Persons per Room Criteria 25-02-2024 INSTITUTE OF COMMUNITY MEDICINE 56
SEX SEPARATION CRITERIA According to this criterion, overcrowding is considered to be present if two persons, above 9 years of age, of opposite sexes, not husband and wife, must sleep in the same room. ‘Must sleep in the same room’, means that there is no other option but to share the room. Rooms used as bedroom, sitting room, prayer room, dining room, servant’s room - all are considered as living rooms and therefore counted and measured for assessing overcrowding. Kitchen, bathroom, latrine, store, garage etc. are not considered as living rooms. However, a room used in common for living purpose and as kitchen or store is also considered as living room. 25-02-2024 INSTITUTE OF COMMUNITY MEDICINE 57
LIGHT Good lighting is essential for efficient vision If the lighting conditions are not ideal, the visual apparatus is put to strain which may lead to general fatigue and loss of efficiency if one is able to read news print in all the corners and the center of the room and also in the darkest portion of the room, without help of artificial light during day time the lighting can be considered adequate, provided there is no glare and the light does not directly fall in the eyes. 25-02-2024 INSTITUTE OF COMMUNITY MEDICINE 58
VENTILATION Every living room should be provided with at least two windows with at least one of these opening directly on to an open space. Doors and windows should be so placed as to allow cross ventilation. Total window area should be 1/5th of the floor area. • The total area of the doors and the windows taken together should be 2/5th of the floor area. 25-02-2024 INSTITUTE OF COMMUNITY MEDICINE 59
