8. Where does [the respondent] usually live?

131. Columns A7-A12
These questions collect information about the place of birth, places of residence, and parental survival of the persons listed in column A1. This portion of the sample questionnaire is inserted on page 30 for easy reference.

133. Column A8: Place of usual living: Now
Q. 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 of the village where the school is located - or, if the school is outside Botswana, enter the name 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. (However, 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 census district in the unshaded area under column A8.

For a person who usually lives outside Botswana, enter the name of the country in the unshaded space.

For non-citizens working permanently 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 cases where the place of usual residence is not known, write 9999. If it is known that the person was outside Botswana although the exact country where the person is living not known, write 7999. Similarly if it is known that the place of usual residence is somewhere in Botswana though the exact location is not known, the code to use should be 6699.
