Description
This includes all consumption and/or expenditures for transportation and communication plus the value of transportation and communication received as gifts.
Includes all expenses on land, air and water transport fare; personal transport expenses such as gasoline, oil, repair and washing, purchase of spare parts, etc.; telephone bills, postage stamps, telegrams, moving fees, driving lesson fees, feeds for animals use for transportation, etc.
This should also include regular transportation and communication expenses of the family like the amount spent on regular trips made by the family members to and from the office, school, market, church, etc., and trips made during special occasions of the family, salary paid to the family driver, telephone bills, bus service fees, taxi fare, etc.
Do not include transport expenses incurred in relation to job or business trip taken by a member of the family. Exclude also plane fare of a contract or regular worker going to his job destination if the fare was paid by the employer.
Include all expenditures resulting from land, sea or air travel for personal purposes of any member of the family during the reference period whether the travel is within or to/from a destination outside the country.
If the family member uses the vehicle(s) intended for business purposes impute for the cost of transport incurred and enter in the "total column" portion. They should be treated as if the family actually paid for the transport. Do not forget to include the same amount as gross receipt In Section L.
There are transportation and communication expenditures which may be incurred by the family not on a regular basis that is, once a year, twice a year, etc., as in the case of family members calling/visiting their relatives from other provinces/
countries only on special occasions like birthdays, fiestas, or family reunions. In such cases, ask from the respondent the estimate of the expenses incurred during a particular period and get the average monthly expenditure by dividing the total with 6.
Possible items under this item where the "average monthly" concept can be applied are the airplane transport, maintenance and repair, other personal transport expenses and other transportation and communication expenses.
Only the cost of the operations and upkeep of a family vehicle for family use only such as the amount spent for gasoline, oil, washing, repair, overhaul, purchase of spare parts, etc., are to be included. If a family owns an animal-drawn mode of transportation, the amount spent on the feeds and care for the animal will also be reported in this item. If, on the other hand, the family has a family vehicle used partly for business purposes, ask the respondent to estimate the amount of gasoline used for the trips made solely for private purposes of the family.
The purchase of vehicle, say the family car, is not included in this item but will be recorded in I3. Item 6 - Durable Furnishing/Equipment. Likewise, driver's license and vehicle registration fees are to be entered under I3. Item 7- Taxes.
For telephone bills (whether for landline or cell phone), encourage the respondent to show you the official receipts of the billing statements so that the interviewing of this part would be much faster than if records are not used. Also, the data obtained directly from the telephone bills are the most accurate information available.
For pre-paid cards (landline/and or cell phone), include the amount used by the family member for the month or the monthly average within the six month period. Also include costs of pre-paid cards received as gifts, or those which are received from "pasaload".
The internet is now used as a means of communication. Ascertain whether any member of the sample family uses the internet. If there are family members using internet, ask for the monthly subscription they are paying. Also, include in this item the monthly average prepaid internet cards bought by the sample family.
Also, report the services and materials for transportation and communication received as gifts by the family from other individuals/families during the past month.
Includes all expenses on land, air and water transport fare; personal transport expenses such as gasoline, oil, repair and washing, purchase of spare parts, etc.; telephone bills, postage stamps, telegrams, moving fees, driving lesson fees, feeds for animals use for transportation, etc.
