Interviewer instructions
Characteristics of the dwelling

The series of questions found on page two of the questionnaire will permit you to find out the principal characteristics of the dwellings: the materials that they are made out of, the number of rooms that the dwelling consists of and the use the rooms are given, the available services, ownership of the dwelling and the cooking fuel that they use.




1. Walls and 2. Roofs

In these questions, what is important is to know the foundational construction materials, so you should pay attention that the answer given by the informant does not correspond to the material that covers the walls. If the roof or walls of the dwelling are built with more than one material, you should note only the most dominant.
