Q.1. Type of physical structure

1. A physical building is a shelter that has walls, floor and roof, either fixed or temporary, whether used as a living quarters or not. If a building is not used as a living quarters, but the floor area of the building is at least 10 square meters, it is considered a physical building. If the building is not used as a living quarters, but is used for a business, then it is considered a physical building and given a number even if the floor area is fewer than 10 square meters.

[pg. 11]

There are three types of physical buildings:
a. Multiple attached buildings (see figures 1 and 2)

(i) Multi-story
(ii) Single story

b. Duplex/two attached buildings (see figures 3 and 4)

(i) Multi-story
(ii) Single story

c. Single buildings (see figures 5 and 6)

(i) Single story
(ii) Multi-story

[There are drawings of buildings as examples for each of the types described]

[pg. 12]

Kitchen, bathroom, garage and others that are detached from the main building are considered part of the building

1. Type of physical structure

[] 1 Single dwelling construction

[] 1 Multi-storied
[] 2 Single story

[] 2 Duplex construction
[] 3 Multi-dwelling construction

[] 1 Multi-storied
[] 2 Single story

Question 1: Type of physical building
Physical building is a fixed or temporary shelter that has a wall, floor and roof, and is either used for residence or not. A building not for residence is considered to be one physical building if its floor area is at least 10m wide. This width requirement is not applicable to residence buildings.

According to its type, physical buildings are differentiated into three categories:

a. Multiple dwellings building

i. Single story multiple dwellings building.
ii. Multi-story multiple dwellings building.

b. Duplex building

i. Single story duplex.
ii. Multi-story duplex.

c. Single dwelling building

i. Single story single dwelling building.
ii. Multi-story single dwelling building.

IV. Household information

404. Type of physical structure

6.4. Block IV. Household characteristics
This block is used to record the household characteristics, such as household income one year ago, type of physical building, status of residence ownership also other household facilities.

Question 404: Type of physical building
Based on its types, physical building is categorized into 3 types:

1. Single building

2. Duplex building


[p.42]

3. Multi building

2.4 Indicate the number of levels in the dwelling (excluding attic, cellar, garage and equivalent)

[] 0
[] 1
[] 2
[] 3 or more

Question 2.4
When counting levels do not include any house accessories (like cellars, garages and attics) and rooms with an independent entrance. However, intermediate levels and similar, built inside the dwelling, constitute a separate level and must be counted as such. The number of levels must not be confused with the number of floors for the building in which the dwelling is located. Place a cross in box 1 when the dwelling only spreads out horizontally; cross the other boxes when the dwelling reaches up vertically (as in the case of "tower" like dwellings that are typical in some historic centers, or dwellings where intermediate floors have been built.

2. Number of stories

Household Information

[2.4] No. of floor ____

Household information

2.4 Number of floors/stories of a house
Number of floors should be written by determining the number of floors of the house where the family is living in. The house with roof without any floor should be considered as single floor. If the top floor covers only same part of the roof, such floor should be counted and be added to the total number of floors.

4. Height of building (number of floors)

66 Height of building (number of floors) (Question IV) [p. 92]
1. The height of the building is specified by its number of floors. If various parts of the building have various heights, then the higher one shall be taken into account (if the front part has 3 floors and the back only 2, then the 3 number shall be provided). In the case of buildings located on the hill, the height shall be calculated from the slope side.
2. In buildings without basements, the floors are considered to be all the sets of spaces from the very bottom and in the case of buildings in basements from the first but one from the bottom.
3. Attics and ground floors are not considered factual floors.
Attic is frequently the part of the building directly covered with the roof. In the case of mountain houses, when there are two or more spaces covered by the roof, it may be difficult to state which of them are in fact floors. It shall be assumed that it at least half of all the floor is surrounded by walls from all four sides, then the set of rooms shall be considered a floor. Otherwise, it shall be considered an attic.

Characteristics of households

Fill for the building in which at least one dwelling was enumerated. Answers for questions 1-10 write in only once -- in a first enumerated dwelling. In the forms filled for other dwellings this part should be crossed.

5. Number of floors

Characteristics of a building

56 Number of floors (Question 5) [p. 48]
While answering this question, it should be specified whether it is an one-floor building, or it has more compartments.

If the building was specified to be one-floor building, that is it has only one compartment, 0 symbol should be specified.

While specifying type of building, cellars and basements shouldn't be considered.

If a building has more than one compartment, that is 2 or more of them, number of compartments should be specified (in the dotted field, not in the symbol field).

If different parts of building have different number of compartment, a part with bigger number of compartments should be specified.

Ceilings and attics are not considered as compartments.

In the case of a building constructed on a mountain slope, number of compartments should be defined measuring It from the slope's side.

Questions 25-29 are to be answered only if at least one conventional dwelling in the building

27. Number of floors of the building _ _

I11. Structure type

Section 1: Geographical identification

Question I11: Structure type: Enter the code for structure type (refer to the code list). For e.g. Single unit 1 storey is code '01'.

[Questions 2-11 are asked about buildings, not mobile accommodations.]

2. How many floors does this building have, including ground floor?

3.2 Basic statistics on buildings and dwellings

3.2.3 Basic output
The data from the Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings will be evaluated on an annual basis. For some indicators, the Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings will be combined with the population registers of the communes. It will be possible to evaluate data from the statistics on buildings and dwellings for different population groups. Evaluations will be possible at all geographic levels. Some housing supply evaluations and the analysis of the use of dwellings will only be possible once the introduction of the Federal Dwelling identifier in the population registers is completed.
