Interviewer instructions
Section 3: Questions pertaining to the household (1-10)
Fill out this section only for places exhibiting the characteristics of a household. Do not fill it out for military garrisons, military posts, hotels, hospitals, etc., and cross it out with an "X". In administering the census to people located in such places, it is to be done in such a way that 9 people are written up on every page of Section I, and by continuing on to the next page without leaving any gap in between, making use of as many questionnaires as needed.

A special enumerator will be assigned to places such as these for which the notation "Not to be visited" has been written on the "Census region building tables" (Reference C). The notation "Special census" is to be written onto the census notebooks filled out in places displayed below that are to be designated by the special enumerators as being subject to a special census. These places are the following:

Military, gendarme and police barracks, jails and associated establishments, as well as living quarters in military bases (including foreign bases) located in military zones into which entry is not permitted to civilian public servants.
All public and private (military and civilian) hospitals, sanatoria, maternity hospitals, health clinics, dispensaries, and similar establishments.
All public and private (military and civilian) boarding schools and student dormitories (those people present in non-boarding schools on census day, are to be written up by the enumerators assigned to the census regions to which [these schools] belong).
Prisons and penitentiaries (military and civil).
Places where people are on duty on census day.
Places not to be included in a census region:


Roadside bus stops or terminals, and vehicles traveling on the roadways,
Train and train stations,
Means of sea and air transportation and ports,


Places (factories and large workplaces where census day work was permitted) deemed by special census officers of the census committees as appropriate for having a census conducted.
Embassies, charges d'affaires, attaches, consulates.


Numbers in the "Census region building table" (Reference C) for the places cited in the above paragraphs must be notated with the words "Not to be visited" beside them. If the entry "Not to be visited" is not observed next to such places in the "Census region building table" (Reference C), a request to have the necessary correction made is to be submitted to the census or control officer committee.
However, people such as a school principal, chief physician, caretaker, [or] night watchman living permanently in a school, hospital and other similar institutions, are to be considered as independent households and are each to be written up on separate pages.
At the same time, for people in places that do not constitute households, this section is not to be filled out and is to be crossed out with an "X". The census for people in these sorts of places is to be written up in Section IV as an aggregate population, with 9 people to be written on every page, and then going on to subsequent pages as necessary without leaving any gaps between them.
For places that constitute households, fill out Section IV with one line per household member and write "Household head" on the first line.



Question 8: The number of rooms the household uses? (including the living room)

Write the number of rooms including the living room into the "___" space. A hallway, entryway, balcony, bathroom, kitchen or toilet is not to be considered as constituting a room. If more than one household lives in the house, apartment flat or dwelling place, it is necessary to report the number of rooms respectively used by each household. Furthermore, in the event that there is a room or rooms that the household owns but feels no need to use, write the number of rooms so that it includes these as well.

If there is a room or rooms in the section utilized by the household that is being used as a workplace, these must be subtracted from the number of rooms. If there is only a single room that is being used both as a residence and as a workplace, it is to be deemed a room and added to to the number of rooms.

Room: Places enclosed on four sides and on the top, with a minimal floor area of 4 square meters and a minimum height from floor to ceiling of 2.5 meters, or that is big enough to accommodate the bed of a grown-up person (age 15 or older), (like a bedroom, dining room, sitting room, living room). A hallway, entryway, balcony, bathroom, kitchen or toilet is not to be considered as constituting a room.
