Definition: Protected areas, military areas
Regional statistics
Protected areas, like national parks, nature reserves and similar, should not be treated separately but be classified as land area, inland water, sea, or uninhabitable area according to the nature of these areas. The same recommendations apply to military areas, like artillery ranges or drill grounds.
