In Ukraine, the Codifier of administrative-territorial units and territories of territorial communities (), for short KATOTTH () is a national register of the administrative divisions of Ukraine and the territory of hromadas (communities) of the country, introduced on 26 November 2020 in accordance with an edict of Ministry of Communities and Territories Development to replace the previous classification of objects of the administrative-territorial system of Ukraine (KOATUU) system.
It is a consequence of the administrative reforms of the country that began in 2015, in which settlements in neighboring village, settlement, and city councils were gradually united into territorial hromadas, and the number of raions (districts) was reduced from 490 to 136.
Structure The administrative-territorial units are divided into five levels:
First level: the oblast, autonomous republic, or city with special status Second level: the raion Third level: the hromada Fourth level: the specific populated place; cities, villages, rural settlements Additional level: urban districts (including in cities with special status)
The units are also divided by category, each with its own one-letter abbreviation in the Latin alphabet:
O: oblast or autonomous republic; K: city with special status P: raion H: hromada M: city T: urban-type settlement (prior to 2021) C: village X: rural settlement B: urban district
The code itself takes the form: UA|ОО|РР|ГГГ|ППП|ММ|УУУУУ
UA is just "UA", the ISO 3166-1 code for Ukraine OO is the code of the first-level division РР is the code of the second-level division ГГГ is the code of the third-level division ППП is the code of the populated place ММ is the code of the urban district УУУУУ is a unique key of the object
