Centre of territorial and rural balance — Département du Loiret

A centre for territorial and rural balance (PETR) is a public establishment which brings together several public institutions of inter-communal cooperation with own taxation in an unlocked territorial area in the form of a mixed trade union. It enables cooperation between rural areas and small and medium-sized towns. The country designates a territory with “geographical, economic, cultural or social cohesion at the level of a basin of life or employment” in order to express “the community of economic, cultural and social interests of its members” and to enable the study and implementation of development projects. Countries can be represented and managed in different legal forms: mixed country union, association, public interest group... The layer is composed of the 4 PETRs of the department of Loiret and a mixed union of countries. **Collection context** The PETRs are the result of the scheme created by Article 79 of Law n°2014-58 of 27 January 2014 on the modernisation of territorial public action and the affirmation of metropolitan areas, known as the “MAPTAM Law”, and promulgated as part of the third act of decentralisation in the country. **Collection method** The data were created by the Loiret Department by merging the municipalities of the Topo® BD. **Attributes** | Champ | Alias | Type | | — | — | | — | | ‘NOM_PETR_PAYS’ | PETR Name | ‘char’ | | ‘ETIQUETTE’ | PETR Label | ‘char’ | | ‘SIREN_GROUPEMENT’ | SIREN Number | ‘double’ | | ‘URL_SITE’ | URL of the site | ‘char’ | | ‘PRESIDENT’ | President | ‘char’ | ‘PRESIDENT’ | | ‘DIRECTOR’ | Director | ‘char’ | ‘DIRECTEUR’ | | ‘ADRESSE’ | Address | ‘char’ | ‘ADRESSE’ | | ‘CP’ | Postal code | ‘integer’ | | ‘COMMUNE’ | Common | ‘char’ | ‘COMMUNE’ | | ‘TELEPHONE’ | Phone | ‘char’ | ‘TELEPHONE’ | ‘MAIL’ | Email | ‘char’ | For more information, see [the metadata on the Isogeo catalog](https://open.isogeo.com/s/1742fb942d7b4756b9778c3b3cbc992e/HWglEr-z4Bry_rKQOTINX9gAH4Yu0/r/d75255a5364c4cadb7970e9489e4db85).
