Interviewer instructions
Question P-11 and 11a -- Usually live

This question also has two parts i.e. P-11 and P-11a.The first part asks if the person usually lives in this household. People who answer "Yes" can move straight on to Question 12. People who say "No" must answer the second part of the question, P-11a.

P-11 "Does (the person) usually live in this household for at least four nights a week?"

If "Yes" skip P-11a and go to P-12, if "No" ask Question P-11a.

P-11a "Where does (the person) usually live?"

The purpose of this question is to identify visitors and exclude them from data about total household income, or data about the number of people who live in a particular place.

If the person does not usually live in this dwelling but lives in the same sub-place, dot the S box (S = Same).

[P. 43]

If the person usually lives in a different place, write the name of the main place and the name of the sub-place in the spaces provided, e.g. Pretoria, Arcadia; or Kutama, Tshikwarane. One place name is not sufficient for coding purposes.


Main place and sub-place
This is the first question that brings in the concepts of main place and sub-place. So far we have only needed province or country. Now we have to write sufficient information to pinpoint local places.

A main place is a city, town, township, tribal authority or administrative area.

A sub-place is a suburb, section of a township, smallholding, village, subvillage, ward or informal settlement.

On the front of the questionnaire for sub-place we wrote the most local name used by the household. For this question, and other questions asking for main place and sub-place, we must be a little more careful, as some local names can occur more than once within a main place.

For more details, see Appendix 6, which also give examples within the new metros.


There are also two boxes for the abbreviation of the province, as some place names occur in more than one province. Use the following two-letter abbreviations: EC, FS, GP, KN, MP, NC, NP, NW, WC.

National Bureau: Write the main place in the main place row and the sub-place in the sub-place row. Do not continue writing the main place in the sub-place row if the name is too long. Just write as many letters as will fit, as we did for religion.

If the person usually lives abroad, ask for the name of the country and write it in the space provided. Write the name of the country, not of the city or the province.




P-12 "Five years ago (at the time of Census '96), was (the person) living in this place (i.e. this suburb, ward, township, village, farm, informal settlement)?"

If the answer is "Yes" dot the Y box, if "No" dot the N box. Dot the box marked B for people who were not alive at the time of the last census (B = born after October 1996).

[P. 44]

The main issue here is, what counts as a move? Again the question refers to a very small area -- the sub-place. If the person lived in the same dwelling 5 years ago the answer is "Yes". If the respondent has moved within the same "sub-place" from one house to another, the answer should also be "Yes" because we do not count short-distance residential moves for this question. If the person was living in a different sub-place from the one on the front of the 09 book, the answer is "No".

If "Yes" or born after October 96 skip P-12a and P-12b and go to Question P-13.

If "No" go to Questions P-12a and P-12b.
