Section 5: Goods owned by the household
This section provides information on the goods that household owns. Information on the households' owned goods, and that is normally part of the equipment of the spaces used for habitation [radio receptors, televisions, for example], must be obtained by referring to the households. Similarly, the information relative to rent is necessarily obtained by referring to the households.
The answers to questions that follow shall only be reported on the form number 1 used for the household.
58.2. Number of owned functional phone lines and lands/plots
Landline: A landline is a telephonic line, generally made of copper wires, linking the
subscriber's terminal, for example a telephone or fax post, to a public telephonic network, with a special connection to a telephonic standard. Even if around the world, the wireless phone has supplanted landlines, those remain nonetheless an important low cost mode of communication. Moreover, they serve as basis for internet access in the majority of the country, whether through the habitual line or trough numeric networks integrating internet services or a numeric access line.
Q: "How many landlines does the household unit have?"
Write down the declared number in the box reserved to that effect.
GSM line: In many countries, the mobile phone is becoming the main mode of communication. The numbers concerning mobile lines are thus fundamental indicators of the information society.
Q: "How many active GSM cards do members of this household have?"
Write down the declared number in the boxes reserved to the effect. This is the total number of GSM cards of all household members.
Lands/plots: This is the land ownership of the household, with or without a legal title.
Q: "How many lands does the household have?"
Write down the declared number in the boxes reserved to that effect.

Question 13 Appliances of the Dwelling
The last question of the Dwelling form has the intention of knowing most exactly the socioeconomic level of the household or the households that reside in the dwelling you are enumerating. The specialists in social science and statistics have come to the conclusion that one of the best ways of measuring the social and economic level of persons who inhabit a dwelling is through the registering of the appliances like radio, stove, electric iron, black and white television set, color television set, refrigerator, washer, bath warmer, telephone, vacuum cleaner, hot water tank, automobile vehicle that is not used for work or is principally for recreation. It is supposed that together with the evaluation of the state of the dwelling and the measuring of the education level, establishing if the households possess or not this type of appliances is a good indication of the social and economic level of the people who compromise the respective household.
As you will observe, it concerns those appliances that can be owned by one or more members of the household in question, but that are used by all of them. You should mark with an X, in each case, if in the household exists or not each one of the mentioned appliances.
[To the left of the text is a form.]
{Definitions respective of each type of appliance that is included in question 13}
In the case of the appliance radio or television in black and white or in color you should register if they "have" it or they "do not have" it in each household the type, size and number of them not being important. About the stove you should be careful that it concerns an appliance or mechanism made with the purpose of cooking or heating food. This means that an electric or gas grill, for example, or portable stove, a collection of stones or logs used in an improvised manner by the residents of a dwelling each time they want to eat, with the purpose of heating or cooking food is not taken to be a stove.
By what is referred to as "electric iron", it is clear that you should register only irons that work via electricity.
The refrigerator is found in a large amount of Costa Rican households due to, among other things, the increase of populations or human settlements that have electricity service. Nevertheless, refrigerators that work with other types of energy exist. In the case of those that are run on for example butane gas, consequently, you should register as "refrigerator" the appliance that is used to store in the cold food or materials that are perishable, the type of energy that it needs so that its motor works is not important. All this does not concern a freezer or other appliances that people use to keep their food cold, in which case you should indicate that the dwelling does not have a "refrigerator".
The washer does not offer major problems in comprehension since it only is an electric or gas machine that washes clothes.
The same thing does not occur with mechanisms that are employed to heat water that the members of a census household use both to bathe as well as to clean equipment. Two types of appliances exist that are used in dwellings to heat water: "bath heater" that is also known as "termo-hit", and the "hot water tank". The first is an electric appliance that is placed near the spraying or water exit and is connected to it to heat this water once it is connected by means of a "switch", to interrupt or connect to the electrical current.
[p. 36]
On the other hand the "hot water tank" is a deposit of metal of other material that is used to heat a good amount of water and keeping it hot during a more or less long time of the day. This appliance is generally electric but the case can be given that you will find tanks for heating water by other means of energy. The "hot water tanks" are connected generally to the pipe that brings water to the baths and kitchens. Two different lines exist to write down what refers to "Bath heaters" and "Hot water tanks". If it has only a tank do not write down heater and if it has only a heater do not write down tank; it can be that it has both or it does not.
As to what "telephone" refers to, simply register if the dwelling that you enumerate "has" or "does not have" this service by the ICE.
The "vacuum cleaner" does not exist in all the houses in our country, but it is very probable that you will find in your segment dwellings households that have this type of appliance.
Finally, something about the "vehicle (not for work)". It is important to emphasize that here only those automotive vehicles not used for work of the Census Household should be included. In other words, you only should say yes if in the household there exists any automobile, "jeep", van, "station wagon", etc. that the family members use basically for moving from one place to another be it in pursuit of fun or pastimes be it for shopping or going to their place of work. But careful with confusing a vehicle that is used simply for going to work and from there back household or any other place! When it is specified that it concerns a "vehicle (but not for work)", it is because you should ignore those automobiles, "picks ups", "jeeps", trucks, vans, etc. that the household uses for work and with which the head of the household or any other member of the household works (transporting products, distributing articles of consumption, carrying people, etc.

Question 526: Ownership of household items
Questions on the ownership of some household items can be used to measure the socio-economic level of the household. Ask each item one by one for all items and circle the code corresponding to the respondent's answer. If the respondent says that the household owns certain items such as a radio or motorbike but they are out of order, it should still be considered that the household owns the items and therefore code "Yes" should be circled. The concept used here is ownership and not usage.
Example:
Mr. Rahmat's household owns a refrigerator, but because the house has no electricity, the refrigerator has been placed at his sister Zaenab's residence. In this case, it is still considered that Mr. Rahmat owns a refrigerator. Meanwhile, if Zaenab's household is selected in the sample,
[p. 91]
then the answer for Q 526 for Zaenab's household would be that the household does not own a refrigerator.

Part J: Housing Conditions
2. Instructions for answering questions
g. Appliances at the household's disposal
The importance of the data on appliances which are at the disposal of the household lies in the information obtained on the standard of living of families from different localities and different types of places. This information, together with other data, is used by the Central Bureau of Statistics to determine the standard of living grades of localities or areas in the localities. This information is an important factor in the distribution of government budgets and other budgets (such as: Mifal HaPayis - the National Lottery) to the local authorities.
Question 10.70-10.210 - Now I will ask you if you have the following items:
Television, VCR/DVD, clothes dryer, dishwasher, microwave, air conditioner, solar water heater, personal computer or laptop, internet subscription, phone line (such as: Bezeq, Hot), number of phone lines, cellular phone, number of cellular phones, vehicle, number of vehicles.
- These questions examine the existence of these items and not necessarily their ownership. In other words, an item can be considered as available for the person's use even if he does not own it. For example: a person lives in a rented apartment where there is a washing machine that belongs to the landlord, or a person who got a cellular phone from his workplace.
- Write the respondent's answer even if he says a certain item is not at his disposal and you see the item in the apartment.
- If there are two or more households in the apartment and the appliances in the apartment are used by all the people living in it - each household should state that these items are at its disposal.
- VCR/DVD - VCR does not refer to a video camera, but to a device for recording and screening video tapes.
- Personal computer or laptop - does not refer to palm computers, but to desktop computers (PC) or laptops.
- Internet connection - only refers to internet connection from the apartment (and not general use of internet. For example: a person who has internet connection at work).
- Number of phone lines - if a household has more than nine phone lines, write 9.
- Number of cellular phones - if a household has over ten phones, write 10.
- Number of vehicles - if a household has over nine vehicles, write 9.

Such facilities in a family might be one or more than one. Thus, ask the family about each reference items and circle the references if they have such facilities. For example, if the family have radio, circle the reference 1 and if they also have cycle, circle the reference 10, too. Similarly, if they have other facilities such as television and mobile phone, then circle the reference 2 and reference 7 respectively.
These services in the family generally have to be in use and they should be working / not be stopped working in the day of enumeration. But if the item can be simply repaired and it can work but not working at the time of enumeration, then such stuffs should be considered working.
For example, if the family have motorcycle and it is in good condition, but has got a puncture or plug is not working or general malfunction, and hence put in the house without using, but can be used with simple repair and the family is planning to use it after some repair, in such case even the family has not using at the time of enumeration, the motorcycle should be considered as a facility the family have. However, if the motorcycle is in very bad condition and cannot be used with simple repair and there is no certainty whether to use it or not in the future, in such case it is considered that they family do not have a motorcycle. Similar conditions apply to other remaining facilities.
The materials / stuffs of those services have been generally described below:
6. Telephone - If the family has wired telephone service for its own use, circle reference 6. Whether the telephone service is local, STD, or ISTD, it should be put that the family has a telephone. But the wireless CDMA and SKY phone provided by the service providers like NTC and UTL should not be considered under the telephone category, instead they should be included under the mobile phone category.

The energy efficient stove, which is an equipment good, property, is cylindrical in shape, about 40 cm high. On the front part an opening is used to supply the stove with wood. Inside the stove, 3 stones are sealed in a triangle in order to support the pots. Clay is often used for its manufacture.
Energy efficient stoves allow a decreased consumption of wood, reduce the time that women devote to cooking and also reduce the risk of burns, especially to children. The ''Jambar'' ovens are modern energy efficient stoves
[p. 64]
Example of an energy efficient stove
[Illustrations are omitted.]
As for the
solar panel, it must be remembered that it is a device intended to recover solar radiation to convert it into electric energy usable by humans. In some villages that are not connected to the electrical grid, the solar panel is generally used (by some households) for the production of electricity.

Question H-29 -- Household goods
"Does the household have any of the following (in working condition)?"
Dot Y = "Yes" or N = "No" for radio, television, computer, refrigerator, telephone and cell-phone. All these devices should be in working order. If a person can receive calls but cannot use the phone to make calls this does not count.
Dot Y for cell-phone if at least one member of the household owns one or has the right to use one.
If more than one household has the right to use the device, e.g. a refrigerator or computer in a common space, dot Y = "Yes". We are not counting the devices, only how many households and persons in the country have access to them.
In households where they have neither a telephone (landline) nor a cell-phone, ask Question H-29a about access to a telephone.
In households which have either a telephone or a cell-phone, skip H-29a and go to H-30.

(H-10) Household goods: Does the household have any of the following?
Mark each item/facility that the household has with an X.
All these items should be in working order. If the person can receive calls on the landline telephone or cell phone but cannot use the phone to make calls, this still qualifies as a "Yes".
Mark the "Yes" box for cell phones if at least one member of the household has the full-time use of one.
If more than one household has the right to use an item, e.g., a refrigerator or a computer in a common space, mark the "Yes" box.
The purpose is not to look at the number of items in the dwelling unit, but rather to measure how many households have access to these items.
In order to have Internet facilities, the person should also have a computer and a cell phone and/or a landline telephone. We are referring to Internet facilities and a computer in the household not those that the person may have access to at work.

G. Housing conditions and ownership of properties
These questions are about tools used in house construction, services available in this household (such as water, toilets, electricity), the total number of bedrooms used by the household, and ownership of properties. The head of household is asked these questions. If the head of household is absent, try to get another member of the household to answer these questions on behalf of the head of household.
Usually, if a household is using more than one house, all questions about the material used to construct the house and the electricity used in the house are to be asked for the main house where most household members live.
For Census purposes, a house is a building used by people for living. Workshops or store, places where people do not live, are not involved.
Note: Questions about house are to be asked to private households only. For collective households such as schools, hostels, camps, hospitals, etc. these questions should not be asked because they are not relevant.
Ownership of properties
Question 37 enables us to know the properties owned and used in the household. As it is for other questions about the household, they will be answered by the head of household or anybody who will answer on behalf of head of household. For the properties listed, only one answer is needed: yes "1" or no "2". If the respondent tells you that he/she owns a certain property, ask if it works. If it has not been functioning for a long time, record as if [the head of household] did not have that property. The aim is to know the number of people [who own] the listed properties that function. Shade the codes according to the answer given by the respondent.
Question 37: Does your household have the following?
Phone
[] 1 Yes
[] 2 No
Note: Each of the above mentioned items must have one answer (yes or no). Ask if it is working. If it is with the technician, the answer is no.

21. Does this household have [the following appliances]?
By determining the possession (or lack) of certain electrical household appliances, it is possible to classify the household in terms of features and comfort. Similarly, it serves as a way to check the declared income.
In order to be considered possessions, the appliances must be in working order.
Complementing the list of appliances are means of communication and locomotion (without considering animal-drawn vehicles or bicycles) that allows the identification of special situations.
Within the means of communication, the landline and the cellular phone are included.
The refrigerator refers to the cooling unit, whether or not it has a freezer. The item freezer refers to the possession of the apparatus that only freezes (and is not incorporated to a refrigerator).
Automobiles should be of private use and it must work (with the exception of momentary breakage) in order to be considered. On the other hand, vehicles that are used only for working (taxis, delivery trucks) will not be considered; that's to say only take into consideration those of family use or those that, in addition to work purposes, are alsos used for private purposes.
[p. 33]
In the case of color TV, computer or laptop, cellular phone, automobile, or truck and motorcycle you must indicate the quantity of units. In the case of the telephone, keep in mind that the number of telephone lines (and not the number of apparatuses) is solicited.
It's important to clarify that a code must always be circled: those that are not marked will be considered as an error of the interviewer. While you should not assume the absence of items, act with tact and discretion in the consultation. In a precarious dwelling where there is not electricity, for example, it is unlikely that the household will possess many of the listed items.

7.3.6 Comfort and Household Equipment
Does this household have . . .?
The objective of this question is to evaluate the equipment and comfort of the households.
Act with tact and discretion in the consultation. Do not assume absences of some of the elements asked about due to the external characteristics of the dwelling. You should mark "yes" or "no" for each one of the elements.
You must also consider only the goods that are in working condition, beyond simply momentary break-downs and independently of whether or not they are owned by the household.
- Water heater or boiler: Select the option "yes" if the household has
- a means to heat the water that allows its storage at a determined temperature, without mattering the type of energy used for heating the water.
- gas heater that provides hot water for heating as well as direct use, in the bathroom or the kitchen
- a system known as "centralized hot water"
- Instant water heater: a unit for heating water that is activated when it detects the circulation of water or the user connects it to initiate the heating. As opposed to the water heater or boiler, it does not store the hot water. An example are the Rialco-brand heaters or the "chuveiros" although there are other commercial brands.
[p. 84]
- Refrigerator or freezer: This indiscriminately includes the common refrigerator, the refrigerator with freezer, or only the freezer. There are machines of this kind that function with gas or kerosene (that don't consume electrical energy). If this is the case, you must select "yes."
- Machine-operated clothes dryer: An electrical appliance that dries clothing with the circulation of hot air.
- Radio: Consider any type of radio apparatus, including battery or integrated to another apparatus (for example a MP3 with FM radio)
- Color TV, how many? Consider any type of television: common, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) or plasma. Record the quantity of the televisions (TV) that the household has and that are in working order. If the household does not have color TV mark 0. If the household has 10 or more televisions that work, record 9.
- Landline (fixed phone): Record "yes" in case the household has at least one ANTEL telephone line.
[p. 85]
- Cell phone: Record "yes" if at least one member of the household has a cell phone.
- XO from CEIBAL Plan, how many? Record the quantity of Ceibal Plan machines that the household has. If the household does not have any, record 0. If the household has ten or more XO that are working, record 9.
- PCs or laptops, how many? This includes desktop computers (PC), notebooks (laptops), netbooks or similar (for example, iPad). The Plan Ceibal machines are not included, since they are examined in the previous question. Note the quantity of PCs or of laptops that the household has. In case the household does not have any, record 0. If the household has 10 or more PCs that work, record 9.
- Internet access: Mark "yes" if the household has access to internet, whether via broadband (fixed or mobile) or via dial-up or Plan Ceibal. Keep in mind that the access must be achieved from the dwelling that you are interviewing. Record the option "No" if the members of the household most move to a place outside of the dwelling in order to connect to the internet. If the informant declares that he/she receives the internet signal from a neighbor (for example by capturing the Wi-Fi signal) you should select the option "Yes."
- Mopeds or motorcycles, how many? Record the quantity of the mopeds or motorcycles that the household has for private use or if by using it for some type of job it is also available for use by the household (for example: a motorcycle used to deliver food but that, in some moment of the day, is available for private use of the household). If the household does not have one, record 0. If the household has 10 or more, record 9.
[p. 86]
- Automobiles or trucks, how many? Record the quantity of automobiles or trucks that the household has available for private use, or if by using it for some type of work it is also available for use by the household. If the household does not have one, record 0.
