Irish Rural Structure
The National Spatial Strategy (NSS) regarding the Irish Rural Structure. The main objective of the study, as set out in the
brief, was to “develop, using demographic, economic and
geographical data, a typology of rural areas in Ireland and their main characteristics.
The typology should be developed at a geographical scale that enables practical regional and sub-regional comparisons to be made”.

Irish Rural Structure
The study also examined: trends within these areas and their
future outlook the relationship between urban and
rural areas; and the role of infrastructure in rural area
performance
A number of rural Typologies were identified through this study
