Postal Sectors

Each postal region is divided into postal sectors (each region consists of maximum 8 sectors). Sectors are numbered starting from 2 to 9; number (1) is excluded for government and exceptional services usage.

Sectors are divided according to the following basis:

• The center of the region, which is usually its capital, is assigned the first number of sector numbers.
• Sectors to the south of the center are assigned even numbers.
• Sectors to the north of the center are assigned odd numbers.

Upon dividing sectors, the following was taken into consideration:

• The borders of provinces' domains within any postal region.
• Terrain and geographical factors, such as: mountains, plains, valleys between provinces.
• Economic costs resulting from providing postal and logistic services.
• Population distribution and density inside the sectors.
