XIII. THE INTERPRETATION OF THE TERMS

DWELLING The grouping of the dwellings by comfort and other groupings were based on the following criterions: floor-space of rooms, kitchen and bathroom, flush toilet, electricity - piped water - sewage disposal, way of heating. According to these factors the degrees of comfortness are: 2 Full comfort: at least one room which is larger than 12 m, kitchen, bathroom and flush toilet, supply with public utilities, central heating. 2 Comfort: at least one room which is larger than 12 m , kitchen, bathroom, flush toilet, public utilities, individual heating. Half comfort: at least one room which is larger than 12 m

2, kitchen, bathroom, flush toilet, public utilities (at least electricity and piped water). No comfort: the dwelling which does not meet the requirements of half comfort, but has at least one room which is larger than 12 m^, and has either kitchen or bathroom or flush toilet, has either electricity or piped water conduit, or neither of them. Emergency dwelling I. 2 2 Those dwellings which have only one room which is larger than 6 m and smaller than 12 m , independent from the degree of facilities. Emergency dwelling II. 2 Those dwellings which have only one small room between 4 and 6 m , independent from the degree of facilities. Dwellings with no living/bedroom Those dwellings which consist of one room which can not be considered living/bedroom, independent of the degree of facilities. Marginal and mobile housing units We define tlje degree of facilities of dwelling houses on the basis of the degree of facilities of the flats, according to this: A dwelling house is considered having electricity and gas pipe, if at least one flat has such facilities. A dwelling house is considered having piped water if the tap of the piped water is within the building. A dwelling house is considered having central heating if at least one flat in the dwelling house has central heating. A dwelling house is considered equipped with sewage disposal if at least one flat in the dwelling house is connected to the sewage system. A dwelling house has organized disposal of refuse, if at least one flat in the dwelling house has organized disposal of refuse. In the comparisons with retrospective data, we had to take into consideration some conceptual differences in the different censuses. For this reason - in order to ensure the comparability on 1980 terms - we had to make estimations in some cases. In this volume we deal with topics which were not dealt with in the publications of other censuses or, at least not in details. Thus, in this publication the time series are sometimes not complete. 204
