Permit: Refers to the case or administrative process through which approval is sought for the erection of the building. Generally, each is entitled to a work permit, so this variable largely reflects the number of works that are licensed.

- Municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants according to the Census of Population and Housing 1991.
