Topic: Metropolitan see


  
  Metropolitan
In ecclesiastical language, refers to whatever relates to the metropolis, the principal city, or see, of an ecclesiastical province; thus we speak of a metropolitan church, a metropolitan chapter, a metropolitan official, etc. The word metropolitan, used without any qualificative, means the bishop of the metropolitan see, now usually styled archbishop.
In the course of this visitation, the metropolitan, like the bishop, has the right of "procuration ", i.e., he and his retinue must be received and entertained at the expense of the churches visited.

 Rural Health Policy - Publications - Goldsmmith Paper
Metropolitan counties are socially and economically integrated on a daily basis with big cities or their suburbs, whereas nonmetropolitan counties are very likely to contain small-town and open-country regions that generally lack easy geographical access to services that are concentrated in big cities and their suburban areas (collectively central areas).
While the designation of counties as either metropolitan or nonmetropolitan has proved to be a useful procedure for identifying areas with and without easy geographical access to health services in central areas, the strategy may be viewed as unfair to the rural residents of geographically large metropolitan counties.
The designation of counties as being metropolitan or nonmetropolitan in character is made officially by the Office of Management and Budget, with the technical support from the Bureau of the Census, on the basis of size of the largest urban aggregation in a county and patterns of commuting between counties.
