''Bairro'' (lit. quarter, (:ˈbajʁu)) is a Portuguese word and refers to a community or region within a city or municipality. Regions referred to as bairros exist in most major Brazilian cities. Related English words include neighborhood, district, borough or subdivision. Bairro is cognate with Germanic ''berg'', ''burg'', ''borg'', ''burgh'', ''borough'', etc.; and Spanish ''barrio'', all of which descend from the same Proto-Indo European root. In Brazil, the word is frequently applied to urban areas in cities, in which the ''bairros'' are generally defined only unofficially and have rough borders, without any official administrative function. Some cities' ''bairros'', however, have defined territorial limits set by the municipal government, but most follow popular definition by its citizens. In Portugal, subdivisions in only a few densely populated urban regions are called ''bairros'', though these do not have any administrative power. An example is the Bairro Alto in Lisbon. ''Freguesia'' is the more common subdivision in Portugal. In Mozambique, ''bairros'' are administrative subdivisions of urban districts with important functions in the identification of the residents and determine the attributes of the area in regard to construction or agriculture, much like zoning. They are directed by ''secretários''. ==See also== *Bairro Alto in Lisbon. *Barrio *Freguesia es:Barrio pt:Bairro 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bairro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
