Definition: Forests and other uninhabitable areas
Category: Regional statistics
The recommendation is to include forests and other uninhabitable regions in the surface area. However, the German case with areas outside any commune can be solved by creating pseudo-communes, having surface area but most often no inhabitants. Wetlands and mires are proposed to be included in the surface area, except such wetlands which are due to tidewater. Wetlands in tidewater areas are classified according to the recommendations for the coastline.
