Microregion
As a micro-region one is geographic or political unity of cities and municipalities designated.
Brazil
In Brazil the term microregion is used in a geostatistical context. As a translation of the Portuguese word microrregião ("small area"), according to the Brazilian constitution from 1988, a microregion is a collection of neighboring municipalities or cities. These do not necessarily have to be politically related. Rather, it is commonalities in social and economic terms that lead to a defined unit as a micro-region.
Microregions are defined by the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in order to serve as support for its work and thus to have a better basis for planning and organizing various issues of public interest. In addition to the microregion, Brazil also has the mesoregion as a definition , an area serving the same purpose but larger that comprises several microregions.
The division into micro-regions was in effect from 1988 to 2017, then they were replaced by Região geográfica imediata as the IBGE system.
Germany
In Germany it is often border regions or economic centers (example: friends in the heart of Europe ).
Czech Republic
In the Czech Republic, these are associations of the smaller municipalities in the outskirts of rural towns to perform administrative tasks, similar to a joint municipality .
