Regions existing as of 1 January 2019 Source: Admin EXPRESS COG 2019 edition — IGN — Original data downloaded from: http://professionnels.ign.fr/adminexpress on 27 August 2019; The word region covers several different realities: the administrative, military, health, cultural... In the present case, the concept of a region is the regional administrative division which brings together several departments, and which has been defined as a territorial authority by the Decentralisation Act of 2 March 1982. This entity also covers regions with special status such as the Ile-de-France region, Corsica or the overseas regions. Like the department, the region can be considered hybrid as it is headed by a president and elected assembly, as well as a regional prefect. In order to better meet some of their needs which are common to other local and regional authorities and which often go beyond the framework and capacities of a regional entity, regions may join one or more institutions between local and regional authorities, each of which will delegate one or more competences in order to pool the means necessary to achieve their objectives. The list of administrative regions is under the responsibility of INSEE. The administrative regions of the Sander are based on the current version of INSEE’s Official Geographical Code: valid codes and wording regions.截至2019年1月1日存续的区域。 数据来源：Admin EXPRESS COG 2019版——法国国家地理研究院（IGN）；原始数据于2019年8月27日从以下地址下载：http://professionnels.ign.fr/adminexpress； “区域”一词涵盖多种不同范畴：行政、军事、卫生、文化等…… 就本数据集而言，“区域”的概念指整合若干个省的区域性行政划分，且该划分已被1982年3月2日颁布的《权力下放法案》认定为具有管辖权的领土实体。 此类区域实体亦涵盖拥有特殊地位的区域，例如法兰西岛（Ile-de-France）、科西嘉（Corsica）以及海外领地区域。 与省类似，区域兼具混合属性：既设有由选举产生的议会与议长，同时也配备大区行政长官。 为更好地满足与其他地方及区域主管机构共通的、且往往超出单个区域实体职权范围与承载能力的需求，区域可加入一个或多个跨地方与区域层级的机构，各区域将向该机构让渡若干项职权，以整合所需资源以达成共同目标。 行政区域名录由法国国家统计与经济研究所（INSEE）负责编制。 本数据集收录的桑德尔（Sander）行政区域，基于法国国家统计与经济研究所（INSEE）最新版官方地理编码标准，包含有效编码与规范区域名称。
