Remote Rural Regions

  • Year: 2008
  • Author: Lewis Dijkstra and Hugo Poelman

This short paper describes the characteristics of remote rural regions and how remoteness can be defined and measured. This new approach combines a new classification of remoteness, based on driving time to the closest city, with the OECD classification of regions into predominantly urban, intermediate and predominantly rural regions.
