This survey poses questions on property and its utilisation as well as on the renting of rooms in private households as a second occupation to all households documented in the Mikrozensus. Questions on enterprise structure are posed to all households with an agricultural enterprise. The survey is conducted along with the “agricultural and silvicultural establishment census” (reference date 1st June 1980), which covers all agricultural and silvicultural enterprises larger than ½ hectare. This prohibits the census the use of gardens and allotment gardens unconnected with agricultural and silvicultural enterprises. However, since these gardens are of great politico-economic importance, information on them is gathered via the Mikrozensus with the method of sampling. For reasons of distinction, agricultural and silvicultural enterprises have to be recorded separately in this Mikrozensus. This also offers the possibility to gather information on certain features of agricultural and silvicultural enterprises via sampling. These would not appear in the census (e.g. vegetable cultivation). In the Mikrozensus from June 1970 (Mikrozensus MZ7002) there had already been a similar special program.
