Question 138 - the presence of the elevator:
This question is about the presence of an elevator in the building regardless of whether the elevator reaches all the floors or not. The enumerator enters code 1 if the elevator is available, code 2 if there is no elevator. The codes should be entered in the corresponding field.
[Questions 7-8 were answered in case of a building with more than one floor, according to question 6.]
7. This building has an elevator?
[] 3 No
Question 5 - Indicate the number of floors in the building
Question 6 - Does the building have an elevator?

[] 2 It has not
25. Elevator (item 5)
The building is considered to have an elevator if the buildings have a complete installation (motor and cabin), regardless of the fact that the elevator is or is not functional at the time of the census. If the installation was completely or partially removed (for example only the motor), the building is considered as not having an elevator. Only the elevators for persons in the buildings that are designed for living or in those with other designation or with collective living units (if there are dwellings) will be recorded on the form.
No questionnaire text is available for this sample.
In addition to providing information about the equipment of the buildings, this complements the previous variable.
