INSPIRE Theme Annex I Administrative units - Dataset of Hungary - Administrative units (2025)

This dataset includes the official boundaries of the administrative units of Hungary. Contains the co-ordinates (x, y) of the vertexes of the Hungarian administrative boundaries including: country (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics - NUTS 0), regions (NUTS 2), county (NUTS 3), micro-region (Local Administrative Units - LAU 1) and settlement (LAU 2) level. Contains the Geonames in Hungarian for each unit. This dataset corresponds to the legally registered dataset which are stored at the land offices. The original dataset can be generalized in different accuracy, in cm, 1m, 10m, 100m etc. (Accuracy corresponds to the map-scale). More information is available on Lechner Knowledge Center (LTK) website. This actual dataset has accuracy of 25m made in November the year of 2025, in polygon format, in HD72/EOV co-ordinate system (EPSG:23700). Same dataset published at the EuroBoundaryMap portal for free of charge (in EPSG:4258).

Supplemental Information: https://lechnerkozpont.hu/oldal/magyar-kozigazgatasi-hatarok This dataset contains data on Hungarian administrative units at the national, regional, county, micro-regional, district/settlement levels. The dataset with cm accuracy is distributed by the land offices. http://www.foldhivatal.hu/content/view/3/4/. The micro-region (kistérség) system was used in geographically seamless territorial units in Hungary between 1994 and 2014, primarily serving regional development and statistical purposes. It is currently included in the dataset as an archive information, one can group them using the attributes ‘endlifespa’ equal to ’2014’ or ‘desn’ equal to ‘Kistérség’. Many municipalities still use it for project purposes. The new micro-region (járás) system introduced from 2014 and still valid until today, one can group them using the attributes ’endlifespa’ equal to NULL or ‘desn’ is equal to ‘Járás’, it is difference geographical delineation.
