Description of Area Types
Core
1 C = a single city region
2 C1 = multiple city region with no employment in agriculture
3 C2 = contains one or more urban area’s (UA) with a population density ≥ 2 thousand / km2
4 C3 = contains one or more urban area’s with a population density ≥ 1 thousand / km2
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
