^aThe BIK region size classes are a nationwide typology of settlement structure that takes into account commuting priorities, population/job density, and population size of the entire region when defining linkage areas. For this analysis, the typology was condensed to three categories: Periphery (BIK-regions up to 50,000 inhabitants), Environs (Surrounding municipalities of BIK-regions with 50,000 or more inhabitants) and Centers (Core areas of BIK-regions with 50,000 or more inhabitants).
