Where does [the respondent] usually live?

The place where a person spends or lives most of the time is that person's place of usual living. For example, for children in boarding school or teachers teaching away from home, enter the name and code of the village where the school is located - or, if the school is outside Botswana, enter the name and code of the country where the school is located.

For a person who usually lives in this housing unit (i.e. where he/she is being enumerated), enter 0001. For a person who usually lives somewhere else in the general locality (as indicated on the top of the questionnaire) where enumeration is taking place, enter 0002. (Though, in urban areas, if they live elsewhere in the same town they should be coded 0002 even if the actual locality within that town is different from the one stated at the top of the questionnaire).

For a person who usually lives somewhere else in Botswana, write down the name of the place in the unshaded area under column A7. If the place is a lands area or cattlepost write down the name of the village to which the lands area or cattlepost belongs. If the place 1s a freehold farm, write down the name of the nearest village. Check from the Village/Country List for the appropriate code of the village. Enter the code on the questionnaire, below the name of the village. If the person lives in an Extension Area in a town, write down the flame of the town and enter the appropriate code for the town.

For a person who usually lives outside Botswana, enter the name and code number of the country, prefixing the code number by 77, e.g. if Zimbabwe, write code 7710.

For non-citizens working pern1anently or on contract in Botswana, their place of usual living is where they usually live in Botswana. People whose usual place of living is outside Botswana will include: tourists or visiting businessmen (in Botswana for anything from a few days to a month or so); children who are at boarding school outside Botswana, but who, during the census, are here on holiday; and people who work outside Botswana (e.g. on the mines in South Africa) and are visiting their families or friends for a period of leave.

In the sample questionnaire in paragraphl03, James, Anne, Mimi and Molelo usually live in this household, so they are coded 0001 in column A1. Their son, Anthony, is usually away at boarding school in Francistown, so he is coded 0201. Note that "Francistown" has been written in the unshaded area and the code for Francis town is in the shaded area of column A 7, in the line corresponding to Anthony. David usually lives elsewhere in the same locality, although he frequently spends the night with James and his family. He is therefore coded 0002. Thembe usually lives in South Africa, so "RSA" is written in the unshaded area and 7707 is written in the shaded area.
