Interviewer instructions
You are supposed to code the answers using the categories provided below:
01 Sand/Earth: This is when there is no artificial material on the floor. The floor is only the natural environment (earth or sand).
02 Cement: If the floor of the house is constructed with cement and covered with tiles. Mark “X” in the appropriate box (code “06”).
03 Mud/clay: This is usually found in traditional houses. It is treated or seasoned mud/clay, which is sometimes mixed with cow dung. Write down code “03” if the floor is constructed with mud or clay.
02 Wood: Sometimes the floor of a housing unit may be constructed from wooden planks, usually this type of floor is mainly found at the coast. Therefore, if the floor is made of wood then write down code 04.
05 Concrete: This type of flooring material is mainly used or found in multi storey buildings i.e. between first and top floor.
06 Tiles (Ceramic/plastic/wood): This is when the floor is cement or concrete covered with tiles
