V. EXPLANATION OF CONCEPTS

Actual place of residence is the administrative (rural, úrban) area from where the active earner enumerated goes to work every day, independently of the registration of his/her address being permanent or temporary. Length of time of travelling means the totál time spent on the journey to work and returning home from there as well as on waiting for transport. Manner of travelling means the forms of approaching the working place by the kind of transport used. Those, who don't use vehicles and those whose working place and dwelling are in the same building are indicated as "on foot" and "don't travel", respectively. Persons working abroad, occasional workers and agricultural day labourers, independently of the tranport they use, alsó belong among those who "don't travel". Conmuting A daily cocnmuter is the active earner who goes every day to work from his/her actual place of residence to his/her working place to an other úrban or rural area. An active earner living on the spot is one who lives actually (either with a permanent or with a temporary registration) in the respective area, independently of where his/her working place is. An active earner working in the place of his/her residence is one whose actual place of residence and working place are in the same úrban or rural area. An active earner working on the spot is one whose working place is in the respective locality, independently of whether he/she lives inside or outside its administrative boundaries. An out-going active earner is one whose working place (where he/she goes actually to work) is not in the same locality as his/her actual residence. From the point of view of the area of the working place he/she is an in-coming active earner. Active earners out-going (in-coming) within a county are those whose actual place of residence and the locality of their working place are in the same county but in different localities. Active earners out-going to (in-coming from) other counties are those who go out, come in, to work to, respectively, from localities outside the respective county. Out-going (in-coming) to (from) another county is limited to the counties around the capital or a specific county as well as to the distant counties bordering on them. In the case of the retrospective data of commuting active earners it was not possible, for technical reasons, to reprocess changes resulting from the unifications and separations of localities having taken place in the meantime and affecting the number of commuting active earners. In the case of the processing of the data of 1970 and 1980, the basis of the assignment by commuting of the active earners having alsó a temporary residence, was their temporary place of residence, instead of their actual one. HOUSEHOLD The household is the circle of persons living together in a common dwelling or in one of its parts, bear together partly or completely the costs of living and, as usual, take their meals together on one or several days of the week. Persons living in the same dwelling but on the basis of independent tenures are not considered as persons living in the same household even if the above conditions are fulfilled. Consequently, the owner or the tenant (partner tenant) does not form a common household with his/her subtenant, bed-tenant. Co-tenants can't form a common household either. If the household consists of one family, the family and the household are practically identical, this is a one-fa«ily household. If several families manage a common household, this is a more-family 264
