The basin of living is the smallest territory in which inhabitants have access to the most common facilities and services. We delineate its contours in several stages. First of all, a service centre is defined as a municipality or urban unit with at least 16 of the 31 intermediate facilities. The areas of influence of each service cluster are then demarcated by grouping the nearest municipalities, the proximity being measured in journey time, by the road at off-peak time. Thus, for each municipality and for each equipment not present on the commune, we determine the nearest municipality offering this equipment. Intermediate equipment but also proximity equipment are taken into account.
Its main interest is to describe non-populated spaces, i.e. living basins built on urban units of less than 50,000 inhabitants.
