Interviewer instructions
H07. Rooms
A room is defined as a space in the housing unit or other living quarters enclosed by walls reaching from the floor to the ceiling or roof covering, or at least to a height of 2 meters, of a size large enough to hold a bed for an adult, that is, at least 4 square meters. Note that there are cases of two or more persons sharing a single room that have separate catering arrangements. Such persons are therefore single person household. The number of rooms occupied by such households should be one (1) for each person.
H07b. Sleeping rooms - How many of the rooms are used for sleeping?
Only rooms used for sleeping must be counted unless the room/place has been specifically converted for sleeping. Conversion here means a change of its original use. Record the number of rooms used for sleeping in 2 digits.
Sleeping rooms must exclude the kitchen, dining room, study, habitable attic, rooms used for professional or business purposes (e.g. stores or garages,) unless these are used as sleeping places. Bathrooms, toilet rooms, passageways, veranda and lobbies should also not be counted as sleeping rooms.
When a person or household sleeps in a room which is also used for business purposes, e.g. shop/store or office or workshop, the room must be recorded and the information must be appropriately recorded in question H01 (category 10) above.
Note that if the number of rooms used by the household is more than 1, skip to H08.
