69. Question 2, Characteristics of regular dwelling

[Omitted, question 2 is repeated]

Occupied regular dwellings

In case 1 of regular occupied dwellings only the main residences will be recorded.

As main residence is considered that where the household resides for the main part of the year and is located as a rule close to the work place of its members.

The main residence is occupied:
a) If on Saturday night to Sunday 14th to 15th of March 1981 were sleeping in it one or more persons and
b) If the residence is occupied in general and its inhabitants did not sleep in it on Saturday night to Sunday 14th to 15th of March, because they were temporarily absent (e.g. on vacation, professional trip, party, night work, illness etc.).


In the cases where the household is using two or more residences for the same more or less period of time, as a main residence is considered the one that they reside during winter and the rest are to be considered as vacation or secondary residences.

[p.27]

In cases where these residences are used at the same time by a multi-member or well-off household and are close are to be considered as a single main residence (e.g. two flats in the same block or two separate dwellings in a single plot used by a single household).

70. In case 2, the answer for vacation or secondary occupied dwellings is to be recorded.

Vacation residence is the regular dwelling located usually far from the main residence of the household (on a mountain, near the sea, etc.) and is used for relaxation during summertime or at intervals during all seasons.

Secondary residence is considered the dwelling that is used at the same time with the main residence and is not a vacation one.

The main types of secondary residences are:
a) Dwelling close to the work place of the household, used continually all year, or at periods or at seasons by a member or members of the household along with the main residence (e.g. businessman's residence close to his business, farm, stock farmer's residence far from the locality of his main residence, summer residence of nomad stock farmer etc.).
b) Residence used by a household or member of the household at a certain period instead of their main residence, e.g. Athens residence of a household having its main residence in the country.


The vacation or secondary residences are considered as occupied if on Saturday night to Sunday 14th to 15th of March 1981 one or more persons were spending the night in them.

Vacant regular dwellings

71. For the vacant dwellings an answer is to be recorded in cases 3 and 4 of question 2.

Vacant is considered the dwelling that was uninhabited during the census taking because:
a) Is intended to let or for sale.
b) The owner immigrated or settled elsewhere.

[p. 28]

c) It is a new building in the stages of finishing or it is repaired and
d) It is used at certain periods as vacation or secondary residence (and there were not any persons spending the night on Saturday the 14th to 15th of March in it).


72. To let or for sale is considered the dwelling that is for these reasons vacant on the day of census taking.

Inhabited dwellings on the day of the census taking but that are soon to be inhabited by other people and are advertised as to be let or sale are to be considered as occupied.

73-74. [Omitted]

75. In the second part of question 2 the number of regular rooms excepting the kitchen of the dwelling is to be recorded in the spaces provided.

In this case there must always be an answer since it is not possible to be a regular dwelling without at least one (1) regular room.
[Omitted, the definition of a regular room is repeated].

If the dwelling has only one regular room that serves at the same time for all needs of the household, i.e. for sleeping, dining etc. this room is to be recorded in this case and in the Question 3 it must be noted that there is no kitchen. If kitchens are regular rooms they are not to be included in the number of regular rooms recorded in question 2, but they must be recorded on the number of rooms of the household in part B of Form P-1 (DATA Pertaining to the Householder).

[p. 29]

76. In the last case of the question, the number of regular rooms that are used exclusively for professional purposes is to be recorded. These rooms must not used at the same time or at are periods for the needs of the household (e.g. for sleeping, dining, or as drawing room, etc,), but only for professional purposes.

Regular rooms are considered to be used exclusively for professional purposes if there is in operation a workshop producing, repairing or assembling goods or it is a services shop (e.g. hairdressing etc.) or they are offices of professionals (of lawyers, engineers, doctors etc.), or where goods are stored or materials needed by the professional.

If there is not a regular room used for professional purposes a - is to be recorded.
