Interviewer instructions

In this block information will be collected on living accommodation, such as ownership, area covered, rent etc., and also on housing amenities such as drinking water, sanitation, etc. The dwelling house (unit) has been defined as the accommodation availed of by a household for its residential purpose. It may be an entire structure or a part there of or may consist of more than one structure. There may be cases of more than one household occupying a single structure such as those living in independent flats or sharing a single housing unit, in which case there will be as many dwelling units as the numbered of households sharing the structure.

There may also be cases of one household occupying more than one structures (e.g. detached structure for sitting sleeping, cooking, bathing etc.) for its housing accommodation. In such cases, all the structure together constitute a single dwelling unit. In general, accommodation availed of for residential purpose will cover living room, kitchen, store, bath, latrine, garage, open and closed verandah etc. A structure or a portion thereof used exclusively for other than residential purposes or let out to other households does not form part of the dwelling unit of the household under consideration. However, a portion of a structure used for both residential and non-residential purposes is treated as part of the dwelling unit except when the residential purpose use of this portion is very nominal.
