The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is a geocode standard used for referencing the subdivisions of Cyprus for statistical purposes.[1] The standard is developed and regulated by the European Union.[2] The NUTS standard is instrumental in delivering the European Union's Structural Funds. The NUTS code assigned to Cyprus is CY, and Eurostat has established a hierarchical structure consisting of three levels. However, Cyprus does not have subdivisions covered by the NUTS levels, as its population is small enough to be covered within a single level.
In addition to the NUTS levels, there are further levels of geographic organisation known as the local administrative units (LAU). In Cyprus, LAU 1 corresponds to districts, and LAU 2 represents municipalities. These divisions help in the administration and organization of statistical data at a local level.
Overall and NUTS codes
edit| Level | Subdivisions | # | NUTS codes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NUTS 1 | — | 1 | CY0 Cyprus |
| NUTS 2 | — | 1 | CY00 Cyprus |
| NUTS 3 | — | 1 | CY000 Cyprus |
Local administrative units
editBelow the NUTS levels, the two LAU (Local Administrative Units) levels are:
| Level | Subdivisions | # |
|---|---|---|
| LAU 1 | Districts (Eparchies) | 6 |
| LAU 2 | Municipalities, communities (Dimoi, koinotites) | 615 |
