  1. Part I – Rural Development Statistics Handbook Chapter III Eurostat’s views

  2. Part I – Rural Development Statistics • So far an official definition of “rural” does not exist in EU • It is difficult to find such a definition, thanks to diversity of MS • For the time being we are using two approaches:  OECD concept and  degree of urbanisation concept

  3. Part I – Rural Development StatisticsDegree of urbanisation concept Three types of areas are distinguished: • (1) densely populated area: set of local areas, with a density > 500 I/km2, and a total population of at least 50.000 inhabitants. • (2) intermediate area: set of local areas, not belonging to (1) with a density > 100 I/km2, and either with a total population of at least 50.000 inhabitants or adjacent to (1).

  4. Part I – Rural Development StatisticsDegree of urbanisation concept • (3) thinly populated area: set of local areas, neither belonging to a (1) or (2). • Set of local areas less than 100 km2, not reaching the required density, but entirely enclosed within (1) or (2), is considered to form part of that area. • If enclosed within (1) and (2) it is considered to form part of (2).

  5. Part I – Rural Development Statistics other tested approaches • Combining the OECD concept with land cover data (DG AGRI, 2004) • Using population density as the main criterion but with a relative threshold (in relation to average national population densities) (DG EUROSTAT)

  6. Part I – Rural Development Statistics studies conducted to identify indicators • PAIS report (Proposal on Agri-Environmental Indicators) • Hay report (Rural Indicators and Rural Development) • Identification of important issues • Identification of indicators • Testing of data availability in MS

  7. Part I – Rural Development StatisticsData collection exercise (1) • Eurostat’s data collection exercise Phase:  to cover axis 3 of DG AGRI, aiming at improving quality of life in rural areas and diversification of rural economies. • Indicators to be collected at NUTS 3 level (NUTS Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics)

  8. Part I – Rural Development StatisticsData collection exercise (2) • In Phase II this exercise will be repeated after review and indicators for axis 1 (Increasing the competitiveness of the agricultural sector) and axis 2 (improving the environment and landscape) will be included.

  9. Part I – Rural Development StatisticsData collection exercise (3) • In Phase III the “full set” of reviewed indicators will be collected to check if routine collection is possible.

  10. Part I – Rural Development StatisticsData collection exercise Will mainly cover the following issues: Demography – Migration  Economy –Human Capital  Accessibility to services – Infrastructure  Social well-being
