Description

Definition
This term describes one of the following: Villa, house, apartment and other as (marginal, or tent...etc):

Villa: A separately established building that is usually constructed from clean stone. It is constructed for the living of one household and consists of a 2 - suite - single or double or multiple stories connected through internal stairs. One of the suites is constructed as bedrooms whereas the second suite is constructed for reception and involves the kitchen and other related services. In general, the villa is surrounded by a garden, regardless of the area of this garden, which is surrounded by boarding wall or fence. Villas normally have roofed parking area (garage). Villas also may include separate small building or extension as part of them.
House: A building usually established for the residence of one household or more; it is the typical form of residential buildings prevailing in Palestine. The house may be comprised of single story or more that is utilized by a single household. Nevertheless, if the house is divided into housing units each of which has its own utilities and occupied by a different household, each housing unit would be classified as an apartment.
Apartment: It is a part of a building or a house, consisting of one room or more and annexed with kitchen, bathroom and toilet, which are all, closed by external door, leading to the road through a stair way and/or path way. It is prepared usually for one household.
Independent Room: It is a separate room with no kitchen, bathroom nor toilet, but sharing with other households these basic services, and it is prepared for living.
Other: It refers to any type of building other than the aforementioned. Examples of this type include tent, marginal, cottages, caves, grottos, and booths occupied by a tenant during the survey.
