Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="FR68A051"><span class="h3">3.3.1. Question 1: Type of building.</span><br />You will check one and only one of the six boxes.<br /><span class="em">Type 1</span>: farm, agricultural buildings. You will classify the buildings used for a farm in this section.<br /><span class="em">Type 2</span>: Make- shift dwellings: This type of dwelling consists of shelters not meant to be used for housing or totally unfit to be lived in but nevertheless are used as abodes. This includes wagons or other immobilized vehicles, immobilized boats impossible to navigate (1), blockhouses, fortifications, shanty town shacks, houses falling into ruin, etc.<br />[Foot note] (1) Barges and tug boats of inland navigation will be counted by agents of navigable waters. You should only count boats which are no longer licensed.<br />Do not count these places unless they are lived in. In the same way, only count the dwellings within them which are occupied.<br /><span class="em">Warning</span>: The buildings built as dwellings but which have become more or less unfit to live in as a normal abode, either through dilapidation or insufficient maintenance, must be classified in sections 5 and 6 as long as they have not fallen into ruin, even if their facility installations do no longer hold up to the modern norms for building facilities.<br /><span class="em">Type 3</span>: Temporary structure. This means structures destined for habitation but having a temporary nature: shacks constructed from devastated dwellings, workers on a temporary building site, etc.<br /><span class="em">Types 5 and 6</span>: The buildings which do not fit with types 1- 4 will be classified in 5 or 6 on the condition that they will be mainly used as abodes or, on the other hand, mainly for industrial, commercial or administrative use, etc. In addition, the houses which contain both one single dwelling and one single professional local (store, shop, artisan's workshop) will be classified in the type 6 category.<br />Do not forget to specify in as much detail as possible, the type of construction, when you check boxes 2 and 6. If you are worried by a special case, describe it at the end of question and you might want to point it out to the delegate.<br /></svar>
