      Metainformation:Last modified: new data (2018) Survey reference day: Start of January Regionalisation: Cantons / 1.1.1997 Survey: Farm Structure Survey STRUSymbols used: ' ... ' : Number unknown because not (yet) surveyed or not (yet) calculated '( )' : Not available because not sufficiently statistically reliableNotes Level 1: Degree of detail of the classification of the farms' utilised agricultural areas and animals (most aggregated level).The data for the years 1975, 1980, 1985 and 1990 differ from those in the print publications. The data currently published for these years have been adapted to the definition of an agricultural holding that has been valid since 1996.Agricultural holding: An agricultural business that - carries out crop production and/or livestock farming throughout the entire year; - includes one or more production plants; - is autonomous legally, economically, organisationally and financially and independent from other farms; - has its own operating result; - is farmed throughout the entire year An agricultural holding complies with the following minimum standards: - 1 ha utilised agricultural area (UAA) or - 30 ares of special crops or - 10 ares of protected crops or - 8 sows or - 80 fattening pigs or - 80 fattening pig places or - 300 poultry unitsStatistical unit: The statistical unit is the agricultural holding (see definition). The areas, livestock and employees published here are those from agricultural holdings. Therefore, it is possible that the figures may be lower than the Swiss totals, because these do not include units that are not considered to be agricultural holdings; this is particularly relevant for horse and bee populations.CantonThe canton in which the business is locally registered. A business can only be registered in one canton even if the areas are partly situated in another canton. It is therefore possible that a canton registers crops that are not situated in the canton territory such as vineyards, tobacco, etc.; it may also be possible that the UAA shown for a canton does not correspond to its actual effective area.Area of agricultural productionIn order to take greater account of the different agricultural production conditions in relation to the Confederation's support measures, Switzerland's agricultural area is divided into several zones. The most important delimitation criteria are climate, transport situation, topography of the land, altitude and exposure.Farmholding systemEin Landwirtschaftsbetrieb wird als Biobetrieb bezeichnet, wenn ein Teil oder die Gesamtheit seiner landwirtschaftlichen Nutzfläche biozertifiziert ist.Farmholding formBetrieb mit einem Arbeitsvolumen von mindestens 1500 Stunden/Jahr (gemäss ART-Normen) und auf dem der Betriebsleiter zu mindestens 50% der Erwerbstätigkeit angestellt ist.Observation unitFamily employeesThis category includes the farm manager, his/her immediate family, i.e. father, mother, brothers, sisters and children aged 15 and over who work on the farm.Farmholding formFull-time farmFarm with a work volume of at least 1500 hours/year (pursuant to ART norms) and on which the farm manager is employed with a work-time percentage of at least 50%.

The minimum surface area for a forest enterprise is defined differently depending on the forest area in which it is located: - Jura 200 ha - Central Plain 150 ha - Prealps 250 ha - Alps/Southern Alps 500 haComment This cube continues the data from the 2004-2014 cube with a new statistical population.

      We define our day as midnight-to-midnight, Pacific time. Cities represent usage in greater metropolitan areas and are stably defined during this period. In many countries/regions and cities, relative volume has increased since January 13th, consistent with normal, seasonal usage of Apple Maps. Day of week effects are important to normalize as you use this data. Data that is sent from users’ devices to the Maps service is associated with random, rotating identifiers so Apple doesn’t have a profile of your movements and searches. Apple Maps has no demographic information about our users, so we can’t make any statements about the representativeness of our usage against the overall population. This information will be available for a limited time during the COVID‑19 pandemic.

      The Regional Database contains annual data from 1995 to the most recent available year. The data collection is undertaken by the Directorate of Public Governance and Territorial Development, within the Regional Development Policy division (GOV/RDP). Statistics are collected through an annual questionnaire sent to the delegates of the Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI), and through access to the web-sites of National Statistical Offices and Eurostat. The WPTI is responsible for developing regional (subnational) and urban statistics and providing analysis to support policy evaluations. The Regional Database includes statistics on the regional distribution of resources, regional disparities, and how regions contribute to national growth and the well-being of society. Under this framework, the Regional Database is one of the pillars for providing indicators to the publication OECD Regions at a Glance (link).

      The Regional Database contains annual data from 1995 to the most recent available year (generally 2014 for demographic and labour market data, 2013 for regional accounts, innovation and social statistics).   In any analytical study conducted at sub-national levels, the choice of the territorial unit is of prime importance. The territorial grids (TL2 and TL3) used in this database are officially established and relatively stable in all member countries, and are used by many as a framework for implementing regional policies. This classification - which, for European countries, is largely consistent with the Eurostat classification - facilitates greater comparability of regions at the same territorial level. The differences with the Eurostat NUTS classification concern Belgium, Greece and the Netherlands where the NUTS 2 level correspond to the OECD TL3 and Germany where the NUTS1 corresponds to the OECD TL2 and the OECD TL3 corresponds to 97 spatial planning regions (Groups of Kreise). For the United Kingdom the Eurostat NUTS1 corresponds to the OECD TL2. Due to limited data availability, labour market indicators in Canada are presented for a different grid (groups of TL3 regions). Since these breakdowns are not part of the OECD official territorial grids, for the sake of simplicity they are labelled as Non Official Grids (NOG).

      Definitions:By definition, the FSO's road vehicle stock includes all civilian vehicles registered on 30 September belonging to owners who were resident in Switzerland on the day of reference. The commune of residence is defined by the postal code and postal locality in the owner's address. Analysis of these addresses has recently been improved, resulting in a backdated correction of fleet data from the years 2005 and 2006. Discrepancies in the stock by canton are roughly under 2% or in most cases less than one in a thousand.Canton The canton is defined by the owner's address and not by the registration plate.
