This is a list of the regional county municipalities (RCM or MRC) and equivalent territories (TE) in the province of Quebec, Canada. They are given along with their geographical codes as specified by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy, and the administrative regions to which they belong. RCMs are units of government at the supralocal level. However, not all municipalities belong to an RCM. In order to use RCMs for statistical purposes, some municipalities (mostly Indian reserves) are viewed as belonging to RCMs they do not belong to legally. The possibly enlarged RCMs are called ''municipalités régionales de comté géographiques'' (MRCG) as opposed to the legal ones known as ''municipalités régionales de comté juridiques'' (MRCJ). The remaining municipalities are grouped into ''territories equivalent to an RCM'' (French: ''territoires équivalents à une MRC'') or TEs, which are also considered MRCGs. This way, MRCGs cover the entire territory of Quebec and do not overlap. There are 86 RCMs and 18 TEs in Quebec, for a total of 104 MRCGs. Twelve of the TEs correspond exactly to cities or urban agglomerations, and another two, Québec and La Tuque almost do. The only four exceptional cases are the TEs of Jamésie, Kativik and Eeyou Istchee. These cover large areas with many, mostly small, municipalities. Thanks to cooperation between the Institut de la statistique du Québec and Statistics Canada, RCMs and TEs correspond neatly to census divisions in most cases. See the section "Use as census divisions" below. For further details, see Regional county municipality. ==List== Municipalities with populations of at least 5,000 as of the 2006 Census are listed, with their legal status in parentheses. Those with populations over 20,000 are highlighted. The seat of the regional county municipality (RCM) is indicated with an asterisk ( *). If its population is less than 5,000, then it appears in italics. The information concerning (legal) RCMs, including their seats, is taken from the database of municipalities of the Ministère des Affaires municipales et régionales.〔(List of regional county municipalities and equivalent territories ) (PDF), Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune〕 Information concerning geographical RCMs is taken from a list published by the Ministère de la Faune et des Ressources naturelles.〔(List of regional county municipalities and equivalent territories ) (PDF), Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune〕 Relevant definitions can be obtained from the website of the Institut de la Statistique du Québec.〔(Lexique du système du code géographique du Québec, Janvier 2006 ), Institut de la Statistique du Québec〕 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 regional county municipalities and equivalent territories in Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
