Description
Text
the type of building/house occupied by the family:
1 Single - is an independent residential structure intended for one household, separated by an open space or walls from all other structures. It includes the so-called “nipa hut” or a small house that is built as a more or less permanent housing unit, or a barong-barong which is made of salvaged/makeshift/improvised materials.
2 Duplex - is a residential structure intended for two households, with complete living facilities for each. It is divided vertically or horizontally into two separate housing units which are usually identical.
3 Multi-unit residential (three units or more) - is a building intended for residential use only, consisting of three or more housing units. These houses may consist of one or more storeys in a row of three or more housing units, separated from each other by walls extending from the ground to the roof, or a building having floors to accommodate three or more housing units.
Examples:
a. Apartment - an apartment is a structure usually of several entrances from internal hall or court. An apartment has one common entrance from the outside.
b. Accesoria - is usually a one or two floor structure divided into three or more housing units, each unit having its own separate entrance from the outside. An accesoria is sometimes referred to as a row house.
c. Condominium - a condominium is usually a high-rise building where the housing units are owned individually but the land and other areas and facilities are owned in common.
Note: A building that was originally constructed as a single house or duplex, but now partitioned into three or more rooms/group of rooms (with separate entrance from a common hall or passage) without changing the outside structure or appearance, will be classified as a single house or duplex, as the case may be.
4 Commercial/industrial/agricultural (office, factory, and others) - These refer to buildings which are not intended mainly for human habitation but are used as living quarters of households at the time of the survey.
A commercial building is a building built for transacting business or for rendering professional services, such as a store, office, warehouse, rice mill, and others.
An industrial building is a building built for processing, assembling, fabricating, finishing, and manufacturing or packaging operations, such as a factory or a plant.
An agricultural building is any structure built for agricultural purposes, such as a barn, table, poultry house, granary, and others.
5 Institutional living quarters - Hotels, motels, inns, boarding houses, dormitories, and pension or lodging houses fall into this category. This group comprises permanent structures which provide lodging and/or meals on fee basis. Institutional buildings are buildings intended for persons confined to receive medical, charitable or other care/treatment such as hospitals and orphanages, for persons detained such as jails and penal colonies, and other buildings like convents, school dormitories, and others.
Also included in this category are camps which are defined sets of premises originally intended for the temporary accommodation of persons with common activities or interests like military camps, and other camps established for the housing of workers in mining, agriculture, public works, or other types of enterprises.
6 Other housing units - These refer to living quarters which are neither intended for human habitation nor located in permanent buildings but are nevertheless, used as living quarters at the time of the survey. Caves, trailers, barges, carts, boats, and others, fall into this category.
