Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">Part V: Instructions on how to question and record information on the census form</span></p>

<p><span class="h3">Part 3: Information about housing</span>
<br />The DTV collects information about the housing situation of the household. Do not collect housing information for specific demographics.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 61: What is the main type of fuel (energy) that your household uses for lighting?</span>
<br />The main type of fuel (energy) that households use for lighting is the fuel (energy) that households use the most for lighting in the past year (12 months before the time of the survey).</p>
<div class="i1">- Electrical grid: Including the national electrical grid and the locally managed one. Normally, grid power must be transferred from the place of production to the place of consumption through high-voltage lines and substations to increase/decrease voltage. Households using electricity from a local power station for lighting are also counted as using the electrical grid.</div><span class="pg">[p.81]</span><div class="i1">- Generator power: Including electricity generated from generators running on gasoline, water power (small hydroelectricity), wind power, solar power, or privately built small power stations (including thermoelectricity and hydroelectricity) to generate electricity which is then sold to other households.<br /><br />- Kerosene: Includes kerosene and gasoline.<br /><br />- Gas.<br /><br />- Other: Including other types of fuel such as: candles, carbide/acetylene lamp, ...).The DTV clearly records the main fuel source that the household uses for lighting in the solid line.</div><p>For example: A household uses electricity from the grid for lighting. In the past 20 days, households had to use kerosene lamps for lighting because the local power station was broken, and has yet to be repaired. In this case, the DTV determines that the fuel used for lighting in the household is the "Electrical grid".
