Part V: Instructions on how to question and record information on the census form

Part 3: Information about housing
The DTV collects information about the housing situation of the household. Do not collect housing information for specific demographics.

Question 57: What is the main material that makes up the wall or shelter of this house/apartment?
The DTV asks questions in combination with observations to determine the correct information for Question 57.

The wall is one of the main structural elements that take on the function of covering, dividing up the spaces, and bearing the load on the ground of the house. This is also the element that helps to distinguish the space inside and outside the house, between one room and another. The wall also has a load-bearing function, supporting the weight, of the roof and conducting it to the foundation.

Wall materials are considered durable if they are made of reinforced concrete, brick/stone, timber, and metal.

Wall materials are considered temporary if they are made of lime soil/straw, bamboo screen/plywood, or other materials.

In case the household regularly lives in 2 or more houses on the same lot, the main wall or shelter material is taken from the main house.
