One of the first four answers is marked by the enumerator for occupied or non-occupied dwellings.
A dwelling is any structurally unified whole intended for residence, with one or more rooms, with or without appropriate utility spaces (kitchen, bathroom, toilet, hallway, larder, etc.) and with at least one separate entrance.
As a rule, the enumerator enumerates only finished dwellings. A finished dwelling is a dwelling in which all designed construction, finishing and installation works have been done so that it can serve its designated purpose.
With the 2002 Census exceptionally unfinished dwellings are enumerated if at the time of the 2002 Census they are used for residence. In the P-2 Census questionnaire for dwellings the enumerator enters data only for that part of the dwelling that is used by the household.
If the household throughout the year uses another room or kitchen which is separated from the main premises of the dwelling (e.g. it is located in another building in the yard or in the same building but has a separate entrance), the enumerator enumerates it as part of the dwelling and not as a separate dwelling. Separate auxiliary premises (toilet, larder, summer kitchen, etc.) which are not used during the entire year are not enumerated.
[p. 39]
If due to specific system of construction rooms are accessed directly from a hallway, a veranda or a yard, the enumerator enumerates all premises that the household uses as one dwelling.
One dwelling house is marked by the enumerator in case when there is only one dwelling in the building or when the entire house is used as one dwelling.
Apartment is marked by the enumerator for a dwelling with one or more rooms in a house, block of flats or other type of building. A house that was built as the so-called "family" house can have more than one dwelling, but each dwelling must have a separate entrance. In this case the enumerator enumerates each dwelling as a floor dwelling. If a building has e.g. a ground floor and another floor and premises on the first floor have entrance from a hallway which leads from a premise on the ground floor (e.g. hallway, living room), this is one dwelling on two floors.
Bedsit is marked by the enumerator for a small dwelling with one room, a bathroom and a hallway, and with or without a small kitchen (less than 4 m2).
Separate room is marked by the enumerator for a dwelling with one room without a kitchen and a bathroom. It can have a hallway, a toilet or a larder, but the total useful floor space of these utility spaces must not exceed 6 m2.
Occupied room in a hotel, home, hospital (old people's home, student residence, etc.) is marked by the enumerator if at the time of the 2002 Census the room is occupied by a household that does not use the services of the institutional dwelling.
In this case the enumerator enters data for premises used ONLY by the enumerated household.
Occupied business premises is marked by the enumerator for premises that were not converted into a dwelling but were at the time of the 2002 Census used by the household as a dwelling (e.g. occupied shop, office, etc.).
In this case the enumerator enters data for premises used only by the enumerated household.
Provisionally occupied premises is marked by the enumerator for premises that are by the definition not dwellings or occupied rooms or business premises but were at the time of the 2002 Census used for dwelling (basement, attic, garage, hut, wagon, trailer, tent, etc.). The premise is enumerated only if occupied.
In this case the enumerator enters data for premises used ONLY by the enumerated household.
