9. Where did [the respondent] live in August last year?
134. Column A9: Place of usual living: 1 year ago
Q. Where did the respondent live this time last year?
This question deals with the usual place where each person was living a year before the census. If a person was temporarily away from home a year before the census, record the place where the person was living, not the place the person was temporarily visiting. For example, if someone living in Kgalagadi was away from home visiting friends or relatives in Jwaneng, or if someone was in hospital in Jwaneng, do not record the place of usual living a year ago as Jwaneng, instead write Kgalagadi. If a child was attending boarding school in Lobatse a year ago and was with his/her family in Central district during the school holiday, then the child's place of usual living a year ago was Lobatse; he/she was merely visiting Central district at this time a year ago.
For children who are under one year of age at the time of enumeration, enter 0000 (because this time a year ago they were not born).
For a person who is living in the same housing unit now as last year, enter 0001. For a person who was living elsewhere in the locality (as indicated on the top of the questionnaire) last year, enter 0002.
For a person who was living somewhere else in Botswana, write down the name of the census district (as described for A8).
For a person who was living outside Botswana a year before the census, enter the name of the country on the unshaded space. In cases where the place of usual residence a year ago is not known, write 9999 and 7999 if it is known that the person was outside Botswana although the exact country where the person was at that time is not known. Similarly if it was known that the person was somewhere in Botswana even though the exact location is not known, the code to use should be 6699.
