The Greater Capital City Statistical Area (GCCSA) are designed to represent the functional extent of each of the eight State and Territory (S/T) capital cities. They were designed to reflect labour markets using the 2011 Census travel to work data. Because of this the GCCSAs reflect the labour market of each capital city. The labour market is sometimes used as a de-facto measure of the functional extent of a city as it contains the majority of the commuting population. This definition is designed to include the population within the urban area of the city, as well as people who regularly socialise, shop or work within the city, and live in small towns and rural areas surrounding the city. It is important to note that GCCSAs do not define the built up edge of the city. They provide a stable definition for these cities and are designed for the output of a range of social and economic survey data. Within each S/T, the area not defined as being part of the Greater Capital City is represented by a Rest of State region. GCCSAs are not bound by a minimum population size criterion. The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) is constructed on the principle that it must fulfil user needs for geospatially enabled statistics while, also conforming to general classification principles. The ASGS is designed to meet user needs for social, demographic and economic statistics. The regions of the ASGS below the S/T level are designed such that they are: - useful and relevant for data dissemination - flexible for aggregation into larger units - useful building blocks for user-defined regions. |
