Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="FR68A010 FR68A017 FR68A018"><span class="em">3.1 Questions 1 and 3: Characteristics and existence of the kitchen, number of rooms.</span><br />The same room should never be counted at the same time in response to question 1 and in the answer to question 3. It should be counted in question 1 if it is considered a kitchen (answer <span class="em">Yes</span> to question 1), and to question 3 if it is considered as a room in a dwelling.<br />In some dwellings, there is no separation (or there is a removable partition) between the two "rooms", (for example the dining room and the living room). In such a case, you will count it as two rooms if there is a partition and one single room if there is no partition.<br />The case of the dwelling consisting of one single room<br />It in the country that you may often encounter some regular dwellings (dwelling category 1) made up of one single room serving as a shared room, with some kitchen facilities (sink, stove, etc.). In the city, it is frequent to find some places (furnished bedrooms, for example) made up of a single room (dwelling category 1, 2 or 3).<br />In all these cases, you will answer 1 for question 3 (number of rooms in the dwelling) and you will check box NO (no kitchen) for question 1 ("Do you have a kitchen?").<br />In the case of the furnished bedroom where someone has installed a simple portable stove and where there is no sink, you will complete the answer question 6 by checking the numbered box 6 (<span class="em">No</span>) and not box numbered 5.<br />According to the rules above, for all dwellings consisting of at least one room for living you should never have a blank response to question 3.<br /></svar>
