Column P05: Situation of residence
To grasp the situation of residence of members of the household, pose the following question:
"How long has [the respondent] lived in the household?"
- If [the respondent] has lived for 6 months or more in the household, [the respondent] is considered as a resident.
- If [the respondent] has lived in the household for less than 6 months, pose the following question:
"Does [the respondent] intend to stay at least six (6) months in the household?" If the response is yes, [the respondent] is considered as a resident. If not, they will be considered as a visitor (VIS).
For any resident member of the household, pose the following question to find out whether they are resident present (RP) or resident absent (RA).
"Did [the respondent] spend last night in the household?"
- If the response is yes, the person is considered as a resident present (RP).
- If the response is no, ask if they spent last night in the locality.
- If the response is yes, the person is considered as a resident present (RP).
- If the response is no, the person is considered as a resident absent (RA).
After having determined the situation of residence, circle the appropriate code corresponding to the situation of residence of the person surveyed. The modalities of response are:
1: Resident present (RP)
2: Resident absent (RA)
3: Visitor (VIS).
NB 14:
- A government official newly allocated to a locality will be counted as "resident".
- Night workers like watchmen, doctors, soldiers in units (operational detachment), and so on who have spent the night preceding your visit in their workplace will be counted as "residents present" in their household. At their workplace, they will not be counted.
- Women who have just joined their family home will be counted as resident even if they have been there for less than 6 months. They will not be counted in the household of their parents.
