rural district


Explanation:
The problem is that Polish local administration units are completely different from British or American. Therefore, it's hard to find direct equivalents.

POWIAT = DISTRICT
POWIAT ZIEMSKI = RURAL DISTRICT
POWIAT MIEJSKI(GRODZKI) = URBAN DISTRICT

Hope it helps you out, Lucja.
