3, Equipment and size of the housing unit:
In points a) through e) of this question all present rooms and other equipment characteristics of the housing unit should be marked: a kitchenette or a shower stall are parts of another room, kitchen or bath room are individual rooms.
Flush toilets within the housing unit should also be marked if the toilet is found in the bathroom.
In point f) the number of living rooms should be entered. Considered as such are: living room, bedroom, child's room, guest room (for relatives, acquaintances) provided their floor space amounts to at least sq.m.
Not considered living rooms are: kitchens, combined kitchen/living rooms and other adjoining rooms (lobby, hallway, bathroom, storage room, pantry, closet, terrace, etc.).
Commercially used rooms and guest rooms that are never used for living purposes by the owner should not be included; however, rooms that are only used seasonally as guest rooms and for the rest of the year are used by the household should be included.

[p. 56]

Use of a house garden should only be indicated if the possibility to use a garden belonging directly to the house exists.
Garage space for private cars should be marked if a private car of the household is parked in an individual or community garage of the building or the residential complex.
Parking space for private cars should be marked if a parking space (outdoors) is reserved for this housing unit or if, in the case of single or two family homes, the property has a parking space. "Parking spaces" on public roads should not be included.

Enumerator guideline:
The subdivision in blocks serves the clarity: first adjoining rooms, then sanitary facilities and "external" quality characteristics. It is started with the adjoining rooms, so that these -because they were already entered - are not counted with the living rooms. Please pay attention to this and prompt a correction if necessary.

Purpose of the question:
The number and type of rooms is, next to the usable floor space, the most important information on housing unit size; this question together with the question on type of heating serves as the basic classification of housing units in Austria (categories of the Rent Act).
Despite all modernization efforts, some older housing units still do not conform to present quality requirements. A modernization with the goal of improving the providing of the population with good and affordable housing units, therefore, remains an important task of the federation, states and municipalities.

1. Location and facilities of the housing unit:
Explanation: If the rooms of a given housing unit are arranged one above the other on two or more floors, the floor on which the main entry door to the housing unit is located should be indicated.

A habitable attic is defined as all stories with (partially) inclined ceilings throughout (even those with semi-high exterior walls) regardless of whether the interior work was done when the building was initially built or subsequently.

In this question important rooms and other facilities of the housing unit should be indicated.

A kitchenette is part of another room.

[p. 56]

You should mark WC inside the housing unit even if it is located in the bathroom.

Inhabitable rooms are defined as living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries and "guest rooms" (for relatives, acquaintances). Not included in inhabitable rooms are: storage rooms, pantries, walk- in closets, verandas, etc.

Rooms used for commercial purposes and rooms rented out to tourists that are never used by the household for living purposes should not to be included here. Rooms that are rented to boarders only seasonally and used by the household the rest of the year should be included in this count.

Because the answer to the third section of this question affirms the housing unit category -- a very important statement about the housing unit -- the question is double verified by a "no" box row.

If central heating is present in a housing unit, but an individual stove (e.g. tiled stove) is used as the primary heating type (see question 3), "Central heating" should be marked in question 1.3. (In question 3 then, the actual primarily used type of heating will be specified.)
How many persons live in high rises or upper floors?

If an elevator is present in the building in a municipal area, housing quality increases with ascending height. If, on the other hand, no elevator is present, the housing quality strongly decreases with increasing number of stories - especially the higher the occupant's age. (With older buildings the presence of an elevator is saved from the 1991 census, or it comes from question 5 of the building data form, if an elevator was installed in the last 10 years.)

The question about the amenities, serves the basic classification of the housing units in Austria (Categories of the Tenancy Law).

Despite all modernization efforts, some older housing units still do not conform to present quality requirements. A renovation with the goal of providing as many sections of the population with good and affordable housing units, therefore, remains an important task of the federation, states and municipalities.

The number of rooms is, next to the usable floor space, the most important information on housing unit size. The presence of a room per person (e.g. separate nursery) is often considered desirable.

3. Water Supply

Verify whether the dwelling has water service provided through pipes that come from a public supply network or from a private facility.

In cases where the dwelling doesn't have pipes for their water supply, verify if the water is hauled in.

Mark the appropriate situation with an "X" in the corresponding box.

Whatever the system that provides the water supply to the dwelling, be it through pipes or hauled in, the origin must also be indicated, in other words, whether it comes from a public network of pipes, from a well or a water wheel (noria), or from some other source (spring, river, irrigation channel, etc.)

[p. 28]

A well or water wheel is a hole in the ground through which potable, subterranean water is collected. Mark an "X" in the corresponding box, depending on where the water used in the dwelling comes from.

Note that in all cases one box should be marked under the heading "The dwelling receives water" and another under the heading "The water comes from".

For example: in the case of a landlord's dwelling (casa patronal) in the middle of a rural area that has pipes for water service, with the water coming from a well, from which it is extracted by means of a pump. In this case, under the first heading box one will be checked, and under the second heading box two [will be checked].

In the case of a squatter settlement where the dwellings don't have pipes installed, but whose residents haul the water from a faucet or tap, or spout, fed by a pipe from a public network, under the first heading box two will be checked, and under the second heading box one [will be checked].

Box No. 6.- Water Source

Piped

Piped water service is understood as the supply of water by pipes from a public or private system, the water always arrives by means of pipes to the dwelling or that is carried from a pipe or other apparatus connected to the public or private system, that is found at a distance not greater than 100 meters from the Dwelling.

Mark with an "X" a box of each one of the following cases:

[Below the text is a graphic.]

According to whether the piped system to which the pipe is connected is public or private.

[p. 28]

[Below the text is a graphic.]

According to whether the pipe takes the water to the interior of the dwelling or not.

[Below the text is a graphic.]

According to whether the pipe supplies water only to the dwelling whose characteristics you are writing down (only for this dwelling), or that supplies it also to other dwellings (for this and other dwellings).

By other Means:

In the case of Dwellings that are supplied water by means of wells, rivers, ditches, etc. If the Dwelling takes water from a well located at a distance not greater than 100 meters, you should mark the respective box ("well"); if it is by other means, specify in the space "Other", writing down for example: river, ditch, gulley, etc.

Does not Have:

It is considered that a dwelling does not have water service, when the place from which it is taken (river, ditch, well, gulley, pipe, etc.) is at a distance greater than 100 meters from the dwelling.

In the case that a family that is being enumerated is not provided water from a pipe, well or other source to provide themselves with water, but they are permitted to take it from a neighboring Dwelling or from a school, local store, etc. it is considered that the Dwelling does not have water service.

Question 7: Water Supply

There exist many forms by which people are supplied water. In question 7 you can observe that in this page two principal types of supplying are mentioned: "Piped", and "By Other Means". As you know, in the country different types of piped systems exist for the supply of water to dwellings, but also with these piped systems, other traditional means, such as water from rivers, rain, which is channeled through a "public-source" (fuente pública), and wells with or without a pump.

[To the left of the text is a form.]

[p. 31]

Seven other possibilities of supplying water exist, two of them through means of pipes and five through other mechanisms or procedures. The piped system is connected to a "public system" or is part of a "private system", and in each one of these cases the inhabitants of the dwellings can receive the water only for service of their dwelling or they can receive it for their dwellings and other dwellings. You have to note one of these two possibilities when you investigate if the Dwelling receives water by pipes. If it is through this means, you have to find out if the pipe is part of a "public system" or a "private system". Finally you should indicate in each case in the pipe is "Only for this dwelling" or if it is "for this and other dwellings".

On the other hand, when the residents of a dwelling receive water through other means it is not specified if it is only for the dwelling or [not], because of not having interest in this detail. That is to say, it concerns:

  • A "Well with pump", when water is extracted from underground through the use of a pump. It is indicated when it is of exclusive use of an private dwelling.
  • A "Well without a pump", when water is extracted from underground through a bucket or recipient tied to the end of a rope. It is indicated when it is of exclusive use of the residents of an private dwelling.
  • A "River or stream", when the water used in the dwelling is obtained from a river or gully (initially obtained from a small hold made in the side of the river bed).
  • A "Public tap", when it is taken from a public place for use of a community, for example, a well (with or without pump), pipe from a public system, or a source that all the inhabitants of the community have access to.
  • "Rain" and other means, when the largest part of the water used is caught by any means of rainfall. Examples of this are tin pans connected to gutters of the roof, to catch rain water and the supply of water through cistern trucks.


Remember

You should mark with an "X" only one of the circles and only one response, since the alternatives that are shown in this case are mutually exclusive. If a dwelling has two or more sources (piped and well, etc.) write down the most used (principal) source as the only source.

{Mutually exclusive means that it is impossible that two or more simultaneous alternatives are given as a response.}

Question 10: Water supply

This question tries to identify if the water comes directly to the dwelling through means of a pipe of galvanized steel, plastic, bamboo, etc, without its origin being important.

Mark with "X" only one of the options.

[To the right of the text is a form.]

Pipe inside the dwelling: The water arrives within the dwelling by means of at least a tube or faucet, that is to say, it is not necessary to leave the dwelling, for water supply.

[Below the text is a picture of a sink.]

Pipe outside of the dwelling but within the lot or building: The water arrives through a pipe to the lot, property or building but not into the dwelling. It should be close to the tube or faucet in the interior of the dwelling.

[Below the text is a picture of a sink.]

Pipe outside the lot or building: The water goes to a tube or public faucet that is located away from the lot, property or building.

[Below the text is a picture of an outside faucet.]

Does not have piped water: The dwelling is supplied by other means (hauled from a well, river, rain, cistern truck, etc.).

[Below the text is a picture of a water truck.]

Parcel - property: site where the dwelling and the patio and garden areas that surround it are located.

Question 15. What is the principal source of water used to wash, scrub, shower, etc. in the household?
This question provides the identification of different sources of water used in households, which in turn helps to measure of the public service coverage and therefore, the importance of other sources of supply (such as well with a pump, well with no pump, river, etc. ). From this information we can estimate the proportion of households without access to a water system (hygienic or regular).
Read all the answer options and fill in the bubble with the corresponding code pertaining to the answer given by the informant.
If the household uses water from more than one source, record the most frequently used source.

Example: If the informant answers that the source of water comes from the water conduit inside of the house and from a neighbor's tap, ask what is the main source used and then record the option given as the correct answer.

In case that the water source is not included in any of the options from 1 to 9, fill in code 10, corresponding to "Other".

[] 3 Tap in compound, shared
[] 4 Outside compound, public tap
[] 5 Tap outside compound, shared
[] 6 Protected well or spring
[] 7 Unprotected well or spring
[] 8 River or lake/pond
Questionnaire instructions view entire document:  text  image
Column 55: Where does the house get water?

Residents in the house will be asked the source of water they sue for drinking and food preparation, and based on their response one of the options given below is identified and circled. The code selected will be entered in column 55 card column 47.

1 = Tap inside the house
2 = Tap in compound, private
3 = Tap in compound, shared
4 = Outside compound, public tap
5 = Tap outside compound, shared
6 = Protected well or spring
7 = Unprotected well or spring
8 = River or lake/pond

In order to clearly identify the sources of drinking water described by codes "6" or "7" it is necessary to carefully realize the definition of "Safe water" from "well, spring".

Methods of safekeeping well water and spring water are given below.

1. There must be a wall built with cement encircling the well or spring, i.e.
a. For a well: the wall has to be a minimum of at least 2 to 4 meters deep from the ground level and 70 centimeters high above the ground.
b. For a spring: its depth extends up until hard stone is at its base and a wall built above ground as high as necessary.
2. The wall surrounding the well or the spring needs to have a firm lid built from cement or other unyielding material.
3. There must be an outlet to divert the direction of flood to prevent the flood from flowing into the well or the spring.
4. The well or the spring must be at a distance of at least 25 to 30 meters from objects such as latrine that may infect the water.
5. If the source of infection such as the one pointed in 4) above is located at a higher level from the well or the spring then its distance must be further than indicated in 4) above.

If the household gets water from the above sources then it is said the household has access to safe water. In general it can be said that the water obtained from river or lake is unsafe water, except water from the pipe. This means that households using water from river, lake or pond are not using safe water. Pipe water is generally considered safe water.

Instructions for Filling the Population and Housing Census Questionnaires in Urban Areas

Two types of census questionnaires are prepared for urban areas: short and long questionnaires. The long questionnaire will be filled in for the selected sample households, for all hotels/hostels and for other collective quarters' inmates. It should be noticed again that the short questionnaire is to be filled in for the rest households (for unselected households). The instruction given below is to fill in the long questionnaire and this instruction is again used to the short questionnaire because questions included in the short questionnaire are parts and parcels of the long questionnaire. The questionnaire is filled in for residents of housing units coded as code 1, 2, 3 or 4 is entered in column 11. Note that, only short questionnaire will be administered for homeless peoples.

Section 4: Detail Information on Housing Units
General Instruction

In this section information on urban housing units are collected.
The enumerator should closely consider the following points before collecting data about housing units.

1. Information on the housing units is collected if and only if the housing unit is used for residential purpose, be it for residence only or for residence and enterprise purposes on the date of enumeration.
2. If the housing unit is used only for enterprise purpose at the time of the census the information will not be collected.
3. In this section, all possible answers are coded and first circle the right code of the answer and then enter the code in the given card column.
4. If there is a radio and television in the housing unit we record it but if it is out of order the household does not have the intention to maintain it again we consider as there is no radio or television in the housing unit.
5. While collecting information regarding the materials with which the wall, roof, ceiling and floor are made, the enumerator should also include his own observation to improve the quality of the data.
6. The enumerator is supposed to have a good understanding of the definitions of terms such as room, ceiling, protected well/spring, etc. and he should explain to the respondent, on such terms so that the can get the correct answer to the questions.
7. If there more than 10 members in the household and forced to use an additional questionnaire, the housing unit information is collected on the last page of the questionnaire and make "-" on housing section of the other questionnaires.
8. If two or more households are found in a single housing unit, information about the housing unit is collected only once. In other words if two households are found in one housing unit, information regarding the housing unit is collected by asking one of the households only. However, the housing unit will be considered as having a certain amenity, if one of the household reports them.
9. For collective quarters, for hotel/hostel residents housing data will not be collected. To indicate that housing information will not be collected, make "-" in the all columns. The enumerator should however, remember that housing information will be collected for the regular households residing in collective quarters, hotel/hostel, etc.
Column 52: What is the main source of drinking water for the members of this housing unit?

The purpose of this question is to know the major source from which the household gets its drinking water. If the sources are more than one, the enumerator should further ask the respondent to identify the main one and he should circle and enter in the card column the correct code among the possible alternatives given below.

1 = Tap inside the house
2 = Tap in compounded, private
3 = Tap in compounded, shared
4 = Tap outside the compound (from private tap, from public tap or other organizations paid or for free)
5 = Protected well or spring
6 = Unprotected well or spring
7 = River/lake/ pond.

N.B: We call a well/spring protected if it satisfies the following.
Pg 112

1. Its surrounding should be properly built by stone and cement
a. If it is a well the building should be at least 2 - 4 meters deep in the ground and about 70 cm above the ground level.
b. If it is a spring the building should go deeper until a rock or a strong soil as found to serve as the base of the building and the height of the building above the ground level can vary depending on the situations. It should however have an outlet pipe on one side of the building.

2. The well/ spring must have a cover which is made of cement or any other strong material.
3. There should be a properly made diversion to protect the will/ spring from any water flowing to wards it.
3. The distance mentioned above should be by far larger if such contaminating facilities are stalked in higher position reliance to the well/spring.

Thus, if the household gets its drinking water from well/spring satisfying the above points, the enumerator shall circle code 5. Unless it is tap water, any water fetched from rivers or lakes is generally considers as unprotected and code 6 is circled. If the household is using tap water as the source of drinking water, the enumerator should ask the respondents as to where the tap is located and he circle the appropriate answer from the given 4 alternatives. The enumerator should note that the water may be fetched from the source by using human labor or other means.

01. Pipe-borne into dwelling - This category includes water piped into the living quarters/house through an inside plumbing system.

02. Pipe-borne outside dwelling - Households that use water from a standpipe outside the compound or dwelling must be classified in this category.

03. Public tap/standpipe - This category refers to a public water point from which people can collect water. Public tap or standpipe can have one or more taps and are typically made of brickwork, masonry or concrete.

04. Bore-hole / pump / tube well - This category refers to hand dug or drilled well with pump. It also includes deep holes driven, bored or drilled, with the purpose of reaching groundwater supplies.

05. Protected well - This category refers to a hole sunk deep into the earth to reach the water table where water is collected. Protected wells are usually covered with a wooden, concrete or metal slab so that bird droppings and animals cannot fall into the well.

06. Rain water - This category refers to rainwater water collected during rainfall into a container for use.

07. Protected spring water - Spring is where water gushes out from underground water sources or flows down slopes along rock or cliff surfaces with a wall constructed (cement or similar) around it to regulate access to and protect the source.

08. Bottled water - This refers to water which is bottled and sold.

09. Sachet water - This refers water which is put into small sealed plastic bags and sold.

10. Tanker supply / vendor-provided - This category refers to water supplied by tankers.

11. Unprotected well - This is a hole sunk deep into the earth to reach the water table where water is collected. Note that these wells are not covered with anything, thus not protected from dirt.

12. Unprotected spring water - Spring is where water gushes out from underground water sources or flows down slopes along rock or cliff surfaces. Note that in this category no wall is constructed around it and access to the source is not regulated.

13. River / stream - This refers to water flowing from its source downstream towards a specific direction.

14. Dugout / pond / lake / dam / canal - This category refers to a surface area dug for collection of rain water or hole in the ground with water or a large sheet of water with land all round it or wall / bank built to keep back the water.

15. Other (specify) - Any other sources of water not specified under 1-14.

Questions 2-9 should not be completed for irregular dwellings.


58. Question 6, Water supply

[Omitted, question 6 is repeated]

The question refers to the household's drinking water, regardless of its quality.

[p. 25]

Record one, and only one, answer, even if the respondents declare that "they do not have drinking water.".

The hydraulic installation (pipes and tap) must be permanent and connected to a water supply network.

A public water supply network is inspected and controlled by a department of public services.

Any other (non-public) water supply network should be classified as private.

The drinking water supply is considered to be inside the dwelling when the tap is in an interior space (e.g., in the kitchen, in another room, in a corridor, etc.) of the dwelling, not in communal space or open space in the building or in the courtyard or inside another housing unit in the building.

If the tap is outside the dwelling but inside the building (i.e., in communal space, in the courtyard, or on the building site), select response 3 or 4.

Select response 5 if the tap is on the pavement, in a public square, or otherwise away from the building.

Response 5 includes any other means of supplying water, such as.:

a) Well or spring, regardless of whether the household owns it;
b) River, rivulet or lake, without a network;
c) Cistern, collecting rainfall;
d) Cask, regardless of the original water source, etc.

VII. Services and amenities of the dwelling

In this section, we investigate the existence and characteristics of some of the services that should be in every dwelling, such as water, drains, lighting, etc.

a) Water:
In this part of the form, we want to obtain necessary information to know the way in which the occupants of the dwelling are supplied with water; this knowledge is a great importance for the municipalities, sanitary authorities, and other offices and institutions, for the development of water supply systems to the populated areas.

Delivery system: The first information to be collected refers to whether or not the dwelling is supplied with water that is delivered through pipes that belong to a municipal or public system, or an individual system (pressurized deposit, pumps, etc.). The pipes can enter the dwelling for direct supply to the inhabitants or can end outside the dwelling, in a fountain or public faucet.

It is considered that the dwelling has "running water" if the occupants are supplied with water through pipes installed in the dwelling or from faucets or fountain, water deposits or water tanks, supplied by pipelines and that are not at a distance of more than one block from the dwelling.

[p. 27]

It is considered that the dwelling "has no running water" when the occupants get their water supply directly from a river, spring, natural spring, well, irrigation ditch, etc., which means that there is no pipeline. Likewise, will be include in the same category those dwellings that are supplied through a public network (water tank, faucet, water deposit, etc.) when the point from where they obtain water is more than one block from the dwelling. Will be included in this category those dwellings that have barrels or deposits that are filled with buckets, which means that the occupants carry the water to fill them.

[p. 27]

Likewise, will be include in the same category those dwellings that are supplied through a public network (water tank, faucet, water deposit, etc.) when the point from where they obtain water is more than one block from the dwelling. Will be included in this category those dwellings that have barrels or deposits that are filled with buckets, which means that the occupants carry the water to fill them.

The second aspect to investigate in this section is the location of the running water; the question on line 23 is asked only to the dwellings that had informed that they have "running water." Therefore, if the dwelling has "running water", you should try to clarify the source of the water. If the pipe that deliver water is installed inside the dwelling, you will mark the first small box. In the buildings where there are various dwelling units, there is sometimes a common supply for all of the units (e.g.: water tank in the central patio), but always within the boundaries of the building. In these cases, you will mark the second small box that says "outside the dwelling, but in the building." Finally, in the cases in which the supply is at a public water tank or faucet, situated at less than one block from the dwelling, you will mark the third small box, which says "outside the building, but less than one block away."

III. Living situation of household number

The questions included in this part of the form should be investigated for each of the households that are residing in the dwelling at the time of the Census.

The following specific instructions will allow the enumerator to carry out the work more efficiently.


Question 1: water supply

1. How to formulate the question

What type of water service does this household have access to?

The following definitions are taken into account: "1. Exclusive use running water" is the water service inside the dwelling used by only one household.

[p. 42]

When the household has running water that is shared between two or more households, the enumerator will circle the number "2. running water for multiple households". The service "3. public running water (outside of the dwelling)", should be circled when the household has access to running water that comes from a public source, installed for the community's use. If the household stores water from a well, river, lake, or spring; the numbers 4 or 5 are circled according to the case. The number "6. other" is circled for households that store water in another form, other the 5 cases explained above; e.g. rain water, water purchased from another household, water purchased from a tanker truck, etc.

2. How to record the data

H02. Water supply
The fight against poverty in our country often takes the form of increasing the percentage of the population with access to potable water. In this situation, determining the means by which households obtain water is very important information for public authorities.

Here it is a question of indicating the kind (nature) of the water normally used by the households for their drinking and other household uses (dishes, cooking, laundry, bodily care, etc.).

There are 7 possible responses, the first 6 of which are very explicit: "faucet at home" (in the lodging or in the compound) and "faucet elsewhere" (outside the compound) are 2 cases that refer to running water distributed by the Guinea Water Company. "Drilling" and "developed wells" are 2 intermediate situations which fall within the framework of the village hydraulics [plan] completed by the National Service for the Development of Water Supply Points (service national d'aménagement des points d'eau), or of NGOs, and managed by the rural populations themselves. "Ordinary well" is without doubt the oldest situation, used by populations in rural zones as well as in some urban zones and zones peripheral to urban areas. "Surface water" (rivers, creeks, lakes, ponds, pools, etc.) constitute another relatively old situation used by populations to cover their water supply needs. Ask the head of household or his representative the following question: "What is the source of the water which fulfills your household's water needs in the home?"

[p. 57]

Circle the number of the code which corresponds to the answer you receive. The head of household should give only one answer. If the household's water supply comes from several different sources at once, ask the head of household to tell you which one he believes is used most often.

Cell number 6: Water service
This question is designed to find out whether or not the dwelling receives water through plumbing inside the dwelling, outside of the dwelling, or if it simply does not receive water through pipes.

Piped water inside the dwelling: the dwelling has piped water inside the dwelling [indoor plumbing] when there are one or more faucets inside the construction; i.e. there is at least a faucet in the kitchen; but not when the only faucet available is found in the patio of the house.

When there is piped water inside the dwelling, box number 1 is marked if it comes from the public system; that is, when the water supply and installation of pipes has been supplied by the local, state, or both authorities.

Box number 2 is marked if water comes from a private system; that is, if the installation comes from a person, a group of persons, or a private company that charges the public for the service without intervention of the authorities.

A person who has a personal well, from which water is drawn via pipes into the dwelling, is considered to receive water from a private service, and mark box number 2.

Piped water outside of the Dwelling: The dwelling has piped water outside of the dwelling when the piped water does not reach inside the dwelling; rather it reaches the patio, building, or water is simply taken from a public faucet.

[p. 14]

The public faucet should not be more than 200 meters from the dwelling. If the faucet is closer than 200 meters then box number 3 is marked with an "X", if the faucet is farther away than 200 meters, box number 4 (does not have [piped water]) is marked.

Does not have [piped water]: when the water used in the dwelling does not come from a pipe but is obtained from a well, spring, river, etcetera, box number 4 is marked.

Question 9: Water supply of dwelling?

A dwelling supplied with piped water from community scheme is one in which water supply is obtained through a tap connected to a community water-conduit. The answer should indicate whether the tap is:
in the dwelling,
in the building,
on the parcel of the house,
outside the parcel of the house.

A dwelling is supplied with piped water from a private source if the water pipe leads the water of the well, which is generally on the ground-plot, courtyard belonging to the building, to the tap in the dwelling.

The dwelling is supplied from a well on its parcel if there is no tap water in the building but there a (dig or drilled) well or a cistern in the yard supplies the water.

If a dwelling is supplied with water from several sources the most convenient should be marked!

Question 13 and 15: Source of drinking water and water for bathing/washing
The information collected here is the source of the water. If a household gets its water from a spring, but the water is channeled into the house, then the water source is a spring.

  • "Piped water" is water from a drinking water company (either private sector or government) including water that is obtained from an electric/diesel pump.
  • "Pumped water" is water obtained from the source using a hand pump.


[pg. 49]

  • "Well" is the type of water source where the water is obtained by using a bucket or pail.
  • "Spring" is water that comes out from the earth by itself.
  • "River" is water that comes from a river.
  • "Rainwater" is water that is collected into some type of container while it is raining.
  • "Other" is any source of water that cannot be categorized into any the sources given above, such as water from a lake/dam.


The way to ask this question is:
"Where do you obtain your water for drinking and water for bathing/washing for the daily needs of this household?"

If the answer to Q.13 is code 2 or 3, continue to Q.14. For all other codes, skip Q.14 and go to Q.15.

Question 14: If pumped water or well is the source of water for the household, ask the distance from the well to the closest sewage disposal.

Fill in the distance in meters in whole numbers. "Distance" is the shortest distance from the water source to the place for the sewage disposal, regardless of whether that sewage disposal place is owned by the household or is the property of others.

Question 522: Main source of drinking water
Ask the main source of drinking water that the respondent's household uses. If there are several sources of drinking water, ask which source the household uses most. If the source of drinking water depends on the season, record the most recently used source. If a household gets its drinking water from a single source and it is piped into the house, then record that source.
"Piped water" is water from a source that has been filtered and purified at the drinking water reservoir such as from a drinking water company, either private sector or government.

"Protected well" is ground water that is drawn by bucket or ladle; the well is protected by a brick wall and a surrounding platform so that water from outside sources cannot seep into the well. Water that is pumped out of the well either by hand or by electric/diesel pump is considered a protected well.

"Unprotected well" is a source of ground water that can be drawn by ladle or bucket that does not have a concrete wall; it is possible that water that has been used outside the well can seep back into the well.

"Spring water" is a source of water on top of the ground which springs out by itself. It is classified as protected (code 04) if the spring is protected from water used for bathing, washing, and other purposes.

[p. 88]

"River water" is water that is taken from a river.

"Lake or dam water" is water that is taken from a lake or dam.

"Rain water" is water that is collected into containers during rain falls.

"Bottled water" is water that has been bottled commercially such as Aqua, Vit, Airess, MQ, refilled water, and others.

"Others" are any sources of drinking water that cannot be classified into the above categories, such as sea water, and pool/pond water.


Drinking water from piped water, protected and unprotected wells includes those that are located inside the house, outside the house and in public places. Circle the appropriate code for source of drinking water in Q 522. If the drinking water is purchased, then ask the source of the water.

Question 405: Main Source of Drinking Water
Ask the main source of drinking water used by the household. Select one of the response codes in accordance with the respondent's answer.
It is important to remember that it is the source that is asked here. Thus, if a respondent's household gets its water from a well/spring that is channeled to the house, then the water source is well/spring. If a respondent uses water that comes from various sources, then select the source that provides the greatest volume of the water used by the household.
Source of Drinking Water
1. Bottled water is water produced and distributed by a company in bottles (500 ml, 600 ml, 1 liter, 12 liter or 19 liter) and glasses/cups; some of the brand names of these bottled waters are: Aqua, VIT, Airess, Moya, 2 Tang, MQ, and includes refilled drinking water bottles.
2. Water piped inside the house is water treated and purified before being sent to the consumer's house via water pipes. Some of the sources are The Drinking Water Company (Perusahaan Air Minum or PAM), the Local Drinking Water Company, or the Drinking Water Production Board managed either by the government or privately.
3. Piped water outside the house purchased at retail is water treated and purified before being sent to the consumer via water piped to a public/specified place. A household which obtains its water in this way whether they purchase it or not are included in this category.
4. Pump is ground water that is obtained using a manual pump, electric pump, or windmill, including artesian wells (sumur pantek).

[p. 157]
5. Wells are dug into the ground to find the water that is there. A bucket or dipper with a handle is used to obtain the water with or without a pulley. Well water is divided into 2 categories, they are, protected water well and non protected water well.

Protected water well (code 5) is water which comes from the ground where the outer perimeter of the well is protected by a wall at least .8 meters above the ground and 3 meters below the ground and there is a cement floor surrounding the opening of the well with a radius of at least 1 meter.

6. Unprotected Well (code 6) is water which comes from the ground where the outer perimeter of the well is not protected by a wall and does not have cement floor surrounding the opening of the well with a radius of at least 1 meter.
7. Spring is a source of ground water where the water comes to the surface by itself.

Protected spring (code 7) is one which is protected from dirty water used for bathing, washing, etc.

8. Unprotected spring (code 8) is one which is not protected from dirty water used for bathing, washing, etc.
9. River water is water which comes from a river.
10. Rain water is water that is collected when it is raining.
11. Other is any type of water source which is not included in the categories given above, such as water from basin/lake, sea water, and water from a pool.

Explanation:
[p. 158]
1. A household whose drinking water comes from a seller who goes from house to house is considered water outside the house purchased at retail.
2. A household whose drinking water comes from a spring or collected rain water but comes into the house through a pipe/plumbing without purifying it first, is still considered to have a spring or rain water as its source of drinking water.
3. A household whose drinking water comes from rain water during the rainy season and purchases water during the dry season is categorized based on which source provided the most drinking water during the past month.
4. A household which obtains it drinking water through refills is considered to have bottled water as its source of drinking water.
5. If a household uses a protected well as its source of drinking water, however, to bring up the water it uses a pump (either manual or electric), the source of drinking water for this household is protected well.
6. The source of piped drinking water which comes either from a protected or unprotected well depends on whether the pipes are inside the house, outside the house or in a public place.

Section 8 - Housing

5.68 General
The information in this section relates to the building or part of the building used for living purposes. The information is to be recorded on the questionnaire for the Head of the Household only, and the required information must be given with respect to the entire household; no information on this topic is to be entered on the questionnaires for other members of the household.
Because the information is being sought from each household, this means that in some cases there will be different sets of replies with respect to the same building. The relevant instructions for non-private dwellings are given in Part 6.


5.71 Question 41 - Water Supply

[Image omitted here]

You are required here to mark the main source of domestic water supply for the household. This means that in those cases where the household members obtain water from more than one source, you must determine from the respondent which is the main source, and score this one only on the questionnaire.
In general, give precedence to the source for cooking and drinking over the source for bathing, washing and other uses. Where water from different sources is used for the same purposes, find out from the respondent which is the main source, that is, the one from which they get most water for this use, and record this source only.

177. Columns H14 through H17 seek information on the type of facilities that are available to the household.

178. In column H14, ask 'what is the main source of water?' You are required to code the main source of water. This is the source from which the household draws most of its water. For example, if during the wet season the household draws water from a tank, but then the longer part of the year draws from a river, code '4' (river) as the main source of water.

179. The main sources of water listed are:

(a) Pond - a small area of still water. Usually this water collects after rain or through an underground drainage.

(b) Dam - a reservoir formed by building a barrier across a river to hold backwater and control its flow. Such dams are typically built in dry areas of Kenya.

(c) Lake - usually bigger than a pond but has water collecting in it through, rain, rivers, etc. It is different from a dam in that it is not man-made.

(d) Well - a man-made shaft dug in the ground from which water is obtained. Water is drawn using buckets.

(e) Borehole - similar to a well, only deeper. Generally a pump draws the water into a tank or bucket.

1.8 Water in a pipe

The purpose of this question is to find out the availability of water in a pipe provided from a public system, whether or not it is from the government, the community or from an account from a private company.

[p. 69]

Supply network of water is an instillation of pipes that is planned and built for supplying water to dwellings, buildings and schools, among others. It can be administered by the entity, municipality, community or a private company. It is not necessarily an underground instillation at the base of pipes; it can be above land, the type of material not being important.

This question has four answer options, with the first three dwellings having the service and with the last, those that do not have it, the options are the following:

[graphic of the question from the census form]

Within the dwelling?

It is considered that water from a pipe comes from inside the dwelling, if it has at least a faucet in the inside of one of its rooms. This criterion is expressed only and exclusively when the informant has doubts.

Away from the dwelling, but within the plot of land?

When the faucet only is in the piece of land, in the garage or in the patio, a dwelling has water in a pipe away from it, but within the plot of land.

If the water comes from a private well and has an instillation of pipes planned and built to supply water to the interior of the dwelling or the plot of land, consider that the occupants do have water in a pipe, whether it is inside the dwelling or outside of it, but inside the plot of land.

From a public faucet or hydrant?

The occupants have water from a public faucet or hydrant when they get it from an irrigation channel of public use.

Does not have water in a pipe?

In the cases in which a dwelling has an instillation of pipes for water supply, but it has never worked, consider that it does not have water from a pipe. Also, [p. 70] when the water is obtained from the house of a neighbor, register that the occupants of the dwelling do not have water in a pipe.

12. Piped water
This question identifies whether the dwelling has faucets or hoses where occupants obtain water, either inside the dwelling or only in the yard or land, regardless of the place of origin of the liquid. Read the question mentioning all options and circle the code corresponding to the respondent's answer.

[Figures are omitted]

Consider that pipped water can be identified in facilities as restrooms, sinks, showers, or simply if a faucet or hose where the occupants get water. The first option, "inside the dwelling", means that the faucets or hoses are located in an enclosed space of the dwelling, the kitchen or the bathroom, either in a sink, shower or in the water tank of the restroom' bowl. When the faucets or hoses reach only the yard or land, they are seen in an open space and are located alone or in a sink or basin. If the occupants take water from another house with a hose as shown in the image, we consider that they have piped water, either inside or outside and it depends how far reach the hoses. Also, if outside the dwelling there is a well from which the liquid is extracted and sent through pipes or hoses to other dwelling' facilities (as shown in the picture), record that the house has piped water inside the dwelling.

[Figures are omitted]

The option "there is no piped water" must be circle when there are no pipes or hoses in the dwelling, yard, or land, where water can be obtained, and consequently, the occupants have to carry it or get it in another way. If the answer corresponds for the latter situation, ask the question 14 "Not piped-in water", but if you record the option "inside the dwelling" or "only in the yard or land," please go to question 13 "Water supply".

The question identifies whether the housing unit has faucets or hoses where the residents obtain water, either indoors or only in the yard or lot, regardless of where the liquid comes from.

Read the question mentioning all the options and select the code that corresponds to the respondent's answer.

Consider that piped water can be identified in facilities such as toilets, sinks, and showers or simply if there is a faucet or hose from which the residents obtain water.

[Figure omitted: image with text] 

[p. 238]

The first option, inside the housing unit, means that the faucets or hoses are located inside the housing unit, in the kitchen or the bathroom, either in a sink, washbasin, shower, or in the water tank of some toilet bowls.

[Image omitted]

When faucets or hoses are only in the yard or lot, they are seen in an open space and are located alone or in a sink or basin.

[Figure omitted]

If the residents take water from another housing unit with a hose, as shown in the image, they are considered to have piped water, either inside or outside, depending on how far the hoses reach, which is normally where people use the water.

[p. 239]

[Figure omitted]

Also, if there is a well from which the liquid is extracted and sent through pipes or hoses to other installations in the house, as illustrated in the image, register that the house has faucets or hoses inside.

[Figure omitted]

The option which does not have piped water should be registered when there are no pipes or hoses in the housing unit, or in its yard or land, from which water can be obtained and, consequently, the residents have to carry it or obtain it in some other way.

If the answer corresponds to the latter situation, question 14. Unpiped water applies, but if you register the option inside the housing unit or only in the yard or lot, skip to question 13. Water supply.

Question 3: what is the main source of drinking water of the family?

[] 1 Tap / piped
[] 2 Tube well/ hand pump
[] 3 Covered well / kuwa
[] 4 Uncovered well / kuwa
[] 5 Spout water
[] 6 River / stream
[] 7 Other

Family's source of drinking water means the place or source from where the family fetch/brings water for the purpose of cooking and drinking. Source of drinking water differs in places and they also differs as per the weather change. While specifying the source, the much used source for drinking water should be specified.

[p. 27]

Some of the main drinking water sources are tap, well, kuwa, and tube well. In this question, we are looking to know the water sources that people are using for drinking or cooking food. We are not looking to know the water sources that are in use for livestock, washing, cleaning, irrigation, and other purpose. Therefore, the sources of water that are in use for other purposes should not be specified here.

The sources of water that people are using for drinking or cooking purpose can be of following types:

1. Tap / piped - If the family are using the water sources that comes from the tap/ pipe (metal or polythene), which are distributed with collection and purification either by private or public sector or from both, establishing a distribution system, then circle the reference one to specify the tap/piped source.

2. Tube well / hand pump - If the family is using underground water by pumping through tube well/roar or hand plumb, jet pump, then circle the reference 2 to specify such drinking water sources.

In some places, even people are using motor to pump the ground water to the reserve tank and link it to the tap / pipe. Such use of water should not be considered as tap/ piped, but from tube well/ pump and should make circle in reference 2.

3. Covered well / kuwa - If the family mostly is using drinking water from covered well / kuwa, circle the reference 3. It is believed that the water contained in covered well is comparatively better than the uncovered well.

4. Uncovered well / kuwa - If the family mostly is using drinking water from uncovered well / kuwa, circle the reference 4.

Nowadays, people are using tap/ piped water for cleaning and washing and bring jar water for the purpose of drinking. The purpose of this question is to identify the main source of drinking water. Therefore, if the people are using tap/ piped water other than drinking purpose or for only cleaning and washing in household use and they use jar water for drinking, then reference 7 "others" should be marked with circle.

5. Spout water - If the family fetches the drinking water primarily from spout water (or Pandhero), circle the reference 5.

6. River/stream - If the family fetches the drinking or cooking water mostly from a river, canal, stream etc., circle the reference 6.

7. Others - Besides the source stated above, if the family fetch the drinking or cooking water from other sources such as pond, tanker or jar/bottle, circle the reference 7 and specify the source.

Question 5 Drinking water:

Mark box 1 when the water that the occupants of the dwelling drink comes from a public aqueduct, that is, an aqueduct that serves the community or a large part of it. To mark box 1, take into consideration the following:
a) There are dwellings that do not have interior installation of aqueduct pipes, but their inhabitants get the water from a water pump (faucet) installed outside of the dwelling. Consequently, you should always mark box 1 if the occupants of the dwelling drink water from the public aqueduct, it does not matter where they have to look for it.

[To the right of the text is box one, with a picture of a public water tower below it.]

[p. 27]

b) In cities and villages with a public aqueduct, there are dwellings, especially on the outskirts, whose occupants do not drink water from the public aqueduct. Because of this, in case of doubt you should ask the question.

Mark box 2 when the water that the occupants of the dwelling drink comes from a deep well, public well or private well fit with a pump to extract the water. To mark box 2, take into consideration the following:
a) The pump can be manual (artesian well) or motorized.


[Under the text are 3 pictures: a deep well, a public well and a private well to the right of box 2.]

b) The well can be public (for example, an artesian well installed in the public square) or can be private.
c) The water coming from the well can be distributed in the house through a system of pipes or simply collected and transported in containers.

Mark box 3 when the water that the occupants of the dwelling drink is neither obtained from a public aqueduct nor from a deep well with a pump. [p.28] Box 3 will be marked in the cases of uncovered springs (brocal) or when the water to drink is taken directly from a river, gulch, and natural pool, or when it is rain water.

H3 Main Source of Drinking Water

The information on main source of drinking water provides the number of households with ready access to a potable water supply, as well as the availability of piped water for each housing unit. The provision of a piped water installation for every housing unit should be one of the primary objectives of housing policy as well as of public health policy.

Enter in the box the appropriate code for the household's main source of drinking water. If there are two or more sources of water for drinking, report the source used most of the time during the past twelve months.

The different sources of drinking water and their codes are as follows:

1 Own use, faucet, community water system - The household gets its water supply from a faucet inside the house/yard directly connected to a water pipeline from the community water system such as the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) or the local water network system. The method on how they purify the water or the real source of water is irrelevant. Thus, for water systems which have deep well as their source of water, report under this category as long as they subscribe to community water system.

2 Shared, faucet, community water system - The household gets its water supply from the faucet of another household, establishment, or office, which is connected to the community water system.

3 Own use, tubed/piped deep well - Water is taken from a tubed/piped well which is at least 100 feet (5 pcs. of 2 0 ft. pipes) or 30 meters deep and for private use of the household or households in the same building or compound.

4 Shared, tubed/piped deep well - Water is taken from a deep well, which is at least 100 ft. or 30 meters deep of another household, establishment, or office or from a deep well which was constructed for public use.

5 Tubed/ piped shallow well - Water is taken from a tubed/piped well which is less than 100 feet deep.

6 Dug well - The household gets its water supply from a well which may be provided with a protective device against contamination or pollution. A shallow well (dug and with water depository) which is provided with a pump and cover and is free from seepage from the side, and an ordinary dug well ("balon") also belong to this type.

7 Spring, lake, river, rain, etc.- The household gets its water supply from natural bodies of water, or water is accumulated from rainfall.

8 Peddler - The household does not directly get its water supply from any of the sources mentioned above. Included in this item are bottled water like mineral water, water bought in drums, pails, etc. (peddler). These are the usual sources of water supply of households in low water pressure areas with no community water system.

4. Local water supply system shall be understood as a system supplying water to one or more buildings located in a close vicinity where the length of pipes does not exceed 250 m. Local systems are sometimes called individual systems or, in rural areas agricultural ones.
Local systems may be owned by one or more lodgers, as well as may be managed by organized agricultural units, production associations, factories, etc.
5. In some mountain areas, there are gravitational water supply systems. If such a system is taken advantage of in order to provide running water to at least 5 buildings and the overall length of the installation exceeds 250 m, such a system may be considered a proper water supply one. In all other cases, it shall be classified as a local system.
6. If there is no water supply system within the dwelling and the inhabitants do not use the system installed inside the house, then the 0 symbol shall be encircled.
In some cases, the inhabitants of a given building may have access to running water, but in order to do so, it is necessary to leave the building. In such an instance, the 0 shall be encircled as well.

While specifying answers for questions concerning installations, the enumerator should follow the same rules as while specifying technical appliances in a dwelling ( 16 point 1), that is:
- Working installations should be specified, as well as those, which are temporarily out of order and installations, which are installed, but haven't been connected to the network yet.
- Installation, which is out of order for longer than a year, shouldn't be registered:

16. Technical appliances in the dwelling (Questions 6-10) [p.19]
Both working and broken technical appliances should be indicated. What is more, all appliances, which are in possession of inhabitants, but haven't been plugged in yet, should also be indicated (for example in a newly constructed building). However, appliances which are broken for longer than a year shouldn't be registered at all. For informational purposes -- piped water and flush toilet should be taken into consideration as plugged in and local appliances.

Piped water
A dwelling equipped with a pipeline is defined as a dwelling having a tap with running water in possession.

General information [p. 57]

1. Information about the building should be determined only in case of buildings housing more than one dwelling. In case there are two or more enumerated dwellings in the building, indicate information about the building only in the first enumerated dwelling.

2. Information about the buildings housing the dwellings which are managed by legal persons and organizational units without legal personality will be given by the administrative authorities of these buildings.

This information will be given before the census on auxiliary forms, Characteristics of building or they will be directly given to the enumerators, which will contact the administrative authorities in the day of conducting the census.
The forms with Characteristics of Building, after they have been used, should be returned to the enumeration office with the whole set of enumeration materials.

3. Information about the individual buildings owned by private persons i.e. about single-family houses and the so-called small dwelling-houses should be determined by the enumerator during the census and be directly filled-in to the Questionnaire A.

Question 4 and 5. Is there water-pipe and sewage in this building? [p. 60]

1. Indicate systems currently working as well as the ones out of work and these which have actually been installed in the building, but the building has not yet been connected to the mains. Do not include installations out of order for longer than a year.

2. Water-pipe. A building equipped with a water-pipe is a building, where the water mains is delivered to all or some dwellings in the building, as well as where no dwelling has a tap with running water but there is a tap e.g. in the corridor.
The criterion of describing the water-pipe as a net work type or as a local system, is the length of distributing drains delivering the water from the source (of the water intake) to the buildings. A net work is a system of street drains at least 250 m long, not including the length of connections from the street drain to the buildings.
3. Sewage. A building equipped with sewage is building inside which -- in dwellings or corridor - there is a system to which the following appliances are connected: washbasin, toilet, sink, bathtub enabling draining the sewage/waste to the receiving water.
The criterion of qualifying the sewage as net work or as a local system (mostly cesspool) is the length of covered sewers -- underground (street sewers and collecting pipes) draining the sewage from the buildings to receiving water (sewage treatments plant, rivers, lakes and the sea). If the total of these channels (not including the length of additional sewers leading to the buildings) is at least 250 m long it is perceived as a net work. It can be an all navigable sewerage network draining industrial waste and rainwater or it can only be a network for industrial waste.

[Questions 1-13 were asked in cases of a housing unit or a collective living quarter, except hotels or similar and institutions of "other type," that is occupied as a usual residence or for seasonal use, per questions A, B]


Question 3 - Water

As for piped water from a public network, we understand the water that is supplied to the community in exchange for payment calculated according to the measured use device.

As for piped water from a private network, we understand the water that is propriety of private individuals and it is exempted from public authorities' ruling.

Important: When a dwelling has water in the yard, the kitchen, or the bathroom we must considered it as having water available within the housing unit.

However, if the dwelling has water in the yard but not in any of the rooms, we must consider it as having piped water available within the building but outside the housing unit.

Question 9: Water supply system:

We intend to know what kind of system does the dwelling have for water supply.

The first distinction between forms of water supply is whether the dwelling has piped water supply or not.
a) If it has piped water available in the housing unit it can be:

1. From a public network
2. From a private source

Note: When a dwelling has piped water in the yard, the kitchen or the bathroom, we must consider it as having piped water available within the housing unit.
b) However, if the dwelling has water in the yard but not in any of the rooms we must consider it as having Piped water available within the building but outside the housing unit.

If it does not have piped water available in the interior of the dwelling or the building, the residents must be supplied water from one of the following methods:
a) Public drinking fountain
b) Private well or hole
c) Private well with pump
d) Public well without pump or surface water fountain
e) Other

Note: If it has various sources of water supply you must consider the one that is used the most for cooking and for hygiene purposes.

Question 6 - Water supply system:

When the kitchen and/or bathroom are located in a building separate from the dwelling (in the yard, etc.), which has piped water, the dwelling is considered as having inside water.

When the dwelling has piped running water outside (yard, etc.) but not in any of the rooms comprising it (kitchen, water closet or bathroom), it will be considered as having running water in the building, but outside the dwelling.
When there is no piped water in the dwelling or in the building and the household resorts to other supply sources, various alternative sources may be used. In this case, the source which is most frequently used to obtain water for cooking and hygiene should be considered.

Special cases of observation

When a dwelling has an annex with piped water we must consider as having this situation as having piped water available within the building but outside the housing unit.
When a dwelling has piped water in the yard but not in room of the house we must considered it as having piped water available within the building but outside the housing unit.
When a dwelling does not have any kind of piped water in its interior, or even inside the building, and for that reason it is used another source of water supply, and it is possible to have various sources of water supply.

Question 2 - Does the dwelling have running water?
[There is an image of box for question 2]
The difference between the public and private water supply systems is based on the ownership of the system. A public water supply system normally requires a payment based on water use as read by a meter.
Public water supply - when water is supplied in exchange for payment based on the consumption indicated on the meter.
Private water supply - when the water is property of a particular person(s);
When the dwelling has water piped in to only an outside installation, for example, a kitchen or bathhouse located in the patio you must record in one of the "yes" options depending upon it being public or private.
No, but there is running water in the building - when the dwelling does not have running water within it, but it does exist within the building. This could include situations in which the dwelling has running water in the patio, but not within any of the rooms (kitchen, bathroom, ?);
No running water is available - when there is no running water in the dwelling or the building.

29. Mark an x in the box which corresponds to the stated situation: code 1 if the existing water supply in the housing unit is connected to a public network of a community-wide system, or code 2 if the system is privately supplied.

For dwellings that do not have a water supply within the dwelling, specify its location: inside the building (code 3) or outside the building (code 4).

A housing unit is considered as having its water supply from a public network, whether it has piped water installation from a local community-wide system or from an enterprise or institution, etc. Also, a water supply is considered part of a public network whether the water is supplied to the housing unit from the street drinking fountain or through a piped system.

A dwelling is is considered as having its own private supply system if the housing unit receives water through a piped system from a natural source: a pit, fountain, spring etc.

When a dwelling is located in an individual building having only one housing unit with a water supply inside the building, an x will be marked in the box for code 1 or code 2 because the building is identical to the dwelling;

When a housing unit uses two sources for its water supply, indicated only the water supply offering the higher comfort to the dwelling.

Water supply system (item 11)

32. The housing unit is considered as having water supply from the public network, if it has piped water installation from a local community-wide system (of an enterprise or institution, etc.). Also, it is considered as having water supply from the public network, if the water is supplied to the housing unit from the street drinking fountain throughout a piped system.

If the housing unit is receiving water, throughout a piped system from a natural source: pit, fountain, spring, etc., it is considered as having its own supply system.

The way of recording:

-- the mark x will be recorded on the box for code 1 or code 2, if the existing water supply in the housing unit is connected to a public network of community-wide system, respectively to an own system;
When the dwellings are located in the individual building, having only one housing unit, with water supply inside the building-- the mark x will be written on the box for code 1, or code 2, because the building is identical with the dwelling;
-- the mark x will entry on the box for the code 3 or 4 -- when the housing units' water supply installation is outdoor the dwelling, but indoor the building connected to the public network (code 3) or from the own system (code 4);
-- the mark x will be recorded to the box code 5 or 6-- when the dwellings have water supply installations outdoor the building, from the public network,(code 5) or from the own supply, receiving throughout a piped system, the water from a natural source (for example pit, fountain, spring, etc.) -- (code 6);
-- will be written the mark x in the box of the code 7 to the housing units without any water supply installation, either inside of house or outdoor. (Will be not considered as having water supply installation the dwellings, where the water is obtained from a fountain using a bucket, etc.)

The purpose of this question is to assess the main mode of water supply used by the household. Further (in question E10), we will deal mainly with water used for drinking only.
[p. 61]
We distinguish safe water sources, including water vendors, tanker services, taps (indoor, neighboring, public) and other protected sources (protected wells, boreholes) on the one hand and, on the other hand, unsafe water sources which are unprotected sources (unprotected wells) and open-air water points (source/waterways).

Questionnaire instructions view entire document:  text  image

19 Piped water supply:
From the water supply network is marked by the enumerator if water supply in the dwelling is connected to the public water supply network. A public water supply network is a network with associated facilities that supplies drinking water to at least five households or 20 people and is managed by a public service provider or a manager that is not a public service provider.

From individual rainwater tank is marked by the enumerator if piped water supply in the dwelling is connected to rainwater. A rainwater tank is a water supply facility that has at least a collection surface from which water is collected, a filter for water treatment and a collector.

From individual water accumulation facility is marked by the enumerator if water supply in the dwelling is connected to own water reservoir. Own water accumulation facility is a water source for less than 5 households or 20 people.

No piped water supply is marked by the enumerator if the dwelling does not have a piped water installation (is without running drinking water) or running drinking water is outside the dwelling in the building or in the yard.

Question H-26-- Piped water

"In which way does this household obtain PIPED WATER for domestic use?"

Please write only one answer.

First ask whether the household has piped water or not. If not, write 1. If they have access to piped water, read out the other categories for the respondent to choose from. Notice that this question includes water piped locally e.g. from a nearby stream or a private borehole. In other words, it focuses on convenience.

The question is asking about water used for household needs, not water used for gardens or cattle.


Question H-26a -- Source of water

"What is this household's MAIN source of WATER for domestic use?"

Please indicate only one alternative.

Households who have piped water do not necessarily know where the water comes from. In most cases piped water comes from regional or local water schemes (1), boreholes (2) or springs (3). If the piped water is from a regional or local scheme, this takes precedence, and the respondent should not answer e.g. dam even if the scheme uses a dam. The reason is that this question is interested in the quality of people's water (rather than convenience), and it is assumed that water from a scheme is of good quality. People who do not have access to water from a scheme should indicate one of the other sources -- this assumes they carry water or have local pipework only.

If the respondent is not sure about the source of piped water, ask if they pay the municipality or service provider for water; if "Yes" mark 1. Note however that some people do receive a certain amount of water free from the municipality, so this is not a foolproof way of knowing.

If the answer is alternative 8 ("Other"), specify beneath the box.

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.


Question 35: What is the main source of your drinking water?
The aim of the question is to know the main source of water used for drinking in the household. There are many sources of drinking water (such as tap water, water from wells, rain water, water from rivers, pools, lakes, etc.) Shade the code according to the answers provided by the respondent.
If there is a dry tap in the household and a well nearby where the household members get their drinking water, this household will be included among those who get drinking water from the wells and not the tap. Try to get the correct information and shade in the respective codes.
The following codes are to be used for this question:
Source of water

[] 1 Tap water
[] 2 Covered well
[] 3 Uncovered well
[] 4 Preserved spring
[] 5 Unpreserved spring
[] 6 River / stream
[] 7 Dams / pools

Section 3 Questions on Housing
(Ask only private household)

Questions on housing are concerned with living places of every private household in municipal area. For those outside municipal area and Bangkok, ask only the sample households.

Guideline for questioning and recording

1. Ask conditions of living place by household not by person.
2. If a household living in many houses in the same area, consider the house where head of the household lives.
3. If several households living in the same house, consider conditions of the living place of the main household, other households or conditions of living are regarded as rooms in the house.
4. In recording answer, circle one code number only. If answer is "others," specify and record the answer clearly.
5. The question that has no answer code, record statement or number in the blank on the dot line.
H 12. Water supply

Ask "Where does the main source of using water come from?"

Record the same way as in (H 11).

In case that there are more than one main sources of using water, answer only one source that the household mostly use. For example, rain water is used, but when it is finished, water from a stream is used. In one year round, record the source which is mostly used.
Circle 5 if rain water is mostly used.
Circle 6 if water from a stream is mostly used, etc.

Question 44 - Water supply

The information recorded here should indicate how the household obtains its water supply, whether it is piped water within the dwelling unit, piped water outside the dwelling unit or any other specified source. You should note that the primary source of supply is not being sought in this question.

[1] Public piped into dwelling - Describes a condition where running water from a public source is piped directly into the dwelling unit. It is to be noted that in cases where both truck-borne supplies and intermittent supplies from a public reservoir are used, public piped takes precedence over "truck-borne".

[2] Public piped into yard - Applies in situations where the household receives running water from a public source through a pipe in the yard or compound on which the dwelling stands.

[3] Private piped into dwelling - Refers to the water supply received by a household from a private source and piped into the dwelling. Such situations will occur, for example, where the household pumps water from a river or pond through pipes directly to the dwelling.

[4] Private catchment not piped - Obtains where the water supply to the household is from a private source and not piped into the dwelling.

[5] Public stand pipe - Obtains when water is available to the household from a stand pipe in the street or elsewhere.

[6] Truck-borne [and not piped into dwelling] - This applies in a limited sense to a truck-borne water supply where the sole source of water to the household is truck borne. The water supply by truck must be from a public source. For example, the household stores its water in drums or barrels which are filled by a truck borne supply.

It is to be noted, again, that in cases of intermittent supplies from a public source, public piped takes precedence over truck-borne, especially where pipes are already laid from the mains to the house.

Question 40 - Water supply

The information recorded here should indicate how the household obtains its water supply, whether it is piped water within the dwelling unit, piped water outside the dwelling unit or any other specific source. You should note that the primary source of supply is not being sought in this question.
[1] Public piped into dwelling
Describes a condition where running water from a public source is piped directly into the dwelling unit. It is to be noted that in cases where both truck-borne supplies and intermittent supplies from a public reservoir are used, public piped takes precedence over truck -borne.
[2] Public piped into yard
Applies in situations where the household receives running water from a public source through a pipe in the yard or compound on which the dwelling stands.
[3] Private piped into dwelling
Refers to the water supply received by a household from a private source and piped into the dwelling. Such situations will occur, for example, where the household pumps water from a river or pond through pipes directly to the dwelling.
[4] Private catchment not piped
Obtains where the water supply to the household is from a private source and not piped into the dwelling.
[5] Public stand pipe
Obtains when water is available to the household from a stand pipe in the street or elsewhere.
[6] Truck-borne [and not piped into dwelling]
This applies in a limited sense to a truck-borne water supply where the sole source of water to the household is truck borne. The water supply by truck must be from a public source. For example, the household stores its water in drums or barrels which are filled by a truck borne supply.
It is to be noted, again, that in cases of intermittent supplies from a public source, public piped takes precedence over truck-borne, especially where pipes are already laid from the mains to the house.
[7] Spring/river

Question 56 - Water supply

The concept of water supply describes the water supply system to the dwelling unit, whether piped into dwelling, public, tank etc. Therefore, the primary source is not required. For example, the primary source may be a well but the water is received by the dwelling unit through pipes leading to the unit. In this example, the supply is recorded as piped into dwelling unit.

1. Public piped into dwelling: Describes a condition where running water from a public source is piped directly into the dwelling unit. It is to be noted that in cases where both truck-borne supplies and intermittent supplies from a public reservoir are used, public piped takes precedence over truck-borne.

[p.71]

2. Public piped into yard: Applies in situations where the household receives running water from a public source through a pipe in the yard or compound on which the dwelling stands.

3. Public standpipe: Obtains when water is available to the household from a stand pipe in the street or elsewhere.

4. Private piped into dwelling: Refers to the water supply received by a household from a private source and piped into the dwelling. Such situations will occur for example, where the household pumps water from a river or pond through pipes directly to the dwelling.

5. Private catchment not piped: Obtains where the water supply to the household is from a private source and not piped into the dwelling.

6. Truck-borne (and not piped into dwelling): This applies in a limited sense to a truck-borne water supply where the sole source of water to the household is truck borne. The water supply by truck must be from a public source. For example, the household stores its water in drums or barrels that are filled by a truck borne supply.

It is to be noted, again, that in cases of intermittent supplies from a public source, public piped takes precedence over truck-borne, especially where pipes are already laid from the mains to the house.

7. Spring / river: This applies when the main water supply available to the dwelling is from a spring or river.

8. Other: Obtains when the dwelling receives its water supply from a source not specified e.g. well, pond, etc. and there is no pipe borne supply.

Skip instructions: If response 4 to 9 is given skip to question 58.

Section III: Questions related to households and dwellings
Attention! Section III is to be filled out for places where a household [housing unit] is constituted.

Questions 1 to 12 in this section are to be asked of the household head or someone able to answer in his/her place.


Question 8. Which of the following are to be found in your dwelling?

An "X" to be entered into the boxes corresponding to each one of the amenities (toilet, bath, kitchen and piped in water) that exist in the dwelling that the household is living in, doing so according to whether these amenities are located inside or outside the dwelling. For dwellings occupied by a household lacking a toilet, bath, kitchen or piped water either inside or outside the dwelling, an "X" is to be entered for the "None" option for each one of these non-existent amenities.

In filling out this question, the following definitions should be kept in mind:

Toilet (inside the dwelling): That area situated inside the dwelling, enclosed on four sides, with a separate door, from which human feces and dirty water are conveyed via pipe, tile/clay pipe, etc., to a main canal, a septic tank or to the sewer lines.

Toilet (outside the dwelling): A place enclosed on four sides, located outside the dwelling being lived in (in the yard, in the garden, or on empty land), built with the purpose of permitting people to meet their toilet needs.

Bathroom (inside the dwelling): A place inside the dwelling being lived in, enclosed on four sides, with a separate door, that has been set aside for washing.

Bathroom (outside the dwelling): A place outside the dwelling that is being lived in (in the yard, in the garden, or on empty land), enclosed on four sides with a separate door, that has been set aside for washing.

Kitchen (inside the dwelling): A place inside the dwelling being lived in, enclosed on four sides, closed off on top, with a separate door in which food may be cooked, dishes washed, and where essential kitchen utensils may be placed.

Kitchen (outside the dwelling): A place outside the dwelling being lived in (in the yard, in the garden, or on empty land) enclosed on four sides, closed off on top, with a separate door, within which food may be cooked, dishes washed, and where essential kitchen utensils may be placed.

Piped water (inside the dwelling): Running water brought all the way into the dwelling by means of a pipe connection to the city water network or to a private system such as a water tank pump.

Piped water (outside the dwelling): Running water located outside the dwelling delivered by means of a pipe connection to the city water network or to a private system such as a water tank pump.


If a toilet or piped water exists both inside and outside the dwelling that the household lives in, the toilet or piped water shall be designated as being "Inside the dwelling". If a section of the toilet inside the dwelling the household lives in is used as a bathroom, then both the toilet and bathroom will be deemed to be "Inside the dwelling".

For situations not covered by those defined above, the "None" option is to be marked.

  • If it deals with a private dwelling and it is detected that it is occupied, the system displays the questions that will be presented below.
8. How does the water arrive at the dwelling?

The objective of this question is to verify that there exists piping that carries the water within the dwelling and in addition, there is at least one faucet within the dwelling that works, independent of whether or not that piping in the dwelling is fastened to the walls.

The options of the response are:

  • Via piping within the dwelling
  • Via piping outside the dwelling
  • Less than 100 m away
  • More than 100 m away
  • By other means: this includes water delivery, water trucks, etc.

For example, a public OSE faucet is recorded as "via piping outside the dwelling" and depending on the distance, "less than 100 m away" or "more than 100 m away" is recorded.

Which is the main means of electrical lighting of this dwelling?

The intent of this question is to find out the means of electrical lighting that the dwellings have. Mark the principal means used. In the case that there exists more than one, record the one that is used the majority of the time.

  • UTE or general network: This generally refers to the UTE but it can be the case that the electrical energy that is used by the dwelling is generated and distributed by a private company, for example the dwellings that are found in rural zones and located close to production establishments.
[p. 75]
  • Battery powered wind charger: The batteries that are used, at least, for the lighting of the dwelling, are charged by an electric generator moved by a wind-driven turbine.
  • Battery powered solar charger: The batteries that are used, at least, for the lighting of the dwelling, are charged by a solar panel that converts the solar energy to electric energy.
  • Personal power generator: This is a internal combustion motor that moves an electric generator.
  • Other electric source: Select this option in the case that the dwelling has a means of electrical lighting not included in the previous options.
  • Does not have: Select this option if the dwelling does not have electrical lighting.

Note: For water sources with "filtering system or wells that guarantee hygiene" ("3"), only count the sources that meet the following requirements:
Water is colorless, odorless, and has no strange taste
The water source must be at least seven meters from contaminated areas (cattle barns, toilets, cemeteries, etc.)


If the household uses many different water sources, then verify that the main water source has the highest volume of usage.

Question 55: What is the main source of cooking/drinking water of your household?
The main source of cooking/drinking water is the one that household used most for cooking and drinking, regardless of where it came from. Based on the answer of the respondent, the enumerator marks (x) in the appropriate small box.

The main source of cooking/drinking water have the following choices:
Indoor tap water: is tap water which is produced according to industrial technology and is linked with a system of taps installed inside or outside the house but within its premise.

Public tap water: is tap water which is produced according to industrial technology and is linked with a system of taps installed in public places for common use.

Drilled well: water is taken from deeply-drilled wells to take ground water through a small hole with a protected tube; water is often taken up through a system of pumps. "Tower water" is also counted as drilled well water. Tower water also looks, if we view it from the outside, like tap water, and is also taken from drilled wells and brought up to a tall tower. Then there is a system of tubes to lead it to each household for use. However, before being consumed, it is not processed according to an industrial process (raining sieves, filter system, pasteurization, filtration pools).

Protected dig well: water from a dig well-constructed with bricks (or other protected materials) to block unclean water from soaking into the well, and on the ground there is a wall to prevent things from falling down into the well.

Unprotected dig well: water from a dig well without brick construction and walls to block unclean water from soaking into the well, or to prevent things from falling in.

Protected slot water: slot water comes from the upper reaches of rivers and streams, and is poured from artesian water (slots) of mountains (land- or rock-mountains). Protected slot water is the water taken from slots, which are protected to block unclean things to fall into the slots.

Unprotected slot water: slot water that is not protected and cannot prevent unclean thins from falling into the slots. They are often slots without pools.

Rain water: rain water which is collected and kept in storage (water tanks, pools, etc.) to use.

Other: is the water not listed above, such as: pool water, lakes, canals, rivers, stream water, etc.

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 63: What is the main source of drinking water in your household?
The main source of drinking water is the water source that in the past year (12 months prior to the time of the survey) the household has used the most for drinking, regardless of where that water source comes from. Sources of drinking water include the following types:

- Tap water: Tap water is produced by industrial methods connected to the system of faucets located inside or outside the house.
[p.82]
- Buying water (tanks, jugs): Water that has been treated, purified at facilities licensed by state agencies, and sold to users in the form of stainless steel tanks or in plastic jugs.

- Drilled well water: Water is withdrawn from a deep drilled well to get groundwater through a small hole with a protective pipe, the water is usually withdrawn through a pumping system.

"Water tree" also counts as drilled well water. While "Water tree" doesn't seem to be different from tap water, as it is also withdrawn from a drilled well into a high tower, then using a pipeline system for consumption at each household. However, it is not treated using an industrial process (bakki showers, filtration system, disinfecting, sediment tank) before being distributed to the place of consumption.

- Protected dug well water: Water taken from a dug well built with bricks or other protective material to prevent wastewater from seeping through, with a wall on top to prevent dirt or animals from falling in.

- Unprotected dug well water: Water taken from a dug well that does not have a protective wall to prevent wastewater from seeping in and to prevent dirty objects from falling into the well.

- Protected water gap: Water in the headwaters of rivers and streams, flowing out of underground veins (gap) of mountains (made of dirt or rock) and is protected to prevent waste or pollutants from entering. Protected water gap is usually a water gap with a man-made reservoir wall, from which water is led through a closed pipe system to the place of consumption.

- Unprotected water gap: Water taken from a water gap which cannot prevent waste or pollutants from falling in. An unprotected water gap is usually a water gap without a reservoir wall.

- Rain water.

For example: A household uses tap water for cooking, drilled well water for bathing, and other daily activities. In this case, DTV identifies the main source of drinking water of the household as "Tap water".

2.8 Water Sources
a. Protected Well: The wall of this well is usually lined with a brick wall or concrete block wall up to the ground level. The finish on top is of a reinforced concrete slab with an opening large enough to let a bucket go through. The opening is always covered.

9

b. Unprotected Well: The well is not lined with a brick wall or concrete wall. The top has no concrete slab though it has a sizeable opening to let a bucket go through. The opening is usually uncovered.

c. Protected Boreholes: These are boreholes drilled to a depth not less than 30 meters. The sides are cased by iron casing pipes while the last bottom pipe is perforated. The top is concreted together with the suction pipe.

d. Unprotected Boreholes: They are similar in design to protected boreholes except that the top as well as the suction pipe are left uncovered and large enough to let a jar or small bucket go through.

e. Rain Water Tank: Usually used by individual tenants, to collect rain water from the roofs. These vary in sizes as there is no standard size. It is always advisable to have it covered after the collection.

f. Piped Water: Is usually supplied to households through pipes. The pipes are connected from the source to the individual's housing unit or a public place for a group of people.

Section F: Living Conditions
This section seeks information on the living environment and touches on such aspects as access to electricity and toilets, sources of drinking water etc.

Responses to Questions 28 to 33 are pre-coded and you have to shade the correct response.

Q31 Water for drinking and cooking
The question asks for information on the:

a) Main water source; and
b) The distance to that water source, measured from the kitchen.

The option 7 'Other' under question 31 includes: water tank and bowser.

If the main source of water varies during the year, record the source most usually used and if the main source is "Piped water inside house", then the distance is not necessary, and is automatically coded as "1" on the questionnaire. Probe to make sure that you obtain the correct source of water for drinking and cooking.
