The councils and assemblies of the municipalities of Macau were abolished on 1 January 2002, and their functions transferred to the Instituto para os Assuntos Cívicos e Municipais, slightly more than 2 years after Macau became a special administrative region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China. They had been put in place under the administration of Portugal. The current administrative body is the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (Portuguese: ''Instituto para os Assuntos Cívicos e Municipais'', Traditional Chinese: 民政總署) under the Secretariat for Administration and Justice (''Secretaria da Administração e Justiça'') of the SAR government. == History == After the reunification with the People's Republic of China in 1999, these structures were kept provisionally in place: the Provisional Municipal Council of Macau (臨時澳門市政執行委員會, ''Câmara Municipal de Macau Provisória'', officially in broken Portuguese, should be ''Câmara Municipal Provisória de Macau''), the Provisional Municipal Council of the Islands (臨時海島市政執行委員會, ''Câmara Municipal das Ilhas Provisória'', officially in broken Portuguese, should be ''Câmara Municipal Provisória das Ilhas''), and the Provisional Municipal Assembly (''Assembleia Municipal Provisória'', 臨時市政議會) of each municipality.〔(Law 1/1999, Article 15 )〕 The (Portuguese-era ) coat-of-arms, with two angels as heraldic supporters, was changed to a (simpler design ) of a key with two birds as supporters.〔(Law 6/1999, Article 16 and Annex XII )〕 On 31 December 2001, all the provisional organs were dissolved and the new Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (''Instituto para os Assuntos Cívicos e Municipais'' (), 民政總署) took on the role of the provisional municipal councils, starting from 1 January 2002, under the Secretariat for Administration and Justice (''Secretaria da Administração e Justiça'') of the SAR government.〔(Law 17/2001 )〕〔(Administrative Regulation 32/2001 )〕 The IACM was given a (logo ) based on the Chinese Han character 民, for "civilian". 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「Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
