Question 3. Is there a kitchen in the dwelling? [p. 53-54]

1. According to the census definition, kitchen is a space in a dwelling separated by walls (with or without windows) which is designed and equipped for preparing meals and is mainly used for that purpose, regardless of the fact, whether it is also used for eating, sleeping or other housing purposes.

2. A kitchen with a window and a space (of the floor) of 4 square meters or more should be shown in the first grid, by filling in a concrete number, e.g. 1, 2, 3. If there are other kitchens, e.g. a kitchen without a window or a kitchen as a separated part of the living room, select an appropriate answer by filling in X (next to symbols 6 or 7)

Giving more than one answer in question three is possible but only as an exception, e.g. if the dwelling is inhabited by two households and one has a kitchen at its disposal and the second one has a kitchen without a window. In such case, fill in the first grid with number 1 and in the further part of the question select answer 6.

If some of the kitchen appliances, e.g. washbasin or gas/electric cooker are installed in the ante-room or in a small niche in the living room, it should be assumed that there is no kitchen in the dwelling. In such case select answer 8.
