V. EXPLANATION OF CONCEPTS

2 hall, pantry, closed veranda furnished with glass, hall, alcoves of a floor-space under 4 m , lavatory, summer kitchen etc.) LEVEL OF COMFORTS By level of comforts the dwellings were grouped in two ways. The more simple and more aggregated grouping, taking into consideration only the availability of a bath-room (wash-basin alcove) and of a flush toilet inside the dwelling, assures comparability with the 1960 and earlier data. In this grouping, dwellings with all modern comforts do not yet form a separate category but are indicated among those with comforts. The simplified levels of comforts are the following: — a dwelling with comforts is one which has a bathroom (wash-basin alcove) and alsó a flush toilet; — a dwelling with half-comfort is one which has either a bathroom (wash-basin alcove) or a flush toilet; — a dwelling without comforts is one which has neither bathroom (wash-basin alcove) nor flush toilet. (Temporary accommodations and other lodgings, e.g. dwellings consisting of a single place, alsó belong to this group.) The 1990 data are published already in a detailed breakdown by levels of comforts. This grouping corresponds practically to the official prescriptions with regard to housing and public construction. (Only the thickness of the outer wall of the rooms, possible underground-level situation and the impact of co-tenancy reducing comforts were left out of consideration.) At the same time, in order to satisfy international data demands, alsó dwellings which cannot be considered even as temporary accommodations, 2 those without a room or only with a room of a floor-space of 6 m or smaller or only with a single place are presented as so-called other lodgings. The detailed level of conforts are the following: A dwelling with all modern conforts is one which has at least 2 — a living-room of a floor-space over 12 m , a place for cooking, a bathroom and a flush toilet (in the bathroom or separately), — public utilites (eletricity and waterconduit, sewage disposal), — hot water (district-, block-, individual central or separate central hot water supply for one dwelling from electric boiler, gas boiler or bath-stove), and — central heating (district, block, individual central or separate central heating for one dwelling). A dwelling with conforts has at least 2 — a living-room of a floor-space over 12 m , a place for cooking, a bathroom (wash-basin alcove) and a flush toilet, — is supplied with public Utilities and — hot water and — individual heating (gas heating, stove heating with solid fuel or oil, electric water-heater). A dwelling with half-comfort has at least 2 — a living-room of a floor-space over 12 m and a place for cooking and a bathroom (wash-basin alcove) or flush-toilet, — is supplied with public Utilities (at least with electric lighting and water supply) and 270
