G. Housing conditions and ownership of properties
These questions are about tools used in house construction, services available in this household (such as water, toilets, electricity), the total number of bedrooms used by the household, and ownership of properties. The head of household is asked these questions. If the head of household is absent, try to get another member of the household to answer these questions on behalf of the head of household.
Usually, if a household is using more than one house, all questions about the material used to construct the house and the electricity used in the house are to be asked for the main house where most household members live.
For Census purposes, a house is a building used by people for living. Workshops or store, places where people do not live, are not involved.
Note: Questions about house are to be asked to private households only. For collective households such as schools, hostels, camps, hospitals, etc. these questions should not be asked because they are not relevant.
Ownership of properties
Question 37 enables us to know the properties owned and used in the household. As it is for other questions about the household, they will be answered by the head of household or anybody who will answer on behalf of head of household. For the properties listed, only one answer is needed: yes "1" or no "2". If the respondent tells you that he/she owns a certain property, ask if it works. If it has not been functioning for a long time, record as if [the head of household] did not have that property. The aim is to know the number of people [who own] the listed properties that function. Shade the codes according to the answer given by the respondent.
Question 37: Does your household have the following?
Radio
[] 1 Yes
[] 2 No
Note: Each of the above mentioned items must have one answer (yes or no). Ask if it is working. If it is with the technician, the answer is no.
