Interviewer instructions

Question 7 Number of rooms:

Write down in the corresponding space the number of rooms that the dwelling to be enumerated has.
Each room or part of the dwelling whose goal is lodging is considered a room including:
living room, dining room, bedrooms, studies, sewing rooms, recreational rooms and rooms for domestic servants even when they are separated from the principal structure of the building.

[p.30]

The rooms should be separated by walls or panels or by any other type of division that practically divides the distinct rooms.
The kitchen, the bathroom, the halls, terraces, "porches" or doorways will not be counted as rooms. Nor will be counted as rooms those that form part of the dwelling but are used exclusively for commercial, industrial or service means (shop, study, storehouse for grain or other products, elevated storage rooms (jorones), stalls for animals etc.).
