I. Dwelling data

5. How is the dwelling used?
The dwelling is used habitually, for everyday life as a home when its inhabitants are living there permanently in the whole year or in most of the year.

The dwelling is used only seasonally or as a second home when its inhabitants are living there only temporarily, in a certain period or occasionally. They can be:

- Seasonal dwellings (for example farm-houses) that are occupied only temporarily e.g. in the time of agricultural works,
- Dwellings in suburban or rural areas that are only used for recreational purposes mostly in nice weather. (Not occupied holiday houses must not be enumerated).

The dwelling is used for other purpose when it is considered a dwelling however in the time of the enumeration it was used as e.g. an office, a doctor's office, a workshop, though at any time it could have been suitable -- without any alteration -- for use as dwelling.

Vacant dwelling must be marked in case the dwelling has no inhabitants and is not used for other purpose either. This answer can be marked also when the persons who have their permanent home in the dwelling are staying abroad for more than 12 months and the dwelling has no other inhabitants and is not used for other purpose either. This is the right answer also in the case of dwellings that are not yet occupied but have an official permit for occupation.

In case you find a dwelling occupied by foreign diplomats or their relatives, please leave the Dwelling Questionnaire empty (if did not get a pre-printed one) and do not complete any Personal Questionnaires.
