Abstract
The present paper is based on a final report of a project carried out for the Ministry of Local Government and Labour (Helvig 1994). The report forms background material for a forthcoming ‘Report 10 rile Stortiitg’ (the Parliament) from the Ministry, on the county and municipal boundary situation in Norway. The aim of the study has been to define and delimit approximately 60 urban regions in Norway, using existing official statistics on population, urban settlements and commuting. Eleven major regions were selected for a more detailed and accurate delimitation and mapping of the commuting hinterlands of the central municipalities of the regions. This work uses commuting data from the 1990 Population Census, presented at enumeration district level.
