An administrative new area is one in which the territory of the new area and an administrative district coincide, and is either administered simultaneously by the district's governing body or by a joint office under the one institution with two names arrangement.

A management new area is one in which its territory may or may not directly coincide with that of a county level division (i.e. it may includes only parts of county level divisions), and is administered by a management committee dispatched by the municipal government, existing separate from the county level division governments, themselves. A management new area committee is generally responsible for economic development, planning and other related functions, while the county level division governments exercise responsibility over social management and other related functions.
