Greater administrative areas (大行政区 Pinyin: daxing zhengqu) were early top-level administrative divisions of the People's Republic of China that directly governed provinces and municipalities.
The greater administrative areas originated from the districts governed by governors-general (總督轄區;) established during the late Qing dynasty.
Military administrative regions, the divisions of some major banks, and civilian aviation districts are still divided in the same form as the greater administrative areas.

  Greater London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The administrative area of Greater London covers the large conurbation which comprises the City of London, the City of Westminster and 31 other London boroughs, and encompasses what is commonly known simply as London, capital of England and the United Kingdom.
The term "London" is usually used in reference to Greater London or to the urban conurbation, not to the tiny City of London at its centre (which is usually styled as "the City" or "the Square Mile").
Greater London was formally created on 1 April 1965, replacing the former administrative counties of Middlesex and London, adding the City, which was not under the London County Council, and absorbing parts of Kent, Hertfordshire, Surrey, and Essex.

Prefecture-level cities are generally composed of an urban center and surrounding rural areas much larger than the urban core, and thus are not "cities" in the strict sense of the term.
Greater administrative areas were inserted on top of provinces, but they were soon abolished, in 1954.
The ultimate goal is to reduce the different administration levels from five to three, (Provincial, County, Village) reducing the amount of corruption that goes on in between and reducing the number of government workers to reduce budget.

Special administrative regions were provided for in the 1982 Constitution in anticipation of the retrocession of Hong Kong and Macau, but were only established in 1997 and 1999 in Hong Kong and Macau respectively when China resumed its exercise of sovereignty in these regions.
Special administrative regions are nominally designated first-order (provincial-level) administrative divisions like other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, but SARs reserve much bigger autonomy, with their own courts of final appeal, legal systems, passports, currencies, customs control, immigration policies, extradition, etc., except diplomatic relations and national defence.

There is also an interest on the part of all area municipalities in making services more cost effective, more accessible and more efficient through the migrating of services to the area municipality where this is possible and fair in all the circumstances.
Indeed, several areas were identified as topics for immediate review and report and, I believe, there is a shared willingness to bring these discussions along in tandem with the above review process for roads and planning in order to facilitate balanced economic outcomes from an overall viewpoint.
Being elected to a regional council by area taxpayers residing in a particular area municipality, however, encourages a mindset that only those taxpayers are being represented at the regional level.

Geographic area licensing will increase the flexibility afforded to licensees to manage their spectrum, and will reduce administrative burdens and operating costs by allowing licensees to modify, move, or add to their facilities within specified geographic areas without need for prior Commission approval.
Therefore, EA licensees in the lower 230 channel blocks, just as their counterparts in the upper 200 channels, will be required to provide coverage to one-third of the population within three years of the license grant, and to two-thirds of the population within five years of the license grant.
In addition, affording greater flexibility to lower 230 incumbents is appropriate because these channels are subject to an application freeze and geographic licensing of these channels will not occur until after the upper 200 channel auction is concluded and incumbents have had an opportunity to relocate to the lower channels.

 Small-Area Population Estimation Technique
County estimates are created using a component change procedure called the tax return method (formerly called the administrative records method), which combines estimates of the population under 65 and 65 and over, group quarters, and household population.
In establishing relative weights for the absolute and percent values, it is intuitive that the greater the range of values in a known data series, the greater the relative impact of absolute differences and the smaller the relative impact of percent differences when compared to a test estimate.
If estimates are to be used for distribution of funds, and the minimization of misallocation is sought, a greater weight may be applied to the percent error.

 Assessment and Recommendations Regarding Out-of-Network Reimbursement, Usage Standards and Resolution Processes
From an administrative perspective, the successful out-of-network strategy will be transparent to the stakeholders and will not penalize the providers and health plans who are successful in contracting and arranging out-of-network care under the current system.
Administrative costs as a percentage of revenue averaged 13.2 percent across the Texas Medicaid health plans in FY02 for the TANF and TANF-related populations, for example, versus an average in Arizona of under 8 percent for all populations, including TANF and SSI.
Thus, in addition to delineating the contractual and administrative changes needed to implement the suggested payment revision, the remainder of this chapter also details various contingency provisions we recommend be put in place that track the volume of out-of-network activity and address network adequacy problems that arise.

For example, the suggestion to charge a flat $100 fee on all entities accessing five area codes or less would result in tens of thousands of entities that access from one to two area codes of data to be required to pay more than the per area code amount paid by all other entities.
(Telephone numbers from those area codes that have been added to the national registry include numbers to be activated in the future and numbers that are currently active for billing or other purposes.) As a result, there are currently approximately 280 active area codes, with additional area codes scheduled to become active in the future.
To obtain access to additional area codes of data during the second six months of the annual period, the person must first pay $20 for each additional area code of data not initially selected.

The GLA was established in 2000 as a replacement for the former Greater London Council (GLC) which was established in 1965 and abolished in 1986 after several high-profile clashes between the GLC (also then lead by Livingstone) and the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher.
The Mayor and the Assembly will likely be in conflict with one or more Boroughs from time to time: they had each enjoyed "unitary status" and a fair degree of autonomy since the GLC was abolished.
