In the administrative divisions of Qatar, zones are the second-highest level of government after municipalities. As of the 2015 census, there were 98 zones.^[1] However, several of these zones are not currently in use.^[2] Over the years, numerous changes in zones have taken place. For instance, in the 2010 census, Zone 69 was transferred to Al Daayen Municipality, Zones 50 and 58 were added to Ad-Dawhah Municipality, and part of Zone 74 was merged with Zone 70 of Al Daayen Municipality.^[3]

Zones are composed of planning districts, of which there are 773 as of 2015.^[4] The lowest statistical unit used for planning is a census block, of which the total in 2010 was 4,344, increasing from 2,464 in 2004.^[5]
