228. This tabulation and the following one are t05ether intended to provide for the oompound (ooncession) the kind of information whioh Tabulation 4 provides for eaoh separate type of living quarters, with the difference that Tabulation 10 speoifies the number of households orose-olassified by the number of family nuolei.

•

229. However, the information does not simply duplioate the information of Tabulation 4, beoause the oompound may oomprise a number of sets of living quarters, in this oase housing units, and it is preoisely this grouping of housing units and of persons liVing in them, whioh is of interest. It is felt that where a large proportion of the housing stook is in the form of the oompound, it is desirable to examine the sooial grouping within the oompounds in some detail: henoe the cross-olassifioation of number of households by number of family nuolei.

230. Information on the ethnic group (or citizenship) .of the head. of the oompound has been introduoed into the tabulation beoause of the prevalenoe of oonsiderable differenoes in the size and oomplexity of the oompounds inhabited by different ethnio groups within the same oountry.

231. The tabulation is a presentation of oompounds by the total number of households, of family nuolei, of persons and of housing units. The oross-elaseifioation. by ethnio group (or oitizenship if preferred) is intended, as in Tabulation 10, to highlight differenoes between ethnio groups in the size and oomplexity of the oompound.

232. The number of housing units will oorrespond to the number of separate and independent plaoes of abode (paragraph 23) within the oompound. In praotioe, it is reoommended that eaoh separate building within the oompound used as sleeping quarters and/or living rooms should be oounted as a housing unit. Separate buildings used as kitohens,

bathhouses, toilets, should not oonstitute additional housing units.

As noted in paragraph 60 above, buildings used only for storage, for oattle, as garages, and for other suoh purposes should be exoluded.

Tabulation 12. Livinb q~arters, households, and persons in living quarters, by type of living quarters oross-classified by water SUPPY'syste!Jl

233.

From this tabulation ihformation may be derived ooncerning the number of persons and, .the numba.r of households wi th ready aocess. to a protected water sup~ly:as well as the availability of piped water for each class of livinb ,quarters. The supplying of water through

pipes is reco.,nized 'as the most effective maan s of protecting it from pollution and of ensuring its purity,' provided' that the water supply

..

^-, ^{' "} ^.,.

is, therefore, one of the primary objectives of housing policy as well as of public health poli~y and the availability of piped water is

considered to be perhaps ;the mo.s,t: ~~'l~b:l~: j.pdicator of, Ilanitary condi-tione. The availabilit,Y 10f a pr'O'teoied' watar 'supply for the occupants of each set of living qUirters ise'ss,enti.a;L for :the. p,r,eyention of

communicable diseases as well as fer the cleanliness and general comfort

of the oocupants. Furthermore, since it is the usual practice for the_{

.

^., ^-.

majority of per aons to ^take thei-r- principal meals' in' their livingl

quarters, the availability of a water\ sup~ly in5tallation is of particular importance in connexaon \~ii th the preparation of food.

234.

The classification of water supply recommended in Tabulation

12

is proposed as a olassifioation which may be adapted according to the' needs of countries partioularly in regard to the source of the water supply in addition to'information on whether or not it is piped to the living quarters. Some oountries may wish to distinguish a supply used only by the occupants of the liVing quarters being enumerated from tha~

used by the ocoupants of several living quarters; others may qualify further the location of the piped water supply by including a separate category for a supply which is not inside the living quarters but which is inside the building in whi ch the living quarters are located.

Because of the undve rse.L importance of a for the total population, all classes of living

Page 97

in the tabulation with their total occupants (those in hcuseholds as well as those not living in households), Households are tabulated aooording to whether they occupy housing units Or living Quarters other than housing units. It should be -noted, therefore, that the oells for housing units will contain the number of households together with the number of persons in those households. However, there is no relationship between households and persons in the cells that fall under "living

Quarters other than housing units" since the number of persons inoludes persons not living in households.

236. It is reoommended that the data be tabulated in considerable geographic detail because of the importance of the topic and the use to which the information may be put. In cities and towns particularly, the provision of piped water is normally a public responsibility and data ooncerning the areas lacking this facility may provide the basis for extending municipal systems. where individual l~ving quarters

located in areas to whioh municipal systems have bee'l extended are found to be \ii t.hout piped water systems the data may pr-ovLde the basis for initiating local sanitation programmes.

237. The per cent of oecupied permanent and semi-permanent housing units with piped water inside the housing unit or outside but within

100 metres is regarded as a basio indicator for the Statistioal Indioators of Houeing Conditions (paragraphs 23 - 26) and for the housing oomponent of the International Definition and Measurement of Levels of Living:

An Interim Guide (paragr-aph 37). In fact, the im90rtance of a safe water supply is such that- countries- should perhaps consider extending the indicators to all housing units in urban areas: it would be profit-less to attempt this in most rural areas because of the Widespread laok of proteoted water supplies outside the towns •

Tabulation 13. Occupied kermanent and semi-permanent housing units and number of occupants, by availability of a room reserved for cooking

238. The information on the existence of a room which is reserved exolusively for cooking is important as an aspect of the adequaoy of the available housing. The tabulation is a simple statement, in

regard to permanent and semi-permanent housing units, of whether there is or is not a room reserved for oooking and the total number of oocupants who live in permanent and semi-permanent housing units with and without

such a faoility. If information has been oolleoted on whether the

kitohen is for the exclusive use of the occupants of tile living quarters, or shared between two or more sets of living quarters, this should be inoorporated in the tabulation •

Tabulation 14. Occupied permanent and semi-p3rmanent housing units and number of Occupants, by type of toilet facility

239. From this tabulation data may be obtained on the number of permanent and semi-permanent housing units with the number of occupants and the type of toilet facilities available to them. The extent to which the housing units (particularly those located in

closely-popuiede~s)'

are equipped with satisfactory means of disposing of human waste is extremely important from a health point of view.

240. This tabulation of toilet facilities provides the minimum data required for an evaluation of permanent and semi-permanent housing units aocording to the facilities available, and the information will permit the computation of indicators included in Statistical Indicators of Housing Conditions (paragraphs 38-40) and in the housing component of the International Definition and Measurement of Levels of Living: An Interim Guide (paragraphs

37-40).

241. The classification provides information concerning the availability of particular types of toilets (other than flush) which are prevalent and characteristic in each country. The tabulation also shows whether the toilet facilities are used exclusively by the occupants of the housing units or are shared with the occupants of other housing units.

For housing units reported as having no facilities the tabulation may

be extended to reflect whether the occupants USe a communal tOilet, whether they Use the toilet facilities of ether housing units or whether there

are no facilities available for their use.

242. The geographic classification is subject to modification acoording to the proposed use of tne datao The proximity of a public sewage system to the housing units will frequently be the factor which determines whether

..

or not the living quarters oan be eqUipped with a flush toilet. I t Will, therefore, be of interest to city planners to obtain information on the location of housing units without flush toilets both within and beyond the areas to which the public sewage system is extended; this may require data for small areas. The proportion of housing units with flush toilet

E/C!: .14/CAS.5/CJ:-H/1U

P"c~e 102

has quite different implio~tions in oities and towns from the ~roportion

in rural or sparsely popuLate e areas, moreover, the type of arrangement considered satisfactory in rural areas, may not COme up to the standards established by public health authorities for urban areas and thus some differentiation of the data by rural and urban is neoessary for its oorreot ~terp~tation.

Tabulation 16. Permanent and semi-permanent housing units, by tYpe of construotion material

245.

The tabulation prcvides information cn the number 0f permanent and semi-permanent housing units by the materials of construction of the roof, the walls and the floor, that is to say, the data will show the extent to which the varicus elements of the two types of housing units are constructed of materials which are durable, fire-proof, and

suitable to the prevailing weather conditions. Selected combinations of materials of roof, valls and floor may then be used as oriteria for a more detailed assessment of "acceptability" of the housing units than is provided by the preliminary division intc permanent and semi-permanent units.

246.

It should be no~ed that infcrmation on the roofs and floors is included, in addition to the information on walls, becauss government policy is being increasingly directed towards helping householdS to equip their houses with improved roofing materials, while the question of flooring is important both in providing protection against infections from the soil and in ensuring against, daIijpness.·

241.

If in the housing census data hav~ been collected. on year (or period) of construction of the housing unit (~~ th~ building in which it is

located) it would be most useful to cros&-classify the information on materials of construction, at least of the walls; with the year of construction. This cross-classification would help to clarify a number of questions on which information is usually lacking in this stage of

the development of housing statistics in the region; further reference is made in the discussion of the uses of Tabulation

Tabulation 17. Households and persons in permanent and semi-permanent housing units, by tenure

248. The above tabulation yields data showing the type of tenure under which households occupy their living space. The data are tabulated in terms of households rather than _hou~ing·units in order to show more clearly the tenure status of households sharing housing units. The nUlIlber of owner-occupied:perll1anent arid· semi-permanent housing units can be obtained from the tabulation from the corresponding figures for owner households in each category; an_{. . .} approxima~~onfor. rented units

_._.- . . .

could be obtained by subtracting the nUlIlber of owner-oocupied units

from the total occupied permanent and.se.lIli~permanenthousing units shown in Tabulations

9

and other tables.

249. The extent to which households ⁰¹⁰¹ or rent the accommodation which they occupy is of special significance for housing programmes. Housing programmes frequently include special provisions for assistance to owner-occupiers for the maintenanoe or improveme~t ~f their housing units, and housing policy is invariably concerned with rent levels and the population Li.keLy :to be a:ffected·bY rent policy. The number of house-holds occupying their living quarters as sub-tenants is indicative of

the seriousness of the housing shortage and sUCh

house~olds

^{will be}

of primary concern in formulating housing programmes. In some coun-tries a separate category may be tabulated for households that oooupy their living quarters free of cash rent.
