The Division Standard of

residents' committee and village committee areas confirmed by The Department of
Civil Affairs as the division objects, with the actual construction as the
division basis, our region is divided into urban and rural areas.
The actual construction refers to the public facilities, residential
facilities and other facilities which are completed or under construction.
Urban Area including city and township.
City refers to the residents' committee and other areas connected with
the actual construction of district and municipal government in the districts
of city and the city without districts.
Township refers to the residents' committee and other areas connected
with the actual construction of district and municipal government outside city
zones and other areas. Township also including the independent mining areas,
development areas, scientific research units, universities and other special
areas, as well as the station of farms and forest farms, which are not connected

Constant Price
refer to prices that are used to remove the factors of
price change in calculating economic aggregates, so as to facilitate comparison
of aggregates over time. Two methods are used for calculating economic
aggregates at constant prices,
a) Multiplying the output of products by their
constant prices of certain year; b) Deflation of data at current prices by relevant
price index.
Average Annual Increase Rate
shows the average growth rate of social and economic development
during a longer period. It can not be directly calculated by chain based growth
rate. The relation is:
Average
Annual Growth Rate = Average Speed of Development-1
Average speed of development is the time series average of speed which
calculated by chain based. Because the reference bases during the different
periods are not same, average speed of development can not be calculated by the
general method. Level approach and accumulative approach for calculating
average speed of development rate are applied. The ��level approach��, or the
method of calculating the geometric average, is derived by the formula of
geometric average of the chain-based speeds of development, or comparing the
level of the last year of the interval with that of the beginning year; the
other is called the ��accumulative approach�� or the ��algebraic average��, ��equation��
method, which is derived by the summation of the actual figure of each year in
the interval divided by the figure in the base year. The level approach focuses
on the level of the last year, while the accumulative approach emphasizes the
aggregate development in the duration.
The average annual growth rates listed in the Yearbook are calculated by
the level approach except for the growth rate of investment in fixed assets.
The base year is not listed in the duration for which average annual growth
rates are computed. For instance, the average annual growth rate of the 43
years since 1949 is shown as the average annual growth rate of 1950-1992
without showing the base year 1949.
