Interviewer instructions
Questions 3 to 15 are only asked at dwellings with occupants present (Circle 1).
Explanations with respect to questions 6 and 7:
These two questions, unlike the rest of the section, refer to the building where the dwelling is, that is to say that in the cases in which apartments or tenement houses are being enumerated, the questions refer to the apartment building or the tenement house where the dwelling is located.
Question No. 6: What is the predominant material in the outside walls of the building or house?
This question should not be filled out from an observation since you only see a part of the dwelling and it can be the case that the dwelling is not constructed from the materials that you observe.
The walls of a dwelling are understood to be the walls of the front, sides and back.
If more than one material is used in the walls, write down the one most used or predominant.
It is important to clarify that this question does not refer to the material with which the walls are covered with like wall paper, but rather the base material: wood, concrete, palm leaves, etc.
Mark a single circle according to the response of the person. If the person has doubts about responding, keep in mind, when clarifying the doubts, what is written above.
