Definition
""An establishment is considered rural if the majority of the work force is focused on agriculture, forestry and/or fishing, offers a specific and sustainable lifestyle for its inhabitants. The rural administrative environment is made up by communes. Communes are administrative-territorial units which includes the rural population united in common interests and traditions and are composed by more villages. A village is a small establishment not having more than 1000 inhabitants."
