Information on the type of area in which the building housing the sample household is located will be recorded against this item in terms of codes.For households in rural areas, codes 4 and 9 will only be applicable.
To collect this information, apart from the informant belonging to the sample household, some knowledgeable persons of the locality may have to be contacted. For a household living under a tree or bridge, in a pipe, or on a footpath without a structure etc. code 4 will be recorded and items 2 to 11 of this block will be left blank.
If the house is situated in a slum area, then code 1 will be recorded if the area is notified as a slum by the municipality or other appropriate authorities, otherwise code 2 will be recorded. Sometimes an area develops into an unauthorised settlement with unauthorised structures put up by “squatters”. Such an area, if not categorised as a slum area, will be considered as a “squatter settlement” and houses in such an area will get code 3. For all other areas code 9 will be recorded against this item.
