The distinction between a private and a collective household is sometimes very difficult to make. Private households can sometimes also be found at the premises of an otherwise collective household.
Private households
The distinction between a private and a collective household is sometimes very difficult to make. Private households can sometimes also be found at the premises of an otherwise collective household.
Private households
The households in your enumeration area will mostly be private households. They can be single person or multi-person households.
A single-person household comprises of one person living in a part or the whole of the dwelling unit, arranging for food and other life necessities on his own without joining other persons and possessing his own civil registration book.
A multi-person household comprises of two or more persons living in a part or the whole dwelling unit, and who together arrange for food and other life necessities and share a common registration book.

Collective households
Occasionally, a collective household will however be found. Collective households would consist of accommodation units of an enterprise, factory, school, temple, hospital, etc. Examples of collective households are KM 62 Orphanage House, Middle Level Medical School hostel, Dongdok University hostel, a temple where the monks live. The pre- conditions for being enumerated in the collective household are;
That s/he is to be registered in your enumeration area (see also page 13)
That the persons must be registered under the common registration book for the collective household;
Otherwise, the persons found in the collective household are to be enumerated in their respective private households.

Although tied accommodation and collective households might look similar, a clear distinction must be made between the two. In tied accommodation occupants usually live in private households and maintain separate registration books, which is not the case in a collective household.
