Defining Functional Rural Areas

Author

Listed:

Abstract

Functional Rural Areas describe central market towns and their hinterland. They allow for a better, i.e. more harmonised, comparison of socio-economic indicators. They are created as the rural counterpart of the Functional Urban Areas. Together they cover the entire territory. The methodology to create them is a draft, and feedback is warmly welcomed. This publication summarises the assumptions behind the delineation of Functional Rural Areas, and highlights some of the benefits of using them for statistical analysis.
