Rooms for professional purposes, commercial activities, etc. (item 7)
28. On the form, to this item, , the number of the rooms used only for professional purposes, commercial activities, etc, as well as the surface occupied by these rooms will be recorded (whether it is the case).
These rooms are considered as occupied for professional purposes, the rooms from the dwellings intended, when designated in the building to be for living, but when the enumeration was carried out, these rooms were used by the persons of the households occupying these spaces, as firms, commercial companies, tourism units (on the basis of a contract signed by the holder of the dwelling), so for other purposes than those for habitation. For example: will be recorded the number of the rooms from multi-apartments building, transformed by their owners into medical clinics, lawyer offices, pawn houses, barbershop, etc.
The way of recording:
-- the number of the rooms used for professional purposes, commercial, etc. -- will be written using Arabic figures (example: 01, 05, 11) on the designated cassette to this aim;
-- the surface of the rooms for the professional use, commercial, etc. -- will be written in square meters, no decimal fractions, applying the rounding off (in the same way as to the item 6);
-- when, in the case of the permanent or seasonal/secondary dwellings, no rooms are used for professional purposes, or commercial activities, item 7 will be barred by an oblique line.
Particular situation: when a room is used both for living and for professional purposes, this room is considered as habitable room (and so will be recorded at item 6, and not at item 7), and the
persons living in this room will be recorded on the chapters I and IV of the PL form; when the room is used
[p.25 ]
exclusively for professional purposes, in this case will be recorded both in item 6 as well as in item 7, but the persons working in this room (and are not living there) will be not enumerated on the PL form.
