An urbanized area in Croatia can gain the status of ''grad'' (which can be translated as town or city as there is no distinction between the two terms in Croatian) if it meets one of the following requirements: # is the center of a county (''županija''), or # has more than 10,000 residents, or # is defined by an exception ''Grad'' (city/town) is the local administrative equivalent of ''općina'' (translated as "municipality"), with the only distinction being that the former usually comprise urban areas whereas the latter commonly consist of a group of villages. Note that both municipalities and city/towns often comprise more than one settlement, as the administrative territory of a ''grad'' may include suburban villages or hamlets near the city/town in question. Individual settlements (or ''naselje'' in Croatian) are the smallest statistical unit counted by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics but are not administrative entities, i.e. they are governed by the municipal or city/town council of the local administrative unit they belong to. *In 1991 there were 70 cities and towns and 419 municipalities in Croatia organized into 20 counties (plus the city of Zagreb which is both a city and a county).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Explanation on changes of the territorial constitution of the Republic of Croatia from 1991 to 2001 )〕 *In 2001 there were 122 cities and towns (excluding Zagreb) and 423 municipalities. This was the territorial division used for the 2001 census.〔 *In 2006 the latest revision was made, which listed a total of 127 cities and towns and 429 municipalities in Croatia. This division was used for the latest 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Census of Population, Households and Dwellings 2011 - Notes on Methodology )〕 *In 2013 the municipality of Popovača was upgraded to town, bringing the total to 128 cities and towns and 428 municipalities. ==List of cities and towns== The following is a complete list of all officially designated 128 cities/towns in Croatia, sorted by population according to the 2011 population census. At the time of the previous census in 2001 there had been 123 cities/towns in the country and four former municipalities were administratively upgraded to towns prior to the 2011 census: Vodnjan (in 2003), and Kutjevo, Otok, and Sveta Nedelja (in 2006). In addition, the table includes data for Popovača, also a former municipality which was re-designated as town in the latest administrative revision in April 2013. The Municipal column in the table lists total population within the geographical boundary of the local administrative subdivision. This means that the figure often includes other smaller settlements such as villages or hamlets located on the outskirts or near the city/town proper. In contrast, the Town proper column lists only population of the city/town proper, without the smaller settlements which administratively belong to the city. Both numbers are given as in some cases the figures may vary dramatically (for example Velika Gorica with nearby settlements has a population of around 63,000 but the town proper has only 31,000 residents). Note that the town of Kaštela is a unique exception in that it only exists as an administrative unit - it is legally treated as an agglomeration of seven separate settlements with populations ranging from 3,000 to 7,000, none of which is actually called "Kaštela". Its town council is located in Kaštel Sućurac. Another set of exceptions arises from the special status of the City of Zagreb, which is considered both a county and a city, and is further subdivided into districts and into settlements. Unlike its other districts, the district of Sesvete still has the status of a standalone settlement with a population of about 70,000. This would make it a large city in itself, but it does not have the administrative status of a city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of cities and towns in Croatia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
