: Liben is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Guji Zone, Liben is bordered on the south by the Dawa River which separates it from the Borena Zone, on the west by Odo Shakiso, on the northwest by Adolana Wadera, on the north by the Ganale Dorya River which separates it from the Bale Zone, and on the east by the Somali Region. The map of the Oromia Region published by Disaster Prevention and Disaster Agency shows that this woreda is part of the Guji Zone, and that the eastern part has been transferred to the Somali Region to create the Liben woreda of that region.〔(Map of the Oromia Region )〕 The town of Negele Boran was separated from Liben woreda and is separate woreda now. == Overview == The altitude of this woreda ranges from 1120 to 1600 meters above sea level. Rivers include the Awata. State forests include the Genale, Dawa and Hara Kalo. A 2004 survey of the land in this woreda shows that 9.68% is arable or cultivable, 88.5% pasture, 0.93% forest, and the remaining 0.87% is considered swampy, degraded or otherwise unusable.〔Woreda administration sources, as quoted in ( ''Final Report for Aposto-Wendo-Negele'' (World Bank Report E1546, vol. 1) ), p. 64〕 Cereals include corn, wheat, teff, barley and sorghum; sugar cane, banana and papaya are other important crops.〔(''Socio-economic profile of the Guji Zone'' ) Government of the Oromia Region (last accessed 4 December 2006)〕 Industry in the woreda includes 20 grain mills, 5 metal or wood works, and 2 brick or tube factories. There were 34 Farmers Associations and 8 Farmers Service Cooperatives. Liben has 51 kilometers of dry-weather and 198 all-weather road, for an average road density of 73 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers. About 7.2% of the rural and 42.2% of the urban population has access to drinking water.〔 In 1994, the Oromo Relief Association organized food-for-work activities in 17 kebeles of Liben to lessen the effects of that year's drought; these activities included making improvements to traditional wells and ponds, road construction, and school maintenance.〔(Moyale, Dollo, Negele and Ginner Situation Report (December 6-19, 1993) ) UNDP Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia report, January 1994 (accessed 24 December 2008)〕 This woreda was part of the Borena Zone until it, along with four other woredas, were split off in September 2003 to create the Guji Zone.〔("Heavy rains in Borana and Guji Zones of Oromiya Region cause critical and potential water problems" ) UN-OCHA Report, June 2003 (accessed 16 January 2009) Although this source states the administrative change occurred September 2003, this is an understandable mistake because Ethiopian year starts in September.〕 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「Liben, Oromia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
