High power lines;
d. Construction;
e. Topology
In the cases in which the statistical section has an area of great dimension and/or disperse places, and the scale of representation does not allows for a detailed reading of the subsection limits, maps of the Places in detail will also be handed.
2.3.3 Used symbols in the 2001 censuses cartography
It represents the correspondence for the symbols used in this specific cartography.
2.3.4 Notions of Scale
In this sub-chapter, a definition of scale together with some exercises, are presented to help understanding the concept.
[p. 21
2.3.5 Coding principles
The numbering of the subsections it is given on through the BGRI work previously done. This way the subsections are identified on the panoramic section or place map that is handed to the enumerator.
The codification number for a subsection is a composite number of 5 digits (3 from the section code plus 2 from the subsection itself).
The subsection numbering sequence inside a section may be interrupted, meaning that on a sequence a number may be missing.
2.3.5.2 Residual subsections
The residual subsections correspond to the part of the section area that does not belong to a determined place. When a residual area of a section is very extensive and/or not continuous several residual subsections may exist. The coding of the residual subsections always corresponds to the last codes in the section.
The update level of the BGRI cartography is highly dependent of the housing construction pressure in the area.
That is why some of the areas may present a consolidated structure while others may still be evolving.
During the census work the codification and the limits that exist in the cartography must be respected at all times, especially during the filling-in of the questionnaires.
[p. 22]
2.4.1 Definition of new statistical subsections that correspond to new blocks, geographic expansion of existing places or new places
When on the cartography it is verified the existence of new street/roads that imply the creation of new subsections/blocks, these must be drawn on the maps together with the indication of being new subsections. These subsections must be numbered with the subsection code immediately after the last one that existed, being as well given a new code to the subsection from which this new one came from.
2.4.1.2 Geographic expansion of existent places
When one verifies that the perimeter of the place established by the BGRI 2001 it is no longer valid, we must draw a new boundary after consulting the right entity. This procedure of updating the limit of a place will also produce new boundaries to the new statistical subsections created in the process. Their codification will be done on the same way as it was previously explained.
When we spot the existence of a new place, not delimited by the BGRI 2001 panoramic cartography, we must proceed to its identification and location: attribute a name followed by a delimitation and codification, keeping in mind the principles already explained.
All new delimitations, codes and explanations regarding a change in the boundaries or in an existing classification, must be written in the Panoramic Maps handed, so all the changes can be well understood.
The new places must be identified with the name by which they are known by the inhabitants of such place, and that should be at the same time the name by which the local authorities recognize it as well. If the place has more than one known name, please use the one that the local authority attributes to it.
[p. 24, description of a map showing how to identify places is not given]
2.4.2.2 Location and definition of the place is limits
Concerning the need for an exact delimitation of a place, the competent local authorities, must always be consulted, in order to get an understanding that can work for all the involved parts on the process.
However, during these contacts with the local administrative authorities the Enumerator must always keep in mind the following rules:
2. The place should preferentially have the limits well supported on the terrain;
3. When needed the imaginary lines must always be used with well defined start and end points located in the terrain;
4. When the places are along the road please define limits using reference points for the beginning and the end of it, making sure that it is easy to identify where it stars and where it ends.
The 2001 BGRI cartography must be updated and completed with all the topology information we can find useful.
2.5. Returning the cartography
After finishing the field work of the census operation, you must return all cartography used. All the information gathered in those maps by the enumerators will be used to update the 2001 BGRI.
[p. 25]
3. Questionnaires and auxiliary tools
On the 2001 Censuses, regarding the different nature of the statistical units to be observed, several types of questionnaires will used, and that is why the filling-in and storage process must be very carefully executed.
Note: It is completely forbidden to fold questionnaires, to use photocopies of the questionnaires, the use of staples, "clips" or rubber bands it also forbidden as well as the use of corrective paint or any other type of material that may damage the questionnaires.
The questionnaire models to be used are:
Building - This questionnaire model will be used for all the buildings, of a permanent nature or not, that contain at least one dwelling (occupied or not). As buildings are also considered the non-classical (non-conventional) familiar dwellings, classifying those as other places inhabited. In those cases the dwellings must be occupied on the census moment.
Dwelling (living quarter) - This questionnaire will be used for all dwellings, situated or not in buildings of a classical type. In the case of being in a classical type building they can or not be occupied on the census moment. In the case of dwellings designated as not classical, to enumerated them they must be occupied on the census moment.
Classical family (conventional household) - This questionnaire model it is conceived to list all the persons in the family or that are living with a family, as well as the familiar relations existing between them. The persons present (resident or not) on the census moment must be registered, and we must also register the individuals that reside with the family but are not present in the census moment (they are temporarily absent).
Institutional family - This questionnaire model it is designed to list all persons in an institutional family, meaning all individuals that reside on a collective dwelling.
Individual - This questionnaire will be filled-in by every person in the conventional or institutional family and will also be filled-in in relation to those persons that are temporarily absent of a familiar dwelling at 0:00 o'clock of March 12th.
Collective questionnaire - this questionnaire will used to list all individuals present but not resident on the collective dwellings.
All subsection covers of a determined section will be kept in a card box that will work as a Section cover.
3.2 Coding/identification system
One of the principal goals of the census operation is to count the number of buildings, dwellings, families and individuals that exist in the entire country, but also in every place, no matter how small and how far it is. We intend to know not only how many but also where is every statistical unit.
To accomplish that objective it is necessary to identify each questionnaire; being this a task for the enumerator, with the help of the cartography assigned to him.
3.2.1 Section and subsection codes to be used on the questionnaires and on the auxiliary tools
During all the distribution and collection work, the questionnaires must be identified following the coding indicated on the section and subsection identifying maps.
The coding of the sections/subsections it is previously given on the BGRI cartographic supports (Point 2.3.5).
The subsection numbering is previously done by the cartography service (the codes and numbering are already placed inside the statistical sections on the maps, from 1 to 99), the statistical sections are also numbered from 1 to 999 within the parishes.
So the codification number of a subsection is a composite number of 5 digits (3 from the section code plus 2 from the subsection itself).
The five reserved spaces on the questionnaires and auxiliary tools for annotation of the Section/subsection number must be filled-in in a way that the subsection will be perfectly coded.
This work is mainly to copy the section and subsection codes from the maps handed, to the correspondent section/subsection fields on the questionnaires.
Note: All questionnaires of the same Subsection will have the exact same codification: The same municipality, parish, place, section and subsection number.
[p. 27]
3.2.2 Hierarchical and sequential numbering
At this point will be treated aspects related with the sequential and integrated numbering of the various questionnaires (Building, Dwelling, Classical Family, Institutional Family, Individual and Collective Questionnaire).
If on one hand the geographic referencing codes are already in place and described on the cartographic supports, on the other hand it is necessary to ensure a numbering that will allow us to have a hierarchical identification of the questionnaires that will allow an easy integration and control of them, being the entire responsibility of this coding from the enumerator.
2. On the second case it is necessary to guarantee that the sequence is not interrupted when numbering the questionnaires.
The buildings must be coded sequentially, from 1 to 999 inside the statistical subsection. This sequential code must never be interrupted.
The building number will be the same in every dwelling of the building.
To complete the location and the identification of the building it is equally fundamental to collect the address of this same building, on the most complete format possible, including the 7 digit postal code.
The enumerator must also respect some address normalization rules that are being implemented for all family surveys in the NSI.
Every time that a building cannot be referenced through an address the name of the reference person from the first contacted family must be used as the identification for the building. Using this name to fill-in the field destined to have the information regarding the address.
In the case of buildings with more than one entrance, the main entrance must be considered as the building address.
The identification of the place must be the one that is in the cartography handed for that statistical section.
[p. 30]
You must fill-in the geographic identification of the dwelling, meaning, the name of the parish, that must be the same as the building in which it is integrated. You must also collect the door number, the floor number and side of the dwelling, for those cases where there is more than one dwelling in the building. The avenue, street and postal code must only be filled-in if they are different from the information collected on the building questionnaire.
The municipality, the parish, the place, the subsection code and the building code must be exactly the same that are in the correspondent building questionnaire. The dwellings must be coded sequentially, from 1 to 99 inside the correspondent building questionnaires. This sequential code must never be interrupted.
The dwelling code will always be the same in every family questionnaire for everyone that inhabits this dwelling.
If there is only one dwelling in the building its number will always be 001.
You cannot forget to fill-in the geographic identification of the Family questionnaire, regarding its location, meaning the parish name, which will be the same as the one in the building and in the dwelling where the family lives.
The municipality, the parish, the place, the section/subsection code, the building code and the dwelling code must be exactly the same that are in the correspondent dwelling questionnaire.
p.30
[Graphics omitted]
The families must be coded sequentially, from 1 to 99 inside the dwelling. This sequential code must never be interrupted
Note: When registering the various persons on the family questionnaire they will be automatically referenced with a sequential order number. This number must be transcribed to the individual questionnaires.
[p. 31]
The person designated as the reference person will be registered with the number one code and must always be a resident in the dwelling when there is at least one resident person in the correspondent family (that can be present or not).
With the number two position must be registered the spouse of the reference person if there is one, followed by the single children, (youngest to oldest), the married sons and sons-in-law, followed by the sons of these last ones (grandsons of the reference person), and than all the other persons that are also part of the familiar relationships and the others that living with the family don't have any familiar relationship with it. Finally register the individuals that are not residents at the dwelling but that for any reason are present there at the census moment.
3.2.2.4 Individual questionnaire
The fields for geographic identification must be filled-in, meaning, the name of the parish, that must be the same as in the dwelling and family questionnaire to which the individual belongs to.
[Graphic omitted]
The section/subsection code, the building code, the dwelling code and the family code must be exactly the same that are in the correspondent family questionnaire.
The individuals must be coded sequentially, from 1 to 99 inside the family, and must correspond to the exact code they have in the family questionnaire. This sequential code must never be interrupted.
[p.32]
We must write in the individual questionnaire the exact same code (number from the column 1 of the family questionnaire) that corresponds to that individual in the family questionnaire.
3.2.2.5 Collective and institutional family questionnaire
The municipality, the parish, the place, the section/subsection, the building number and the dwelling number are exactly the same that are in the correspondent dwelling questionnaire.
In the particular cases of collective dwellings, where there may exist two kinds of families simultaneously (institutional and conventional), there can only exist one numerical sequence (from 01 to 99) for all existing families, independently of the family type.
[pp. 33-35 omitted]
[p. 36]
3.3 Filling-in the questionnaires
3.3.1 Building cover
Every Building questionnaire(s) and correspondent dwelling, household and individual questionnaires shall be organized on a hierarchical order inside a building cover, meaning, the building questionnaire with the number one dwelling questionnaire with the families and individuals that live within, followed by the dwelling number two with it is family and individual questionnaires and thereon.
On the building cover we must inscribe:
The geographic identification (Municipality, Parish, Place, Census block number -section/subsection), building number and correspondent address.
We must also fill-in the District, Municipality, Parish code (dist.conc.freg.) that is shown on the handed support cartography.
In the table referring to the synthesis of the work done on the building, we must write the sum for the following elements regarding the building:
b. Number of questionnaires from collective dwellings
b. Number of questionnaires from institutional families
4. Number of individuals counted in the collective questionnaires
5. Number of individual questionnaires
6. Number of individuals present and residents, separating the totals for men and women.
7. Number of individuals absent but residents, separating the totals for men and women.
8. Number of individuals present and not residents, separating the totals for men and women.
[p.37]
The sum of the individuals present and resident, resident but absent and present but not resident, men and women, must be equal to the total number of individual questionnaires.
After organizing all questionnaires and after all the adding up is finished you must place the date and name on the space available for that information.
[p. 38]
[Graphic omitted]
What is a "Building"?
As for Building we understand all independent construction, including one or more dwellings, rooms or other spaces destined to the inhabitation of persons, covered and included within external walls or division walls, that must go from the foundations to the coverage, independently of its principal purpose being residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, cultural or as for other services.
Therefore, a building is, as a principle, a distinct construction:
2. Usually does not have a communication with other buildings;
3. Has independent circuits of water, electricity, gas and even some specific types of services, as for example a garbage collection system;
4. Has usually an independent door number.
[p. 39]
The building questionnaire must always and exclusively be filled-in by the Enumerator. Do never give this questionnaire to the population.
To accomplish the correct filling-in of this questionnaire you must ask the building proprietary all the questions you may think necessary, or in substitution, ask the doorman, tenants, etc.
3.3.2.2 Which buildings should be enumerated?
All buildings that have one or more dwellings (you must fill-in as many dwelling questionnaires as the number of dwellings that are present in the building).
All constructions destined to the inhabited (houses, apartment buildings, etc.), even if they are vacant or if they are secondary residences;
All constructions, even if they are mainly destined to economic activities, as long as they have at least one dwelling. This is the case of a factory that has in its interior a dwelling for the keeper or a building mainly occupied with offices but where a dwelling is occupied by a doorman;
All the buildings that constitute collective dwellings (hotels, pensions, hospitals, colleges, elderly homes, prisons, etc.).
All shacks, mobile dwellings (tents, boats, caravans, etc.) or other dwellings in places not destined to be inhabited (cases where you are not in presence of a building as earlier described in its definition) as long as in the moment of enumeration its occupied by persons.
As for "places not destined to be inhabited" we understand any construction that as been conceived from scratch for an economical activity (factories, warehouse, offices, windmills, barns, etc.) or any other place that is inhabited at the census moment (garage, cave, stairways, building entrances, or an area under a bridge, where an homeless might be found, etc.) as long as these places have not received any transformation for inhabitation purposes.
[p. 40]
3.3.2.3 What are the buildings that shall not be enumerated?
All those being exclusively destined to economic activities. But you will only be sure of that after if you check it. Keeping that in mind you must contact all buildings, even in those cases where you "are sure" (sometimes a guard, an employee or even the manager himself might live there).
b. All those being in ruins and not occupied;
c. Buildings totally occupied with embassies.
In the case of constructions in a block fashion, a building is assigned to each independent entrance.
In the case of constructions in "circles" or in "rectangle" we should consider one or more buildings according to what its structure indicates and taking into account the independent entrances.
In the case of "private condominiums" the above defined criteria also applies.
In the case of certain "rural houses", where doubts may arise concerning that the "house and its annexes" might be considered as just one building, or in the other hand filling in one questionnaire for the main house and another questionnaire for each one of the annexes, we should consider the first option. When there are annexes inhabited by families, we should consider those annexes as independent buildings.
[p. 41]
3.3.2.5. Filling-in instructions
Other type of inhabited construction should be chosen when in the presence of a shack or other improvised construction, tent, caravan, boat, natural shelter, etc.
Note: If the later building type is chosen the filling-in of this questionnaire is over.
[p. 42]
This category also comprises buildings that are totally occupied with collective dwellings designed as hotels, elderly homes, asylums, religious housing or student dormitory, etc.
Mostly residential building, this category comprises buildings in which more than half of its usable area (50% to 90%) is used for human habitation, and commercial activities or services exist in the ground or other floor.
Mostly non residential building, this category comprises buildings in which the part for human habitation corresponds to less than half (up to 49%) of the usable area, and the majority of the area is occupied with offices, commerce or other economic activities. Buildings which have just one dwelling occupied by a night-guard, an employee or the manager himself are considered in this category.
[p. 43-44] [Picture description of residential houses omitted]
Without access ramps but accessible - fill-in this category if the building is accessible without access ramps given the fact that are no steps or there is just one easily over come; this category also comprises building with steps in the access to other floors but in which there is an elevator capable of carrying a wheelchair (1,10m. x 1,40m. or above).
Without access ramps and not accessible - this category applies to buildings which have ramps with an inclination above six degrees and less than 150cm. of width, or the building is inaccessible to people with limited mobility due to the existence of steps or other obstacles or when there is no elevator capable of carrying a wheelchair (less than 1,10m. x 1,40m.).
There should be considered as floors the ground floor, the habitable basements and attics which are used as complements to the living quarter. This applies to garages, storage rooms, etc.
Note: If you filled-in the "1 Floor" options go to question 9.
[p. 45]
With open space in most of the area (for instance those used for big stores or parking space, different from the upper floors)
With isolated columns in most of the area (the building is supported by isolated columns with walls existing only in limited areas, for instance the building entrance)
In the cases where the surrounding terrain is not at the same level in the entire building perimeter we should consider as ground floor the one at the highest level of the terrain.
[p. 46]
Note: If you filled-in the option "Yes" go to question 12.
This variable has the objective to distinguish the isolated buildings from those that are next to others. The most common isolated buildings are the "house" type or the "tower" constructions, meaning that they don't have any other building next by.
We must also consider as isolated the buildings that clearly outstand in height from the neighbor buildings. In these cases the rule applied is to consider as isolated buildings the ones in which the number of floors not connected to other buildings is five times superior to the number of floors that are next to the neighbor buildings.
Likewise we must consider as isolated buildings the ones that having the same height of the buildings next to them, have a contact area that does not exceed ¼ of its own dimension in blueprint in that correspondent direction.
[p. 47]
With this variable we intend to identify, for the not isolated buildings, each ones are in a corner or in the building edge, making a distinction of those from the ones in between buildings.
[p. 48]
With this variable we will try to understand if the building, that wasn't considered as an isolated, is or not clearly higher than any other that is attached to it.
Note: Do not count as a dwelling a place built for habitation that on the census moment is being totally used for other purposes different from residential.
[p. 49]
The period of construction of the building as said, or the period of construction of the main part of the building, meaning the support structure, when different parts of a building correspond to different periods of construction.
The period of reconstruction, for buildings that have undertaken complete transformation.
To collect the correct information you must enlighten yourself about the year or period of construction you must ask the proprietary, the doorman or any of the older residents.
In cases where persons (due to old age) might have some difficulties remembering the exact period of construction ask for comparisons with some milestones (i.e. before or after the 1st world war, etc.)
In cases of persisting doubt decide by using information of similar and next by buildings.
Note: If a reconstruction was undertaken please use that works period as the information and not the original construction period.
[p. 50]
The usage of Structural concrete on the construction of buildings starts from 1935/40, being in 1955 the mains solution, especially in the main urban centers. So, from this date on the buildings legally constructed in the urban areas have structural concrete as their main structural material.
In buildings with mortared masonry walls you must consider those in which the walls support vertical loads and are constructed with stone, bricks or concrete blocks united with cement. These are typically anterior to 1950/55. On general terms these buildings do not go over 5 or 6 floors above ground.
The buildings with mortared masonry walls are subdivided in buildings with walls with concrete slabs and without concrete slabs.
The buildings with walls with concrete slabs are those in which the pavements are made with structural concrete. Typically built between 1935 and 1955.
The buildings with walls without concrete slabs are those where the floors pavement are done with structural concrete, normally they use wood floors. Typically built between 1930/1935.
The buildings with adobe, earth or rubble walls are those with walls of very weak quality. Mainly this classification will only apply to very small buildings and of a very old construction period mostly in the rural areas.
In the case old a building that used different types of structure, please consider the mainly used, giving that as an answer, and always giving just one answer.
[p. 51-52]
By selecting Concrete (with or without painting) we must understand the situations in which the largest part of the exterior façade is made with concrete, where paint can or not be applied.
The Ceramic tiles or mosaic are pre-made materials, such as tiles or any other type of identical ceramics, normally with inferior dimensions to those of tiles, and are used on walls as a finishing touch.
The coverage with Stone refers to situations blocks of any type of stone that are applied over the walls. You also classify here the walls made of stone that have the stone uncover by any other material.
Traditional rendering or terrazzo refers to the situations in which the coverage is made of cement applied to the walls and can or not be painted.
On the "Others coverings" (timber, slate boards, glass, etc.), there will be classified all situations not included on the above options.
[p. 53]
First identify if the coverage is flat, inclined or mixed. If the cover is inclined identify if it is covered with tiles or covered with other materials
The type of repairs observed are in the following building components: Structure, roof and external walls, grading those repair needs by none, small, medium, large and very large.
[p. 54]
[Graphic omitted]
We will give a yes answer to this question when the building is served by a collection of solid waste, when the production the building is covered by a public system of waste collection even if the trash bins are not near the building.
[p. 56]
3.3.3 Dwelling (living quarter) questionnaire
What is a "Dwelling"?
As for dwelling we understand every distinct and independent inhabited place, that by the way that it was constructed, reconstructed, enlarged or transformed is destined to be inhabited by persons and on the census moment it was not being used entirely for other purposes.
By distinct and independent we understand:
Distinct means that it is surrounded by walls of a conventional type or of some other type, it is covered and allows that an individual or group of individuals may sleep, prepare meals and to take cover from bad weather, separated from other members of the population.
Independent means that their occupants do not have to cross other dwellings to get in their own.
The dwelling questionnaire it is filled-in by the enumerator down to question 3 (inclusively), from that question on the questionnaire must be filled-in by an individual resident in the dwelling.
3.3.3.2 It will be counted as dwellings:
The mobile installations, shacks, and the ones improvised in places not destined to be inhabited, but that on the census moment were occupied as habitation places;
All installations that at the beginning were not built, reconstructed or transformed for habitation and that on the census moment were occupied as habitation places;
The collective installations (hotels, pensions and similar, elderly homes, prisons, etc.) as long as they are functioning on the census moment, even if they are empty.
3.3.3.3 Will not be counted as dwellings:
All places constructed for habitation that on the census moment are being totally used for other purposes different from residential.
[p. 57]
3.3.3.4 Special situations of observation
The dwelling will be composed by the following spaces:
The contiguous compartments of an habitation being used for inhabitation purposes by a family that uses them;
The isolated compartments, but closes, that were constructed to be part of the dwelling and are destined to the habitation of the family (bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, etc.).
3.3.3.5 Filling-in instructions
As Familiar dwelling we understand all dwellings that by the way they were constructed, or by the way it is being used, it is destined to shelter, usually, only one family, even knowing that several may leave in that space.
The familiar dwellings can be of the following two types:
Conventional familiar dwelling
Division or set of divisions and their annexes that by making part of a classical building, meaning on a permanent structure, or being structurally separated of that, and by the way that it was constructed, reconstructed, enlarged or transformed is destined to be inhabited and on the census moment it was not being used entirely for other purposes.
The conventional familiar dwelling must also have an independent entrance give access to the street or to a common area in the building.
Non-Conventional dwelling
Place that on the census moment it is inhabited by individuals and that by the precarious construction type does not entirely satisfies the requirements to be a conventional familiar dwelling.
We include in this type:
Shacks, rudimentary wooden houses, mobile housing units, dwellings in a permanent building not designed for habitation and other inhabited places.
As collective living quarters we understand every place that by the way it was constructed or transformed it is destined to shelter more than one family and on the census moment it is occupied by one or more individuals being residents or just presents and not residents.
In the collective dwellings we can include two types of Dwelling: Hotel or similar and Institutions.
In this last type we can identify the following sub-types of dwellings according to their purposes: Social support, Education, Health, Religious, Military, Prison, Work or other types.
Note: If you are in presence of a collective living quarter, identify its type and the filling-in of the questionnaire is over.
[p. 58-61]
If it is occupied we will need to identify if it is used as usual place of residence or if it is used as seasonal or for secondary use.
If the dwelling is vacant we will need to identify if the dwelling is for sell, for rent, for demolition or if it is some other case.
Note: If you have identified a situation different from an usual place of residence, you finished the filling-in of the questionnaire.
From this point the dwelling questionnaire must be filled-in by one of individuals present in the dwelling.
[p. 62-63]
We intend to know if the dwelling has any electricity power supplied by a private or public network (include private generator).
The possible modalities for this question are:
Piped water available in the housing unit
From a private source
Public drinking fountain
Well, private hole
Other
When a dwelling has an annex with piped water we must consider as having this situation as having piped water available within the building but outside the housing unit.
When a dwelling has piped water in the yard but not in room of the house we must considered it as having piped water available within the building but outside the housing unit.
When a dwelling does not have any kind of piped water in its interior, or even inside the building, and for that reason it is used another source of water supply, and it is possible to have various sources of water supply. In those cases you must consider the one that is used the most for cooking and for hygiene purposes.
[p. 64]
[p. 65]
The following modalities were considered:
Housing unit with sewage disposal system
Connected to a private sewage disposal plant (septic tank, etc.)
Other arrangements
[p. 66]
Note: the following questions of this questionnaire should only be answered on conventional familiar dwellings occupied as an usual residence. If not the filling-in of this questionnaire is over.
[p. 67]
Even knowing that they can correspond to the definition the following are not counted as rooms:
Corridors, balconies;
Bathrooms, dispensary, halls;
Spaces exclusively destined to economical activities.
[p. 68]
We understand that one of the occupants is proprietary of the dwelling and has financial obligations with the mortgage or loan of this dwelling when the financial obligations are in respect to the acquisition of the dwelling only and not related to works of any kind done within.
The modality "No" is used only when the dwelling, no matter the way of acquisition, is completely paid for.
[p. 69]
The monthly mortgage charge includes the amortization of capital and interests in debt.
The classes presented refer to an average monthly charge, so if the periodicity of the supported charge is not monthly we will have to do the math and calculate the average amount for every month.
We must distinguish the form of contract:
Rented dwelling with a:
Contract without term
Social rent contract
Sub-rented dwelling
Other situation (granted, etc)
If the dwelling is under any other situation the questions 16 and 17 can not be answered, you shall continue to answer in the question 18.
[p. 70]
[p. 71]
The options presented in the questionnaire as answer options for this question refer to a monthly amount paid by the tenant. The classes presented refer to an average monthly charge, so if the periodicity of the supported charge is not monthly we will have to do the math and calculate the average amount for every month.
The monthly charges due to loans for acquisition of dwellings are not considered here (they should be considered only in questions 13 and 14).
[p. 72]
[p. 73]
3.3.4. Classical (conventional) family questionnaire
What is a "Classical family" (private household)?
As for classical family we understand the group of persons that reside in a same dwelling and have family relationships in between them, "de jure" or "de facto", and they may occupy the totality or part of the living quarter; or an independent person that occupies part or the totality of a dwelling.
The classical family questionnaire it is filled-in by the enumerator on the collection moment.
3.3.4.2. To who is intended the classical family questionnaire?
This questionnaire is destined to all persons that are considered as integrant part of a classical family.

They will not be integrated in a classical family the guests without meals if they don't have any relationship with the members of the family (these should constitute independent classical families).
When a dwelling is occupied by resident persons without any family relationship in between them, and not having any kind of meal arrangements, each person will constitute a family.
Individuals present but not residents:
They must be included in the family questionnaire, with the correspondent code in relationship with the family reference person, existing or not.
In the case of existing more than one family in the dwelling, they will be integrated with family they relate the most;
When the dwelling is occupied only by nonresident families a classical family questionnaire must be fill-in identically to the others;

As well as the correspondent geographic codes that will identify the statistical subsection.
When a subsection is concluded the enumerator together with the coordinator and sub-coordinator must fill-in the correspondent subsection cover.
Note: the statistical subsection cover must be filled-in for every subsection, either containing buildings or not. When they don't have buildings the fields for values must be filled-in with zeros.

3.4.3 Statistical section cover
For each statistical section there is a box, inside which the correspondent subsection covers must be placed. The subsection covers must be placed on a sequential order, from 01 to 99 inside the box.
For identification there are pre-printed forms on the sides of the boxes.
We have to fill-in those forms with the identification codes for the statistical section and some summarized values that are achieved by adding up subsection values (for example: total number of buildings, total number of individuals by sex, etc.).
