Interviewer instructions
Please capture the floor finish(refers to final materials applied on the floor) material. For example, a house could have a cement floor which has been caped by tiles in this case the floor finish is tiles and not cement.
Other decorative materials such as carpets should not be considered as floor finish material. Do not assume since in some dwelling units the sitting room might have tiles while the rest of the house is simply cement floor. Always confirm with the respondent is the floor finish material is uniform in the whole house. For cases where a mixture of floor finish is applied, code the one that covers the greatest floor surface.
Improved earth floor refers to traditional attempts to improve the floor using cow dung for instance in some communities.
