Urban Criteria for Settlements (UN):
Cities and urban-type localities, officially designated as such, usually according to criteria regarding the number of inhabitants and the pre-dominance of non-agricultural workers and their families.
Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
The spatial administrative ad.gors. units of Gori, Zugdidi, and Marneuli have separate polygons within the rayon boundaries. The 2002 population data does not account for these areas. It was thus necessary to: (1) extrapolate the 2001 city population data for the three units using the UN 2000 Revision Medium Variant Projections and (2) subtract the ad gors. population totals from their corresponding 2002 to adjust the rayon population figures. There are 13 places in Georgia that are currently considered uncontrolled territories. The 2002 population estimate reports a single figure for the combined areas. However, the 1989 population provides individual figure for each area. Thus, the proportional growth of each of the 13 territories was calculated between 1989 and 2002 to extrapolate the 1989 figures to 2002.
