Interviewer instructions
Question D10 - Place of birth
117. Ask,
'Where was this person's mother living when he or she was born?'
118. The question is put in this way because we wish to know the mother's usual place of residence at the time and not the location of the hospital in which she may have borne the person.
[p.21]
119. If the person was born in Fiji write first the name of the province. On the second line write the name of the town, street and ward if the place was urban. If the place was rural, write the village, settlement or locality. Describe the village, locality and settlement such that coders in the office may identify the geographical location on the map. Descriptive phrases that classify and qualify are best. eg. Vunivau settlement, east of Labasa Town; Vunivau settlement, near Dama, Bua, [the former is within the new Labasa Urban boundary while the latter is a settlement in Bua province]; Tomuka settlement, off Naikabula Road, Lautoka [is now part of Lautoka urban].
120. It is important for the census to distinguish between urban and rural places. In this sense 'urban' means the whole of the urban or built up areas, not just the gazetted city or town boundaries. For example, Kinoya is urban even though it is outside the Suva City boundary. If you receive an answer such as 'Ba' or 'Nadi' or 'Labasa' ask whether the person is referring to the urban or to the rural area surrounding it. Add the letter 'U' for urban or 'R' for rural as appropriate.
121. If the person was born on one of the small islands such as those in the Lomaiviti, Lau or Yasawa groups write the name of the island together with the name of the village.
122. If the person was born outside Fiji write the name of the country - for example, India, New Zealand, Tonga, Western Samoa, Tuvalu etc.
117. Ask,
'Where was this person's mother living when he or she was born?'
118. The question is put in this way because we wish to know the mother's usual place of residence at the time and not the location of the hospital in which she may have borne the person.
