1990 POPULATION CENSUS Detailed data based on a 2 per cent representative sample (1992)

V. EXPLANATION OF CONCEPTS

HOUSING UNIT The housing unit is a room or group of rooms (places) built or transformed for dwelling, independently of occupancy as well as a room or group of rooms (places) built for other purpuses but used as a dwelling at the census moment. The concept of the housing unit includes: — dwellings (its concept see further); — other occupied housing units, which may be: — places related to economic activities (strore-room, press-house, stable etc, as well as within the residential buildings a workshop, laundry, shop, garage etc.) in which at least one person lived at the census moment without a technical-architectural transformation; — occupied places of a temporary, mobile or other establishment (hut, hővel, barrack, shanty, house on wheels, car-body, wagon, barge, cavern etc.); — institutional households which serve for the collective accommodation or accomodation and board for at least five persons (infants' or children's homes, students

1 halls, ,workers' hostels, social homes, hotels, holiday homes, home-houses, hospitals etc.). The data of the occupied other housing units and institutional households are not included in the housing data. This accounts for the difference between the data of the resident population of the dwellings on the one hand and the data of the resident population shown in other chapters of the volume, on the other. DWELLING The dwelling is a unit of places and rooms of specified destinations (living rooms, cooking places, sanitary places etc.), generally connected with each other technically (architecturally), built originally for humán accommodation, stay (home) or transformed into dwelling and alsó suitable for living at present, which has a separate entrance from a public place, courtyard or from a collectively used place inside the building (staircase, corridor etc.). Besides, the strict concept of housing requires the possibility of assigning the respective group of places to a comfort level. Consequently, so-called temporary accommodations and other lodgings (see the levels of comfort in detail) which cannot be assigned to any category of comfort, don't belong to the housing stock. Since the data publications of the earlier population censuses left this reservation out of consideration, in order to assure comparability, all housing data in the volume refer to the totality of dwellings, temporary accommodations and other lodgings. The data of the temporary accommodations and other lodgings can be shown separately only in the tables containing alsó a detailed distribution by comfort levels. The housing units of home-houses (pensioners, room-tenants', young married couples' houses) are considered as dwellings if their inhabitants have a separate priváté household. Dwellings built for living but used only as offices, shops etc. or only for rest (week-end rest) at the census moment, don't belong to the scope of the enumeration. The group of technically (architecturally) adjoining places, connected with inner passages, were considered at the enumeration as one dwelling alsó in cases when the passages of one or several places were blocked temporarily but not walled (e.g. in cases of co-tenancy). A mostly separate place, building — e.g. the summer kitchen of detached family houses — built as a part of the dwelling was considered as part of the dwelling if it was used by the household living in the main building. However, a summer kitchen let to a subtenant, i.e. used by an outside household, forms a separate housing unit. The respective data are shown among those of the temporary accommodations or of other lodgings. If the 267
