5    C4   = contains one or more urban area’s with a population density ≥ 500 / km2

6 C5   = a single national urban area with a population density (PD) < 500 / km2

Adjacent

7   A   = any adjacent region which completely surrounds a core region

8   A1   = any region adjacent to a core with one or more UA’s with a PD between 100 - 500 / km2

9   A2   = any region adjacent to a core with one or more UA’s with a PD between 50 - 99 / km2

10  A3   = any region adjacent to a core with one or more UA’s with a PD less than 50 / km2

pERipHERY

11   P1   = a region bordering on an adjacent or other periphery with one or more UA’s with PD ≥100 / km2

12  P2   = a region bordering on an adjacent or other periphery with one or more UA’s with PD ≥ 50 / km2

13  P3   = a region bordering on an adjacent or other periphery with one or more UA’s with PD ≥ 20 / km2

14  P4   = a region bordering on an adjacent or other periphery with one or more UA’s with PD < 20 / km2

isLAND pERipHERY

15  iP1  = a peripheral island region with one or more UA’s with a PD ≥100 / km2

16  iP2  = a peripheral island region with one or more UA’s with a PD ≥ 50, / km2

17  iP3  = a peripheral island region with one or more UA’s with a PD between 20 - 49 / km2

18  IP4  = a peripheral island region with one or more UA’s with a PD < 20 / km2
