<p>In this question, living place means usual living place. If the person responded question of column 17 (How long [has the respondent] been living here?) as he/she is older than five years, then we can understand that the person was also living here in this district five years ago. In order to identify whether that answer was true or not, ask the respondent the question of column 19 (Where was the living place of [the respondent] five years ago?) and if confirmed it was this district, circle the reference 1. But while asking question of column 17 (How long has [the respondent] been living here?) if the response is less than five years, then the person was in another district or country five years ago. Therefore, to confirm whether this answer is true or not, ask the question of column 19 (Where was the living place of [the respondent] five years ago?) and if was another district, circle the reference 2. Again, ask whether that living place of another district was a VDC or municipality and if it was a VDC, circle the reference 1, and if it was a municipality, circle the reference 2. </p>
<p>If the living place five years ago was another country, circle the reference 3 and also write the name of that country. </p>
<p>In this question, it has been asked the living place exactly 5 years ago from the date of enumeration. That is, if the remuneration day is 2068/03/04, then ask the person where he was living on 2063/03/03. Here also living place means the usual living place of a person.</p>
<p><span class="ital">Relationship between column 17 and column 19</span>
<br />In question of column 17 (how long [has the respondent] been living here) if the response is five years or more than five years, then the response automatically would be "in this district" and circle the reference 1. If the response is less than five years, it is understood that the person was in another district or another country five years ago. Confirm this and if it was another district, circle the reference 2 and specify the name of the district, and again to specify whether it was VDC or municipality, circle the reference 1 VDC for VDC and reference 2 Municipality for municipality, respectively. If it was another country, circle the reference 3 and write the name of that country.
