These cities are subordinate to the raion authorities and derive their powers from them. The KOATUU national classification system refers to them as the third-level of the country's administrative divisions. there are 276 cities of district significance in Ukraine. Cities of district significance are automatically considered as "small cities", a status which is recognized by a few normative acts of the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament.〔 Ukrainian law designates populated places with populations of up to 50,000. In 2008, the average population of a city of district significance was 13,400. Small cities can belong to one of several specific economic categories, often having a regional transportation significance, important local industry, or an important historical and tourist attraction.〔 , 63 of the 276 cities of district significance are members of the Association of Small Cities of Ukraine, a public organization that was registered in 2011 to recognize the common issues of small cities in general and to further promote their development. ==Characteristics== Under Ukrainian law, every city of district significance automatically belongs to the category of "small cities" ((ウクライナ語:малі міста), ), which is defined by the law "On the Approval of the National Program of the Development of Small Cities" dated 4 March 2005 as cities which have populations of up to 50,000.〔 These small cities have populations of up to 50,000, and they contain a certain amount of social and industrial infrastructure within their boundaries. They have a proportionally lower rate of industrial expansion compared to cities of regional significance, however, they allow for favorable conditions for the creation of social, cultural, household, communal areas to meet the needs of its urban residents and the surrounding district countryside. A large number of these cities are centered around important industrial enterprises, creating the need of maintaining a favorable economic climate for industry.〔 Cities of district significance are often the administrative centers of the districts they are located in. The lives of approximately 22 million inhabitants (both urban and rural) are tied in with the socio-economic activities of small cities, which plays an important role in the development of suburbs and the Ukrainian economy.〔 The law "On the General Scheme of the Territorial Planning of Ukraine" is Ukraine's comprehensive general plan, which was adopted on 7 February 2002. It organizes small cities into five different categories:〔 # cities that are adjacent to the geographical centers of local population; # cities with a significant recreational and health potential; # cities with a significant natural, historical and cultural potential; # cities that are important local centers of predominantly rural areas; # single-function cities. The law "On the Approval of the National Program of the Development of Small Cities" was adopted on 4 March 2005. It organizes small cities into seven economic categories:〔〔 # cities of predominantly industrial functions; # regional transportation crossroads; # sanatorium-resorts and recreational centers; # historical, historical-architectural, cultural, and tourist centers; # administrative centers of rural raions (districts); # business centers of local importance; # important local centers of society, cultural, communal, and other services. 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「City of district significance (Ukraine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
