Comarques Of The Valencian Community
The comarques of the Valencian Community form an intermediate level of administrative subdivision between the municipality and the province. They are used as a basis for the provision of local services by the Generalitat Valenciana, but do not have any representative or executive bodies of their own. As of 2007, there are thirty-four comarques (including the city of Valencia), with a median population of 87,788 and a median area of 665.11 km².
The current organization was approved in 1987 by the Generalitat, when three categories of homologous territorial demarcation were established. Article 65 of the 2006 Statute of Autonomy provides the first legislative foundation for the comarques, although, as of April 2007, the enabling legislation has not been passed by the Corts Valencianes.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
