III - Instructions pertaining to the 1985 census notebook and questionnaire

1. Instruction pertaining to the census notebook
Three types of 1990 General Population Census notebooks have been prepared. These consist of 11, 25, and 41 questionnaires, respectively. The number of household questionnaires that the notebooks contain is indicated on the census notebook cover.

On the cover of each notebook, there are questions pertaining to the census region, the sequential number, and the administrative division (village, quarter, and neighborhood). Without fail, these questions must be filled out by the enumerators before the census. Furthermore, after the census has been completed, the section indicating the number of people that have been administered the census as well as the "Enumerator and control officer declaration" section, onto which the enumerator and control officer are to sign their names and surnames, must be filled out. On the back cover of the census notebook, there is an "Age according to the years of birth table". When the need arises, it must be used by the enumerators.

2. Explanation regarding the 1985 general census questionnaire
As explained earlier, the enumerators are to fill out the questionnaire in printed letters, doing so legibly, completely and accurately, as instructed below.

The questionnaire consists of 4 sections:

Section I: Address
Section II: Nature of the location
Section III: Questions pertaining to the household (1-10)
Section IV: Questions regarding individual characteristics (11-42)

Section 1: Address
For this section, write the address of the location where the census is being conducted (major thoroughfare, street, housing division name or number, the outer door or flat number) making use of the "Census region building" table (Reference C).

Section 2: Nature of the location
For the nature of the location where the census is being conducted, answer by putting an "X" into whichever box in this section is applicable. Absolutely refrain from marking more than one box. Definitions of some of the terms encountered in this section are explained below:

House: Structures, in which there are two flats (dwellings) at most, regardless of how many floors they consist of.
Apartment building: Structures in which there are three or more flats (dwellings), regardless of how many floors they consist of.
Squatter structure: A structure built without a license on a lot located on another person's or on public property (even if they have obtained a title grant document).
Places such as a tent, a [tree] hollow, a shack, a cave: Places external to a house, apartment, squatter structure where people in certain regions live.

Section 3: Questions pertaining to the household (1-10)
Fill out this section only for places exhibiting the characteristics of a household. Do not fill it out for military garrisons, military posts, hotels, hospitals, etc., and cross it out with an "X". In administering the census to people located in such places, it is to be done in such a way that 9 people are written up on every page of Section I, and by continuing on to the next page without leaving any gap in between, making use of as many questionnaires as needed.

A special enumerator will be assigned to places such as these for which the notation "Not to be visited" has been written on the "Census region building tables" (Reference C). The notation "Special census" is to be written onto the census notebooks filled out in places displayed below that are to be designated by the special enumerators as being subject to a special census. These places are the following:

Military, gendarme and police barracks, jails and associated establishments, as well as living quarters in military bases (including foreign bases) located in military zones into which entry is not permitted to civilian public servants.
All public and private (military and civilian) hospitals, sanatoria, maternity hospitals, health clinics, dispensaries, and similar establishments.
All public and private (military and civilian) boarding schools and student dormitories (those people present in non-boarding schools on census day, are to be written up by the enumerators assigned to the census regions to which [these schools] belong).
Prisons and penitentiaries (military and civil).
Places where people are on duty on census day.
Places not to be included in a census region:

Roadside bus stops or terminals, and vehicles traveling on the roadways,
Train and train stations,
Means of sea and air transportation and ports,

Places (factories and large workplaces where census day work was permitted) deemed by special census officers of the census committees as appropriate for having a census conducted.
Embassies, charges d'affaires, attaches, consulates.

Numbers in the "Census region building table" (Reference C) for the places cited in the above paragraphs must be notated with the words "Not to be visited" beside them. If the entry "Not to be visited" is not observed next to such places in the "Census region building table" (Reference C), a request to have the necessary correction made is to be submitted to the census or control officer committee.
However, people such as a school principal, chief physician, caretaker, [or] night watchman living permanently in a school, hospital and other similar institutions, are to be considered as independent households and are each to be written up on separate pages.
At the same time, for people in places that do not constitute households, this section is not to be filled out and is to be crossed out with an "X". The census for people in these sorts of places is to be written up in Section IV as an aggregate population, with 9 people to be written on every page, and then going on to subsequent pages as necessary without leaving any gaps between them.
For places that constitute households, fill out Section IV with one line per household member and write "Household head" on the first line.

Question 1: Name and surname of the household head
Regardless of whether the household head is at home or not, write the household head's name and surname in "_______".

The definition and explanation of household are provided below:
Household: That collectivity composed of one or several people, whether bound by kinship or not, living in the same house or in a portion of the same house, sharing in the provision of service or in the management of the household, who do not separate their income and expenses among themselves.

People not bound by kinship but who live together on a continuous basis for various reasons, and do not make any distinction among themselves in terms of their expenses and earnings, are considered to be households. At the same time:

Even if they are bound by family ties, those living in separate houses are not to be considered as belonging to the same household.
Those living in the same house and bound by familial ties, but whose food consumption derives from distinct earners, and who treat their respective income and expenses separately among themselves, are not to be considered as belonging to the same household.
Those living in the same house, who are not bound by any family ties, whose food consumption derives from separate earners, and who distinguish among themselves in terms of their income and expenses, are not to be considered as belonging to the same household

People, who although not members of the household being administered the census, are present in that place on census day, are also to be recorded in the same questionnaire as the one for this household. However, the fact that they are guests, must be indicated in the question on "Degree of kinship to the household head".
Those living in the same house who lack any kinship ties among themselves, who consume food based on the earnings of distinct earners, and who distinguish among themselves in terms of their income and expenses, are not to be regarded as belonging to the same household.

Question 2: Is the household head at home?

If the person whose name and surname are written down as the "Household head" in the first question is at home, place an "X" into the 1 "Yes" box, and if not at home into the 2 "No" box.

Household head: The household head is that person among members of the household who is responsible when it comes to the household's income and expenses and who manages the household.

Question 3: How many people are now present in this home, including guests?

Regardless of whether or not they belong to the household, write in numeric form the number of people present at home at the moment of the census, including guests into the "___".

If the rent is being paid in the form of goods or a service, write the monthly value of the goods or service; if the rent is paid on an annual basis, divide the amount by 12 months and write the monthly value. Do not reflect in the rent, general expenses such as those for fuel, the caretaker, and heating maintenance man fees. In case, these expenses are paid for together with the rent, write the net rent amount after asking about and subtracting these expenses.

If there is a room or rooms in the section utilized by the household that is being used as a workplace, these must be subtracted from the number of rooms.

Take care that the household head's name and surname entered in this section is identical to the one written in in the first line of Section III.
After writing down all of the characteristics of the household head, whether he/she is at home or not, also write down all the characteristics of the other household members at home, beginning from the oldest and proceeding in order of age, from oldest to youngest. After the household members, write onto the dotted line in printed letters, in order of their ages, the names surnames and all the characteristics of those, who, while being present at home, are not household members. Answer questions with a box, by placing an "X" into it.

Question 11: Your name and surname?

Among our people there is a general tendency to state their ages in round numbers that end in a "5" or a "0". 21 or 22 year-old people may state their age as "20". Additionally, 36 or 37 year-olds, may state their age as "35". If such round numbers are provided in response to the age question, ask some additional questions that may be useful in eliciting the true age, as long as this does not give rise to argument.
In the event that someone being administered the census states his/her birth date, write the age as of October 20 by looking at the table displaying age according to birth dates that is on the back cover of the notebook.

Rather than stating the job someone does in general terms, it should be stated using terms that fully specify the job, trade or service being done. It is especially true for jobs that end in "-ist", "-er" that convey a general meaning and may denote more than one job. Do not use these terms alone, and enter them in such a way that indicates the special nature of the job. Examples are provided below of correct and incorrect ways of denoting the job being done.

Incorrect
Shoemaker
Miner
Heating professional
Laborer
Engineer
Correct
Shoe manufacturer
Shoe repair person
Shoe salesman
Mine laborer
Mining engineer
Heating system installer
Heater (radiator) manufacturer
Heater repair person
Construction worker
Auto assembly worker

Generally, when asking about the job done by people working for a salary or wage in a public or private establishment, the answer given is "Public employee/white collar worker". For answers provided in this form, ask for the type of job the person does as a public employee/white collar worker and write the answer in a precise manner.

Driver, servant, etc.

For members of the armed forces; for the job done by officers, whether combat or non-combat, write only "Officer"; for non-commissioned officers, write "Non-commissioned officer"; and for privates, write "Private".
If in addition to taking care of or helping with work in their own houses, housewives did another job within the last week in return for money or goods in order to derive an income, then regardless of the period worked at that job, write the job she held. For any job that women did during the last week to earn an income such as tailoring, embroidery, basket weaving, ceramics, doing laundry, carpet weaving, working as a maid, farming, raising vegetables, write the job held as "Tailor", "Embroiderer", "Ceramics maker", "Carpet weaver", "Laundry washer", "Maid", "Child caretaker", "Farmer", "Livestock raiser", "Vegetable grower".
Particularly in rural areas, if the answer provided for the work done during the last week is "Housewife", ask if this woman had worked in the fields, in a vineyard, in a vegetable garden, in animal husbandry, etc. If the person in question had worked at such jobs, then regardless of the time worked, write the job she did as "Farmer", "Viticulturist", "Vegetable grower", "Livestock farmer".

Question 36: Identify the place, establishment or workplace that you worked in or did not sever your connection to, within the last week.

(A farm field, municipality, the Security Directorate, State Institute of Statistics, a fresh produce store, etc.)

Write the name of the place that the person being administered the census works or, if it has no name, write the type of place it is.

As for example: Turkey Coal Enterprises, Etibank Murgul Copper Enterprise, Justice Ministry, Ersel furniture, farm field, vineyard, forest, etc.

Furthermore, for those doing their job as an itinerant, write "Itinerant" and for those doing it at home, write "At home". For officers, non-commissioned officers and privates as well as for other white collar workers, laborers, and low-level / low-skilled employees working in the military, write "Military" as the place [where] they work.

Question 37: What is the nature of the business/activity pursued by the place, establishment or workplace that you were working in or with which you did not sever your connection, during the last week?

(Public service, retail trade, banking, refrigerator manufacture, TV repair, etc.)

Write the nature of work being done in the workplace of the person being administered the census, clearly and unambiguously. In this question, please do not repeat the name of the person's workplace or the job that the person performs in that workplace.

As for example: Field agriculture, viticulture, beekeeping, livestock fattening, vegetable growing, textile weaving, ginning and textile finishing, macaroni production, drug production, wholesale trade, retail trade, passenger road transport, intra-city cargo transport, road construction, building construction, health services, educational services, public service, barbering, tailoring.

For the activity being pursued by the place that officers, non-commissioned officers and privates and other white collar workers, laborers, and low-level/low skill employees working in the military, instead of "Military services", write "Military" as its [more] concise equivalent.

Question 38: What is your employment status in the job you were working at worked or did not sever your connection with during the last week?

Depending on the employment status in the job held within the last week by the person being administered the census, if [the person was] an employee place an "X" into the 0 "Employee" box, if an employer, into the 1 "Employer" box, if self-employed, into the 2 "Self-employed" box, and if an unpaid family worker, into the 3 "Unpaid family worker" box.

In getting this question answered, pay attention to the following definitions.

Employee: Those working in someone else's business in return for money and goods, with the purpose of securing an income (public employee/white collar worker, laborer, low-level/low skilled employee, qualified worker [journeyman], manager, etc.) on a wage, salary or casual wage basis.
Employer: A person employing one or more wage or casual workers in his/her own workplace. (Each and every one of the partners in a workplace who hire any employees or casual workers is an employer.)
Self-employed: People working either alone or together with unpaid family members (without employing any paid employees) who seek to earn an income in the form of money or goods by working in their own business (in their field, vineyard, garden, store, office, manufacturing workshop, repair shop, etc.). Partners in a workplace [who do] not hire paid employees in their endeavors are not to be considered as working for someone else. These partners are also to be considered as being "Self-employed".
Unpaid family worker: Those working with the purpose of helping out in the work engaged in by the household, without receiving any payment, are unpaid family workers.

Question 39: If you did not work or are not maintaining your involvement with your job, what is your reason for not working?

(The "Other" box is to be marked for those unable to work and in jail)

If the reason that the person being administered the census did not work at a job during the last week in return for money or goods, or why he/she did not maintain a connection to the job, is being retired, place an "X" in the 3 "Retired" box; if it is being a student, [place it into] the 4 "Student" box; if it is being a housewife, into the 5 "Housewife" box; if it is being a rentier [income recipient], into the 6 "Rentier" box; if it is for another reason, into the 7 "Other" box; and if it is being unemployed, into the 8 "Unemployed" box. If more than one of the situations specified in the question apply to a person's circumstance (such as "Retired - student; student - housewife; retired - housewife; housewife - unemployed; student - unemployed), accept the circumstance that is the initially specified [as the first one] in the question.

Question 40: Are you looking for work?

(Persons who answered Question 39)

If the person being administered the census answers yes, place an "X" in the 1 "Y" box, and if no, into the 2 "N" box.

Question 41: How long have you been looking for work?

(Persons who answered "Yes" to Question 40)

If the person being administered the census answers less than 1 month, place an "X" into the 3 "Less than 1 month" box; if 1-6 months, into the 4 "1-6 months" box; if 6-12 months into the 5 "6-12 months" box; if more than 12 months, into the 6 "More than 12 months" box. No matter how the person being administered the census is looking for work (through an official institution or by their own means), consider the person as looking for work.

Question 42: What is your main profession?

(Persons age 12 or older)

Main profession: A professional skill acquired that is the outcome of a period of study or specialization, based on knowledge, observational and practical experience.

For a person to have a profession, it is not absolutely necessary that the profession be practiced. However, the person must have the skill for practicing doing it, when required.

Regardless of whether the person did or did not work, or did or did not maintain a connection with a job during the last week, ask the main profession question of everyone age 12 or older.

If the person being administered the census lacks a profession, place an "X" into the 00 "None" box. For those with a profession, clearly write the profession into the "___" section. As for example: teacher, doctor, farmer, viticulturist, lathe operator, economist, nurse, mechanical engineer.

In designating the professions, pay attention to the following points:

To be equipped to practice certain professions, it is necessary to have completed a specific course of study or specialization. As for example: medical doctor, pharmacist, architect, mathematics teacher, class teacher, attorney.
In the case of some other professions, however, just as the acquisition of knowledge to engage in them may be accomplished through completing an educational institution and a branch of specialization, it may also be the outcome of knowledge, observational and practical experience. As for example an: auto repairman, carpenter, electric installer, lathe operator.
Even if those with professions had worked in a job outside their professions during the week preceding census day, the one that should be referenced is not that profession, but instead the ones that were acquired as the outcome of education or specialization. As for example: the main profession of a medical doctor who engaged in trade is "Medical doctor"; the main profession of an attorney acting as mayor of a municipality is "Attorney".
Households involved in agriculture are to be regarded as farm operators. Accordingly, agriculture as the main profession of the head of the household or any of its members should be specified according to the agricultural activity worked in, such as: livestock operator (large- or small-head), vegetable grower, fruit grower, flower grower, beekeeper, poultry operator, etc.
The main profession of other people in the household engaged in agriculture is to be denoted as: working in animal husbandry, working in fruit culture, working in field agriculture, working in flower growing, or working in poultry husbandry.
If the household head is a farm operator, then (as long as they did not declare another profession) the professions of other members of this household are to be designated according to the agricultural activity that they engage in, without reference to that of the household head's.
The professions should not be written in general terms, but instead, explicitly. They should be designated not as cobbler but as shoe-maker, shoe repairman, shoe seller, shoe shiner.
Instead of using terms such as manual laborer, worker, master (artisan), journeyman, artist, engineer, broker, building contractor, that are applied to designate many professions, they should instead be designated as in the form of journeyman barber, farm laborer, road construction worker, mechanical engineer, technical illustrator, construction engineer, real estate broker, etc.
The professions of combat officers and non-commissioned officers working in the military should be designated as officer or non-commissioned officer, without regard to their rank. Professions of reserve officers and rank and file soldiers should be designated as being whatever occupation/profession they had taken up prior to entering the military. Professions of non-combat class officers and non-commissioned officers working in the military are to be designated according to the professions they had taken up based on education or knowledge, observational and practical experience (such as doctor, health officer, chemist, mechanical engineer, electronics technician, etc.). The professions of civil servants working in the military are to be designated according to their acquired professions.
