34. Type of housing unit, Question 44
Identify the type of the household's unit and mark one of the 1 to 5 boxes. The housing unit is where one or more members of the household live in at enumeration time and you have recorded its number on the inventory sheet, in column 4 or columns 4 and 5.
[] 1, Conventional residential unit: those units made of hard materials (brick, steel, concrete, stone, wood, etc.) like normal houses, apartments, etc., are considered as conventional residential units and mark box 1 for it.
[] 2, Tent: a tent is usually made of woolen, cotton, nylon, canvas or similar textiles and is set up with the help of wooden or steel rolling pins and ropes. For households who live in a tent at the time of enumeration, mark box 2.
[] 3, Lodge: a lodge is made of mat and sometimes with clay or brick. For households living in a lodge, mark box 3.
[] 4, Hut, slum, or similar constructions: for those households living in or around a city in units bungled with material such as tin, nylon, canvas and is known as a hut, mark code 4. Some households live in places dogged in hills and not many materials have been used in their structures. For these households, whose units are known as slums, and also for those households who live in places such as caves, boughs, etc., also mark this option.
Other: usually it is expected that any unit will be categorized as one of the above, but it is possible to observe some households whose housing units do not match with any of the choices mentioned above, like those households living in motels, hotels, caravans, etc., and do not have any other place. For these households, mark box 5.
Note that some households live at the work place and do not have a separate place to live in. Also mark box 5 for these households, like shop boys who sleep at the store.
For those construction workers who live in the constructing or destructing building, or temporary places in the work location, mark box 5.
