[p. 5]

Chapter 1

General Information

1.1 Meaning of Population and Housing Census
The Population and Housing Census is the collection and record of statistical data related to every person living in the same living unit called household. In addition, it includes data of the dwelling of that particular household obtained by the enumeration of every household within each area of the census boundary. Such census recorded data is obtained on the given date of the census. For this particular census the date was April 1, 2000.

1.2 Background
The collection and recording of population in Thailand was first conducted in 1909. Subsequent censuses were conducted in 1919, 1929, 1937, and 1947. During these five census years, the Ministry of Interior was solely responsible for registration of population in each of the administrative zones for the benefit of planning and executing the election. This process of the census is now called "Registration with Individuals' Details"

The National Statistical Office has been responsible for conducting the Population and Housing Census since 1960 according to Statistical Act of 1952. The census is conducted every 10 years as stated by the Statistical Act of 1965. The authority and right as stated in that particular act is in line with the recommendation of the United Nation, which suggested that all countries should collect and record information on demographic characteristics and their residential data in every 10 Christian years ending in 0, starting from 1970. This recommendation was put forth to enable the comparison of data from different countries accordingly. The National Statistical Office had conducted household enumeration at the same time as the census of the population in order to obtain the base information of the structural characteristics of the population and household. The 2000 Population and Housing census is the tenth population and the fourth household census enumeration in Thailand. At present, although the Registration with Individuals' Details is available, some individuals within the population have not resided as stated in the Registration. This presents difficulties with determining the exact population distribution in various areas of the country.

[p. 6]

Since most of the social and economic policy planning needs to consider several population characteristics and accurate residency information, the Population and Housing Census is required.

1.3 Objective of the 2000 Population and Housing Census
The Population and Housing Census is conducted in order to collect data on the number and characteristics of all individuals living in the country at the time of the census. The collection includes number and characteristics of individual households.

1.4 Benefits of the 2000 Population and Housing Census

1.4.1 Direct benefit

General concept in field operation

[Sections 2.1-2.2 in the original document are not presented here]

2.3 The method of operation and general principle during the interview
The data collection of the 2000 Population and Housing Census has been done by using the enumerator to interview the head or the member of a household. Therefore, the success of data collection depends upon the effectiveness of the interview conducted by the enumerator. The enumerators must understand clearly the type of work that they are doing and also understand the principle concept of the interview in order to be able to persuade and convince the interviewee to have trust and faith in the interviewer. Trust is important because it results in cooperation and obtaining complete information.

[p. 19]

The general principles of the interview which are stated below are regarded as suggestions. They can be further improved to suit the personality of each interviewer in different conditions and environments.

2.3.1 Words of introduction and statement of objectives
The enumerators must introduce themselves to the interviewee who is the head of the household or member of the household. The introduction statement includes the name of the enumerator, the office where he/she represented, and the purpose of visit. Furthermore, the enumerator must show his/her identification card and explain the objective of the 2000 Population and Housing Census. In addition, the enumerator should mention that the information obtained from the census will be used to benefit the general public. An introductory statement and the explanation of objectives must be done with simple wordings that can be easily understood.

Example of words of Introduction and Statement of Objectives:

"I am an officer from the National Statistical Office. I would like to ask you some information of people living in your house such as age, sex, educational level, occupation, and the type and characteristics of the housing. That information will be used by the government for planning purposes, improving the living condition of the population, and will be included into the National Development Plan. All information asked and obtained will be treated as confidential and will not be disclosed to any third parties. When this information is used, it will be coded and represented in form of numbers only."

It is important that the enumerators have their identification card with them at all times. The identification card will verify that they have been designated to this particular assignment.

2.3.2 Dressing/manner and behavior
The enumerators must dress properly and suitable for working in field conditions. They must be polite, cool, simple and friendly and not show any aggressiveness towards the interviewee. Furthermore, they must be patient with the interviewee, in case the latter is uncooperative, criticizes, or complains.

2.3.3 Asking question during the interview

[p. 20]

The enumerator must attempt to ask [the questions] to the interviewee exactly as worded in the questionnaire. In the case that the interviewee does not understand the question, then the interviewer should repeat the question. If the interviewee still does not understand, the interviewer must use simple wording to ask the questions, but must be careful that the meaning of the question remains the same as is given in the questionnaire. Avoid leading questions because they will influence the answers obtained. It is important that the enumerator not comment about or criticize the answers of the interviewee, in case that the enumerator feels the answer is wrong or does not reflect the truth. This may occur unintentionally. It is important that the interviewer find other means to make the interviewee give the appropriate answer at all times.

2.3.4 Advise for action in the case no cooperation
If the enumerator interviews any household and finds out that the person living in that house is not cooperative - for example, does not want to meet, does not want to be interviewed, or is giving misleading answers - the enumerator must attempt to again explain the objective and benefit of the census and affirm that all information obtained will be strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to any third parties.

If the person interviewed still refuses to cooperate, the enumerator must report to the supervisor or the provincial/Bangkok metropolis permanent officers, so that they act accordingly.

In the case the enumerator does not get any cooperation due to the fact that the interviewee is not ready - such as they are doing business or attending a traditional ceremony - the enumerator must either wait or proceed to other households before returning to that particular household at a later period.

2.3.5 Reviewing answers in the questionnaire
When the enumerator finishes the interview and has already recorded the data for the given household in all the listing and enumeration forms, it is important that the enumerator review all the questions asked and see that they have all been answered. In the case that the answers are not complete or enumerator is uncertain about the accuracy of the answers, they must repeat those particular questions again. The process of reviewing all asked questions before leaving the interviewed household will avoid returning to that particular household for re-interviewing.

[p. 21]

Once the review process is finished, it is important for the enumerator to express their appreciation to the household member for their cooperation with the government in carrying out the census.

2.3.6 Making an appointment for re-interview
Whenever the enumerator visits a house in which he/she did not find the interviewee or could not conduct the interview, the enumerator should make an appointment indicating the specific time and date for the interview and record them completely in the PHC4 form (interview appointment form). The enumerator should either leave the form in the mail box of that particular house, or alternatively ask a neighbor or other people living in household to give it to the head of the household. At the same time, the enumerator should record the date and place of such appointment in the listing form to remind him/herself to return to that particular household for the interview on the appointment date indicated.

2.3.7 When the interviewee answer "I do not know"
If the interviewee answers "I do not know" to any question during the interview this may indicate the following:

a) The interviewee did not understand the question.
b) The interviewee requires time to think about the answer to that specific question.
c) The interviewee does not want to answer the question ever though he/she knows the answer to the question.
d) The interviewee does not know the answer at all.

In this case, the enumerator should ask the specific question again or simplify the question and allocate certain time period for the interviewee to think about the answer. If interviewee still does not know the answer, then the enumerator should accept the answer of "I do not know" as the final answer.

2.4 Legal authority and responsibility of the personnel involved in the data collection

2.4.1 Authority of operation officer in collecting data

[p. 22]

Operation officers who worked for the 2000 Population and Housing Census and who have been appointed as the supervisor and enumerator have the right, according to the Statistical Acts of 1965 section 18, to enter the house or personal office in order to fill in the questionnaire, in between the time period of sunrise and sunset, with the purpose of asking the household leader or member of that household to produce evidence or document related to filling out the questionnaire. In this case, the head of the household or the member of such household must be available to those officers. Therefore, the operation officers must bear in mind at all times that the legal right is given to them to enter the household premises between the time period of sunrise and sunset. Entering people's households before or beyond these time period will not be covered by the legal right. In certain cases, the leader of the household may allow the officer to enter their houses at other times apart from the legal time given.

2.4.2 Function and punishment of household leader and operation officer
The head of the household and its members must be available to the field operation officer who enters the housing premises for work at the specific time period, as stated in section 2.4.1
It is the duty of the head of the household and its members to explain facts or give right answers to the officer. Violating or disobeying the legal act mentioned is regarded as an offense, and will be punished according to the Statistical Act of 1965, section 23 and 24, as follows:

Section 23: Anyone who fills out statements or numbers in the given questionnaire when such person realizes that those statements or numbers are false, or gives information or answers that are false to the operation officer or field operator will be imprisoned for up to 3 months, fined up to 500 baht, or receive both a fine and imprisonment, according to section 18.

Section 24: Section 21 states that "All statements or numbers filled in the questionnaire and relating to a specific person or specific case, including the question that needed to be asked, must be treated as strictly confidential". It is prohibited for the operation officer, according to this Statistical Act, to disclose such statements or numbers to anyone not entitled the function and responsibility of working in the census, as stated in the Act, except during the investigation or interrogation for a case where a particular person is prosecuted for providing false information, as stated by the Act. The punishment for violating this act is 6 months imprisonment, a fine of 1,000 baht, or both a fine and imprisonment.

2.4.3 Keeping the collected data secret
All data collected and compiled from the 2000 Population and Housing Census will be evaluated, summarized, and presented for each province, region, and the whole kingdom. They will be published and distributed to all government divisions and institutes, private sectors, and general public. It is prohibited to disclose any information in relation to a specific person, or to disclose any statements or numbers to anyone who is not directly involved in the census process, according to the Statistical Act, section 21. Therefore, the operation officer must be very careful and treat the collected information as strictly confidential. Moreover, the operation officer must explain to the head or the member of the household their protective right according to the law.

[Section 2.5 p. 23-25 in the original document not presented here]

2.7 Regulation and procedure of the 2000 population and housing census
The 2000 Population and Housing Census divided the operational area in 3 different categories as follows:

1. Bangkok Metropolis Area
2. Municipal Area
3. Non-Municipal Area

In working for the listing and enumeration of all areas, enumerator needs to complete each block/village for all the listing and enumeration as follows:

1) Private household
Record by using the PHC1 form (Listing Form) and enumerate by selecting the sample household at 20% of the entire private household as follows:

For households not classified as sample households, these are enumerated using the PHC2 form (Enumeration Form). [Enumerator is instructed to use columns S1-S16].

During listing and enumeration, the enumerator is responsible for selecting the sample household according to instructions given in Chapter 4 of the listing form for column 11 and 12.

2) Collection household (special and institute households)
The enumerator must list and enumerate all households without selection of the sample household.

The listing is done by using PHC1 form (Listing Form) and enumerating by using the PHC2 form (Enumeration Form) in every column. The household questions do not have to be enumerated.

2. Mr. Wanchai rents a room from one family to live independently.
3. The house in which a father, mother, son or daughter and a servant live together
4. The house composed of one eldest brother/sister and three younger brothers/sisters. The eldest brother takes care, supports, and provides education for his/her brothers/sisters.

7. Three houses located on the same area (with or without a fence) where the mother and father live in the first house while the other two houses are for two of their daughters to live in with their families, one family per house. All people living in the latter houses have their meals together with the parents at the first house, but not all of them share or contribute to the food expenses.
[p. 30]

13.2 Collective Household
Collective household refers to a household that is composed of several people living together because of rules or regulations which indicate that they must live together, or because members saw it beneficial to live together.

Types of collective households

The instituted household is a household that is composed of several people living together under certain rules and regulations which indicate that they must live together.

For example:
1. Monks, novices, nuns, followers and adherents who live together in a monastery or temple.
2. Patients who stay in the hospital for over three-month period (except in mental hospitals, where admitted patients are considered as member of the instituted household right away)
3. Pupils and teachers who live in a boarding school, medical student dormitory, nursing student dormitory
4. Those seeking relief or providing assistance in a relief institution or center. This includes a caretaker in such an institution who is not living in a separate house.
5. Prisoners in jail
6. Soldiers or policemen who stay in camps or barracks, including cadets and police cadets.
7. Customers who rent a room temporarily, permanently, or for at least three months in a hotel or guest house.
8. Those who stay or observe religious precepts in vegetarian houses for at least three months or more.
b) Special household


[p. 31]

A special household is a household in which people live together in the same place for a specific purpose such as:

1) "Hostels", where people rent rooms, are special households. This includes both registered and nonregistered hostels. It does not include student dormitories in schools, colleges or universities. Hostels must have a signboard to indicate that they are hostels where people can rent a room.

2) "Laborer households" [is a location where] at least six people or more (not including the family or household of the owner) are permanently staying in their working place, factory, or any working place where there is no arrangement for them to live separately. For those laborers who live in a place where the factory or any other working place have arranged for them to live separately as an individual family (it may be separate room or a separate house) away from other laborers, their household is classified as a private household. In such places, there may be relatives or other persons living together.

Examples of laborer households:

Example 1:

In one house with six rooms there are two or three waitresses living together in a single room. The owner of a restaurant rents this house in order to provide a boarding facility for laborers. Every laborer's meal is provided by the owner of the restaurant. In this case, all waitresses are counted as one special household type laborer.

Example 2:

One automobile accessories factory has a three-storey house. At each storey, there are ten rooms. In each room, one or two laborers live together. Among the rooms, there are three rooms where laborers can have their parents stay with them. Moreover, at that factory, there are four houses in which the foremen stay. In one of the four, a foreman brought his wife and son to live with him. In this particular case, count the room and the house where the laborer and the foremen brought their families to live with them as four private households and the rest as one special household type laborer.
[p. 32]
Example 3:
There is a rice mill where there are 10 unmarried laborers. The owner of the rice mill provides separate accommodation for each of the laborers. In this case, all 10 laborers are counted as one special household type laborer.

Example 4:
A similar rice mill as mentioned in example 3, where Mr. Kaew - the husband of Mrs. Noi, both of them rice mill laborers - live together is counted as a special household type laborer if their accommodation is arranged by the mill

3) "Other special households" refers to households with six persons or more living together and who are not related, or when not more than three persons are related. All people live together and share all expenses. "Relative" in this case refers to husband, wife, son, daughters, son-in law, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, father, mother, brother, sister, maternal and paternal grandfather, maternal and paternal grandmother, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, maternal and paternal great grandfather of each spouse, maternal and paternal great grandmother of each spouse, cousins of each spouse.

Examples of other special households:

In a house where there are six people living together and all of them are not related at all but they share all the expenses, this is counted as one other type of special household.

If the same as Example 1, however there are three people who live in that house and every one shares all the expenses, this is counted as one other type of special household.
Exceptions of other special households
1) In the case of a household with six persons or more, in which only one person shoulders all or part of the expense for a group of three related persons, counts as a private household.

[p. 33]

Example:
In a household where eight people live together, three people are brothers and sisters and the eldest brother pays the expenses for his younger brothers and sisters, count them as a private household.

2) In a household where six persons or more live together and at least four persons are related, count them as private household. Sharing of expenses is not a sufficient factor for including the household in this case.


Example:
In a house where ten persons live together, five of them are related but everybody shares the housing expenses, count them as one private household.
Caution
The director's household, manager's household, prison or jail warder's household, officer of the confinement place, relief place, hotel personnel, workers in the hospital, and care taker of the student dormitories either at school or university, if living separately with their family, must be counted as private households.

In the case of people not living separately, consider the type of where they live or the housing where they live, and decide whether it is a private household or collective household.

In the case of soldiers, policemen who are staying at the barrack, camp, precinct or police station, if they live separately as a family, count them as private households. If they are not living separately by themselves or with their family, consider it as an instituted household.

For a private household that is located on temple premises, such as the temple treasurer's house, housing which is built on the temple's land, they are counted as private household, not counted as the institute household type temple or monastery.

Some examples are given to help decide the different kinds of households, especially when they are located in the same premises or within a given boundary.

Example 1:

[p. 34]

A particular weaving factory has two three-storey buildings, one for male laborers and the other building for female laborers. All laborers share the rooms, 10 people for each room. Furthermore, there is one two-storey building for married laborers to live with their families (not all member of the families are laborers). Each family lives in the ten separate rooms of the house. In addition, there is a house in which the factory owner and his family live.

For consideration of the households:

a) The two three-storey is a special household type laborer.
b) The one two-storey for married laborers is counted as 10 private households
c) The house of the factory owner and his family is counted as one private household.

Example 2:
In one hospital, there are three buildings that are used as patient wards, and six buildings used as medical and nursing students' dormitories where two students share a room in each particular dormitory. There are two hostels for doctors and nurses who work at the hospital where each of them occupy a separate room. There is a house with five rooms for custodians where custodians live with their families in the first three rooms (not all members of the families are custodians at the hospital). The two other rooms in the house are used for custodians without families. Five single custodians share the first room and other six single custodians share the second rooms. All single custodians have their meals through the arrangement of the hospital. In addition, there are three houses for married doctors.

Consideration of the households:

1) Three buildings used as patient wards are counted as one instituted household type hospital

2) Six buildings used as medical and nursing students' dormitories are counted as one instituted household type boarding school.

3) Each room in the two buildings used as hostels for doctors and nurses is counted as one private household

[p. 35]

4) Three rooms in the custodians' house where custodians live with their families are each counted as a private household.

5) Two rooms in the house where single custodians live are counted as one special household type laborers.

6) Each of the three houses where doctors reside with their families is counted as one private household.

Example 3:
PORNOR, which is an Islamic private school, serves both boarding and day students. For boarding students, there are those who live in separate houses and those who live as a family unit where a father, mother, and son/daughter live together.

Consideration of household

a) All those who stay overnight and in separate houses and do not live as a family are counted as one special household type other.

b) For all of those that stay at PORNOR as a family, each house is counted as one private household for each family.

A Thai style house, where separate houses are joined together with a platform and used as a residence for people from the same household. In the case that separate houses in the Thai style have separate households residing in them, the Thai house is still considered as a single house.

A float house that is built on a pond or reservoir, if separately located, is also considered as a single house.

In the case that a house has no walls, if there are several households living together, the principal household is considered as a single house and other households as other houses.

2.2 Town house (including twin house)
Townhouse is a building with two units or more attached to one another by common walls on one or more sides. The building can be a single storey or multiple floors. In some cases, the building is located away from the edge of the road, leaving space for car parking or other purposes.



[p. 47]

2.3 Suite
A suite is a group of rooms that are part of a building that can be used by a household as a living place. A suite must consist of a kitchen, toilet and entrance walkway of one own.

If a single house has a principal household (a household that occupies a major portion of the house) and other households that use a partial area of the house, the living place of the principal household is considered a single house and that of other households as rooms in a single house. This allocation occurs regardless of whether a household belongs to the owner or a renter.

2.6 Living place in a building or office

Objective

[p. 64]

For the purpose of knowing whether the house, building or other construction structure has been used as a living place or not, or if it is used for other purposes. If the house or building is used as a living place, how many households are living in that particular house or building.

Procedures for recording the form
The enumerator needs to observe or ask people whom he meets at the house, building or other construction structure. Alternatively, the officer may ask the people in the neighborhood whether the house, building or the construction structure has people living in it or not.

1. The house, building or the construction structure has no person living in it (such as office building, trading center, merchandize shop, government office, educational place). People come and work during the daytime but at night time there is no person staying. Alternatively, it can be a warehouse or an empty house where no person is staying.

An "Empty house" means a house used as a living place or in the process of [being inhabited]. However, on the date of the census, there is no person living in it (such as a rented house in which there is no person renting on the census date, newly constructed house where people have not moved in, etc.)

If there are many empty houses, buildings or row buildings that have several rooms where all construction is finished, but during the listing there are no people living in them, record all numbers of the houses, buildings and rooms in one line without separating each room.

Example:
In one row building, there are 10 rooms having room number 20/1 through 20/10. Record them as:
C3. 20/1 - 20/10
C4. 10 empty houses
If the house is a resort or a summer house and there is no person living there, record "Resort or summer house" in column C4.
[p. 65]
If the house, building or construction structure that is about to be listed as having no person living, record the function of that place (such as National Statistical Office, school, warehouse, office, empty room, empty house) and end the recording for that particular house, builder or the construction structure.

2. If the house, building or construction structure has a person living there, ask the question for each household living in that particular house, and also ask whether "people who live in that house have their meals together". If the people living in that house have their meals together, put a check mark in column 5, which means that there is one household in that house.

If people who live together in the house do not have their meals together, ask for the detail in order to correctly allocate the number of households in that particular house (see the explanation about households in Chapter 3: Definition, section on population no.13) and record the number of household of that particular house in column C6. If found that household members do not have meal together, such as in one collective household (special household or instituted household), record "1" in column C6.

In the case that there are many houses, or the building has several rooms on the same premises, or there are several rooms attached to each other and there is only one household living in it, record the house number of every houses or every buildings in column C3 and put a check mark in column C5.

For Example:
There are three houses number 21, 22, and 23 located on the same premises and all members who live together are related and they have their meals together. In this case, count it as one household by recording:
C3. 21, 22, 23
C4. Put a check mark
Column C7, C8, C9: Type of household
C7. Private household
C8. Special collective household
C9. Institute collective household

[Table summarizing type of household not presented here]

[p. 66]

Objective
For the purpose of knowing whether the household that has been listed belongs to any type of household (such as private household, collective household, special household or instituted household).

Procedure for recording the form

Record by putting a check mark on the line of the household listed.

Mark on one line of each household, such as:
Private household: put a check mark in column C7
Special household: put a check mark in column C8
Instituted household: put a check mark in column C9

Example:
A house with house number 123 has many rooms for rent. In the first room there are two people living together, husband and wife. In the second room only one person is staying, and in the third room seven people who are laborers are staying because their employer rented the room for them.

When the enumerator asks for details, it appears that the people living in that house do not have their meals together. There are two private households in the house and there is one collective household, type: special household living together in the house.

Record at the column C4, C5, C6 and C7, C8, C9 as:

C3. 123
C4. Leave blank
C5. Leave blank
C6. 3
C7. Put check marks in two top cells
C8. Put a check mark on third cell
C9. Leave blank

[Table summarizing columns C3-C9 not presented here]

[p. 67]

Column C10 -- C14: Series number of household

Private household
C10. Record the series number of household if C7 is marked

Method for selecting sample private household:
C11. If C10 has a series number, record the letter a, b, c, d or e and circle the letter "a"
C12. If C11 has the letter "a" circled, record the series number of household
Special collective household
C13. Record the series number of household if C8 is marked
Instituted collective household
C14. Record the series number of household, if C9 is marked

[Table summarizing columns C10-C14 not presented here]

Objective
For the purpose of knowing the number of each household classified according to the type of household listed in each block or village, and use it as a framework in selecting a sample of private households.

Procedure for recording the form
Column C10, C13, C14 (Number of private household, special household and instituted households in order or sequence)

[p. 67]

1. Record the series number of household in order of 1, 2, or 3 in the space provided until finishing off the block/village or the enumeration district (in the case the village is large in size).

2. In order to arrange the households in sequence, arrange the households in order of the type that have been classified as:

Private household, record the series number of the household in column C10
Special household, record the series number of the household in column C13
Instituted household, record the series number of the household in column C14

When starting the listing for the new block/village, the arrangement of the number of household in series has to begin with no.1 again.

In the case that a particular house or building has a person living, but the enumerator was not able to record the details in column C5-C25 in the PHC1 form, that particular house must be recorded as "not listed". No series number needs to be written in column 10-14

The house that has been assigned as "not listed" is the house where there is a person living on the census date. However, the enumerator is not able to interview [this person] for details throughout the operational period.

In the case that the house assigned as "not listed" had more than one household, and the enumerator was able to list only some households, consider the household that the interviewer could not cover throughout the operation period as "household not listed"

Guideline for action in case there is a "No listed household"

a) Record ["No listing"] in columns C1-C3 in the listing form (PHC1) to remind the operator.
b) Record the time when the listing could not be done as "No listing (first, second, third) time" in column C26
c) After going back for listing a third time or the officer cannot list that particular household throughout the operational period, record "No listing" in column C26
d) In case a particular house has more than one household, but the officer is not able to list all households during the interview.

[p. 69]

The officer must ask to a nearby household the questions concerning the type of the household in which the listing could not being done. Then put a check mark in either column C7 or C8 or C9, one line for each household.
Guideline for the house or household in which the interview cannot be done at first, but can be listed later
a) Record the last house in the listing form (PHC1) on a new line from the last house or building for which the listing was already done for that block/village. For the recording of the series number in order in column C1, it should be recorded from the last series number which has already recorded for that particular block/village.

b) Record the house number in column C3, and the number of household in column C6 on the line where the listing can be added.

c) Record the series number of the household that follows the series number of the last household of the same type, where the listed number was done for that particular block or village.
If it is a private household, record the series number of the household in column C10
If it is a special household, record the series number of the household in column C13
If it is an instituted household, record the series number of the household in column C14
d) Cross out the sentence "No listing for the time indicated" in column C26 and record the series number of the household where the listing was done (such as: the listing for household no.82 has been done in this case, so record "Listed for household no.82").
Column C11, C12: Selection of the private household at 20%
1. Check for the beginning letter of the enumeration district (ED), which was assigned by the supervisor before the beginning of the listing or enumeration on the job assignment form or job submission form (PHC3).
[p. 70]
Check whether the beginning letter of that enumeration district is an "a", "b", "c", "d" or "e".

2. Record the letter "a", "b", "c", "d" or "e" in the column C11. If on the Column 10 the series number has already been recorded, record the first letter followed by the beginning letter that was given in the PHC3 form (Job assignment or Job submission form) for every block/village. In the same enumeration district, there will be the same beginning letter, therefore record the beginning letter in column C11 on the line adjacent to household no. 1 in column C10. Record in this manner until you reach the letter "e", then start recording on the letter "a", "b", "c", "d" or "e" respectively. Repeat this procedure again until completing every household that has a series number on column C10.

3. Circle letter "a" in column C11

4. Record the series number of the household in column C12. If you find that a particular household in Column11 has "a" circled, count from no. 1 until completing all households that have "a" circled. The last number of the household that has letter "a" circled will indicate the number of sample private household in that particular block/village.
Column 15: Name and family name of the head of household
C15. Name and family name of the household's head. If it is the institution household, record the name of the institute, such as Wat Po, Siriraj hospital, etc.

[p. 105]

The question asked [of respondent will be] "What is your type of work in your business?", or "What are you producing?", or "What is your business?"

In recording the type of work or the type of business of the working place, the following guidelines must be followed:

1) Specify the type of business in the working place of a person.

4.2 If the business is in the working place but it is separated into divisions or sections separated from each other, record the type of business that is the most important in that working place, and also the section where the respondent is working. For example, if a person is working in the cloth dying section of the cloth weaving factory, record the cloth weaving factory, section cloth dying.

4.3 If all the businesses are in the same office, have not been separated from each other into divisions or sections, and the person working at the office is not doing only one type of work, record the most important business. For example, [there is] a shoe producing shop where the activities of producing shoes involve retailing, wholesaling, and repairing, and are being done together. If the person selling the shoes is also the same person who makes and repairs the shoes, record the working place where the person is working as "Shoe producing shop" because the production of shoes is more important than the selling or repairing shoes.

Things to avoid in recording the job description or the type of business at the working place

Do not record the name of the company, the name of the department store, or the name of the shop without showing the type of business of a working place (such as Disco, Taew Aiew Hong shop, Chareonphan shop, etc.)

[Table summarizing columns L17-L19 not presented here]

Procedure for recording the form

Column L17: Last week occupation

The question asked [of respondent] "Between March 25th and March 31st, 2000, in what kind of occupation did you spend most of your time?"

If working:

Record clearly the occupation, job description, and position that a person had during the past 7 days before the census date (such as commercial rice farming, cassava planting, coconut growing, electrical appliance sales person, chief of the financial section, painter, molder, furniture carpenter, rice transport laborer, mail, earth digger, etc.)

(Note: do not record the occupation as government official, businessman because they are ambiguous).

For the occupations like craftsman, teacher, engineer, mechanic, medical doctor, nurse, driver, agricultural worker, employee:

Record their occupations [to be] the same as the record of last

[p. 110]
year's occupation (see the procedure for recording last year's occupation from the PHC2 form, column S14)

If in the week before the census date a person had more than one occupation, record only one occupation by considering the following criteria:

1. The occupation where a person spent most of his time in the past 7 days before the census date.
2. The occupation where a person earned higher wages or income than for other occupations - if a person spent equal amounts of time in both occupations.
3. Ask the respondent to select the occupation by himself, if a person spent equal time in [both] occupations and earned an equal amount of income from [both] occupation.

If the work is a permanent occupation, such as a primary school teacher in the government school or a typist in an automobile selling company:

1. If during the past 7 days (March 25th-31st, 2000) a person did not work because of sickness or taking a leave of absence, the occupation for that particular person during the previous week before the census date was his permanent work.

2. If during the past 7 days (March 25th-31st, 2000) a person did not work for his permanent occupation because of a leave of absence or school closing, but did another kind of work, the occupation in the previous 7 days before the census date was a different kind of work that [the one] he was doing at that time.

For Example:
Mr. A is a primary school teacher in the government school. During the March 25th-31st, 2000 week, the school was closed. Mr. A made bamboo baskets, to be sold at his house. Therefore, the occupation of Mr. A during the 7 days before the census date was "Bamboo basket maker".

Permanent job:

The specific meaning of this is a kind of occupation, in which a person receives wages, salary or anything in return on a regular basis - even though during the 7 days before the census date a person did not do the work - that person still maintains his position during that 7 days period before the date of the census.

If [the respondent] knows the occupation but not the position:

Record the occupation on the space provided and record a dash for the position.


[p. 111]
If [the respondent] does not know the occupation, job description, or the position, but the enumerator is sure that person is working:

Record "Not working".

For those who are not working such as the pensioner, having income from loan interest, etc. they are considered not working

5.5.3 Part 3 Questions on housing
[Ask only for the sample private household]

The questions on housing ask about the living quarters of all private sample households.

In order to answer the questions on housing, [the enumerator] must enumerate the household but not the person. If a particular house contains several households, there is a main household that occupies the major portion area of the house, and there are other households living in the same place, the criteria for enumeration will be as follows:

If the main household is a sample household, enumerate the house on each item and consider the description of the living place, including all facilities of the main household only.

If the household is living in a room within the same living place as the main household that is selected to be the sample household, consider the description of the living place, including all the facilities of that particular household only so to ask each item on the housing form.

If a single household lives in more than one house within the same premises and is selected to be the sample household, consider the description of the living place where the head of household is staying (except the possession of appliances, which should be counted for all the houses) so to ask for each item of the housing form.

5.6 The objective of the data collected can be briefly concluded as follows:

5.6.1 Data on the number of the population, and the number of households:

Provide the information on the number of the population of the country and the number of the population resides in each region, including the density of population in each locality. This information will assist in measuring the increase in population at each locality.

5.6.2 Number of the population by age group and sex:

These are the basic data that provide information on the number or structure of the population at different age groups, such as child-age population, schooling-age population, working-age population, female population at its reproductive age, and old-age population. This information is vital and beneficial in planning important projects of the government (such as in school expansion, working capability, public and social welfare, and security for the population in each group).

5.6.3 Data on religion and nationality:

These data are used to study the differences in religious belief of the population in each region. Moreover, they are used to study the number and description of foreigners coming to work in Thailand.

5.6.4 Data on education:

The data on education (such as number of literate persons, number of pupils and students attending school, and number of persons who graduated in each grade and level of education) are beneficial to the improvement of the educational plan for every level.

5.6.5 Data on working status (such as data on the number of unemployed people, number of those who are not in the labor force, number of employed persons by occupation and description of work or the type of business at their working place, working status as employer, employee, private business, etc.):

These data are a benefit to human resource planning, educational planning and training, work search, guidance for occupational development, news and press relations involving labor, statistical arrangements in relation to occupation, and can be used for consideration in labor policy planning.
[p.130]

5.6.6 Data on fertility (such as data on marital status, number of children ever born, number of new-born babies born last year) are important basic information in studying fertility:

These data provide the knowledge on the average [number] children born to Thai women, which are very important for population policies on family planning.

5.6.7 Data on mortality (such as the number of children ever born who died):

These data provide information on the mortality of children and infants, and also the life expectancy of the population, and are beneficial to public welfare planning.

5.6.8 Data on migration (such as the province of birth, province where a person lived before moving away in the last 5 years, migration from the municipal area and non-municipal area and the reason for migration, include moving in or out from one place to another):

This information is important when considering the population distribution policy, since migration into any area - if it occurs rapidly - will cause the problem of lacking dwellings and slums, and give rise to problems in public health, social services, unemployment, crime and education. Therefore, the number, pattern and description of migration for the whole Kingdom, classified by locality where this information can be obtained from the population and housing census, will be very important.

5.6.9 Data on the language used by the household to communicate.

This is the information used to study minority groups, which have different cultures from normal citizens (such as the hill tribes living in the northern regions, and Islamic Thais who use a Malay language), and are normally located in the southern province.

5.6.10 Data on housing (such as the description, type, living place procession, land ownership where the household is located, source of drinking water, water for general utilization, description of the lavatory, including the use of different kind of fuel for food preparation, procession of permanent utilities):

These data provide the differences in levels of quality living of the households.
[p.131]
Receiving this information will be beneficial to plan living condition development, the environment, lack of dwellings for the population, public welfare improvement, and population health and hygiene, etc.
