Classification of urban settlement

A cluster of buildings shall be registered as an urban settlement if it is inhabited by at least 200 persons. The distance between the buildings shall normally not exceed 50 metres. Distances more than 50 metres are allowed in areas that can not or should not be build up. This may for example be parks, facilities for sports, industrial areas and natural barriers such as rivers or arable land. Smaller clusters of buildings that naturally belong to the urban settlement should be included if situated in a distance up to 400 metres from the main urban settlement.
