Interviewer instructions
B.15 How much is the space of your dwelling unit (sq/m)?
Here the space of whole dwelling unit is noted. The sum of the square meter is written in total figures without decimal figures. The writing is done in figures (for example 5, 13, 44, 105 and so on).
The space of the personal house or dormitory is determined by the total square meter of the rooms and additional buildings (kitchens, halls, bathrooms, cellars) excluding the square meter of the additional closets and halls.
For those who live in dormitories, the space of the place they use is determined by the total square meter of the rooms they use in the dormitory. In the dormitories, the space of the additional buildings used by the dweller is determined by dividing the whole sum of the square meter into the number of beds/places.
For example; if the space of the additional buildings of the dormitory is 506 sq/m and the number of the beds is 103, then each person has 5sq/m (4,913, which is rounded).
The space of the staircases, halls, entrances, stuck out buildings and the places used by stoves, additional buildings that are not heated (balcony, attic, veranda) are not included in the whole space of the building.
Also the square meters of the rooms of security, serving personnel, teachers, nurses and the buildings of everyday repairs and other necessities (reception area, hairdressing saloon, shop) are not included in the whole square meter of the dormitories, nursing homes.
The dwelling space comprises of the square meters of all the rooms used in the household not including the space of the inbuilt closets. If the household uses only part of the room, then the space of the whole room used by the household must be written (for example; if three people live in dormitory in 15sq/m space and each of them is a separate household, then 5sq/m falls to each of them.
If the household uses the part of the space and rents the other part then the whole space that belongs to them as well as the part that is used by the household is written.
