Q. 16 Purpose of building use
40. When recording this item the following coding will be taken into consideration:
Code 2: buildings having other designation, where dwellings are found in buildings used largely for purposes other than living (for example: institutions, schools, shops, etc.);
Code 3: when the majority of the building is occupied by collective living units of the hostel type (boarding school, student hostels, workers hostels, children's homes, hospitals, asylums etc.), or of the hotel type (hotels, motels, tourist cabins, hospitals, sanatoriums, maternity houses etc.);
Code 4: when there are multiple dwelling buildings where only some apartments are occupied, as well as an individual building having a single dwelling, where only one room or part of the living spaces are occupied.
Buildings having other designation or buildings having collective living units under construction, where there dwellings are already occupied by residents or boarders, will be recorded with codes 2 or 3, depending on the situation.
