Migration
To know about the migration in the past 5 years, ask the place of residence 5 years ago. Of course, this question will only be asked to those who are age 5 or older. Place of residence means that the relevant person has

[p.17]

ever lived in a place. If a person travels and stays in a place fewer than 6 months, it is not considered that he has resided in that place. If that person in question in a place officially even though for fewer than 6 months, then it would be considered that he had resided there. To stay officially means that he had prepared a change of address letter, for example, and has already registered himself with the local authorities as a resident.

Method of filling in the form
Ask the question about residence as follows:

"Did you live in this regency/municipality 5 years ago?"

If the enumeration is taking place in February 1976, then 5 years ago would have been February 1971. If the question is still not clear to the respondent, then explain as follows:

"Did you live in this regency/municipality in February 1971?"

Fill in the code for the respondent's answer in column (5).
