See main article: Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics. 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. 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.
| Level | Subdivisions | NUTS codes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NUTS 1 | — | 1 | CY0 Cyprus | |
| NUTS 2 | — | 1 | CY00 Cyprus | |
| NUTS 3 | — | 1 | CY000 Cyprus |
See main article: Local administrative unit.
Below 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 |
