Interviewer instructions
Questions 3 to 14 only are asked at dwellings with occupants present classified in one of the circles 01 to 05 of question Number 1 "Type of Dwelling".
Explanations with respect to questions 5 and 6:
These two questions, unlike the rest of the section, refer to the building where the dwelling is, that is to say that in the cases in which apartments or tenement houses are being enumerated, the questions refer to the apartment building or the tenement house where the dwelling is located. If an individual house is being enumerated, the building and the dwelling coincide.
Question Number 5: What is the predominant material in the outside walls of the building or house?
Mark a single circle according to the response of the person. If the person has doubts when responding, keep in mind, when explaining to the person, the following:
The walls of the dwelling are understood to be the walls of the front, sides and back.
If more than one material is used in the walls, write down the one most used or predominant.
