Register of teritorial units

The objective of maintaining the Register of territorial units is to apply a unified approach and single
coding for territorial determinations and identification of existing and new-established territorial units, in
order to ensure efficient and effective data usage. Regarding the linking and application of the data of this
Register with other registers, this Register is envisaged for the whole social system of information.

The Register includes the records of enumeration districts that are created within statistical units for
the purpose of census of population.
As provided by legislation, the Geodetic Office of the RS is in charge of maintaining the graphic
part of the Register, while the SORS assigns registration numbers for territorial units.

The Register consists of alphanumeric and graphic data of all territorial units of the Republic of
Serbia: autonomous provinces, administrative districts, towns/cities, municipalities/city municipalities,
cadastral municipalities, settlements, local communities and statistical units.
The following data are maintained for every territorial unit:

1. title, description and registration number;

2. graphic presentation and defined boundaries, and data source;

3. data on territorial unit of higher territorial level, where the subject unit is a composite part;

4. data on changes (type, source, date).

The RDF vocabulary describing Serbian municipalities and regional classification is based on classifications by Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (http://webrzs.stat.gov.rs/WebSite/userFiles/file/O%20nama/Dokumenti/UredbaNSTJ.doc).
