NOTES: In all panels, the top left map displays all urban–rural catchments areas. The top right map shows only the three categories of urban centres (large, intermediate and small city or town). The bottom left map displays areas 1 hour travel or less to any urban centre, roughly corresponding to what are defined as peri-urban areas in
Chapter 4 . The bottom centre map displays areas 1 to 2 hours travel to any urban centre, and the bottom right map displays areas more than 2 hours travel to any urban centre. The bottom centre and bottom right maps roughly correspond to what are defined as rural areas in
Chapter 4 .
