Question 116 - type of occupancy of the housing unit:
The complete the data of this question, the enumerator must fully know the difference between private household and collective household (see definition). He should also distinguish between the place used as a hotel and the other types of collective housing units.
The enumerator has to be accurate in the operation of data collection. He should carefully investigate whether there are in private housing units within the collective housing units. It is possible that the enumerator may encounter a building meant to be used as a hotel. However, after probing, it is possible that this hotel has a wing used as a residence for the hotel manager and his family (being a private household). Data about this private housing unit should be collected independently of the hotel despite the fact that it is located within it. It is also possible that the hotel has a set of rooms that are used for the residence of personnel under the framework of collective household. In this case, these rooms should take a special number as a collective housing unit. The type of housing unit in question 115 is apartment. All the data are compiled as if they were for a private or collective household depending on the case. The other rooms in the hotel that are reserved for guests take independent numbers. This also applies for the other public housing units such as hospitals, prisons, students housing in universities and some schools with boarding units, etc...
The enumerator must distinguish between the types of occupancy of housing units that are not populated. Examples of these are closed housing unit, empty housing unit, and housing unit under construction. The enumerator should link the types of occupancy with the types of housing units listed in question 115. It is not allowed that the type of the unit is hair tent/tent whereas the type of occupancy is marked as empty or under construction. Similarly, it is not allowed that the type of housing unit is "under construction" and the type of occupancy of the housing unit is hotel, empty, or occupied by a private or collective household. The type of occupancy is only described as under construction if the type of the housing unit is under construction. This being said, it is possible that the type of the housing unit is house, apartment, villa, whereas the type of housing unit is under construction.
In the case the type of occupancy of the housing unit is populated by a private or collective household, the enumerator continues to complete data for question 117 if the type of occupancy of the housing unit is hotel or public housing unit, move to question 129 in the case the type of occupancy of the housing unit is empty, closed, under construction, or other, move to question 131.
