It should be counted only:<br />- in question 1 if it is considered a kitchen (answer YES to question 1);<br />- in question 2 if it is considered as a room exclusively for professional use ;<br />- in question 3 if it is considered as a room in a dwelling.<br /><span class="em">Separated rooms</span><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:<br />- two rooms if there is a partition<br />- one room if there is no partition<br /><span class="pg">[p.43]</span><br /><span class="em">Dwelling not consisting of one single room</span><br />It in the country, 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 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 <span class="em">No</span> (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 to question 1 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:<br />You should never have a blank response to question 3.<br /></svar>
