Masovian Voivodeship or Mazovia Province〔Arkadiusz Belczyk, (Tłumaczenie polskich nazw geograficznych na język angielski ) (of Polish Geographical Names into English ), 2002-2006.〕 ((ポーランド語:województwo mazowieckie) ), is the largest and most populous of the sixteen Polish provinces, or voivodeships, created in 1999. It occupies of east-central Poland, and has 5,324,500 million inhabitants.〔http://warszawa.stat.gov.pl〕 Its principal cities are Warsaw (1.729 million) in the centre of the Warsaw metropolitan area, Radom (226,000) in the south, Płock (127,000) in the west, Siedlce (77,000) in the east, and Ostrołęka (55,000) in the north. The capital of the voivodeship is the national capital, Warsaw. The province was created on January 1, 1999, out of the former Warsaw, Płock, Ciechanów, Ostrołęka, Siedlce and Radom Voivodeships, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. The province's name recalls the traditional name of the region, ''Mazowsze'' (sometimes rendered in English as "Masovia"), with which it is roughly coterminous. However, southern part of the voivodeship, with Radom, historically belongs to Małopolska (Lesser Poland), while Łomża and its surroundings, even though historically part of Masovia, now is part of Podlaskie Voivodeship. It is bordered by six other voivodeships: Warmian-Masurian to the north, Podlaskie to the north-east, Lublin to the south-east, Świętokrzyskie to the south, Łódź to the south-west, and Kuyavian-Pomeranian to the north-west. ==Administrative division== Masovian Voivodeship is divided into 42 counties (''powiats''): 5 city counties (''miasto na prawach powiatu'') and 37 "land counties" (''powiat ziemski''). These are subdivided into 314 gminas, which include 85 "urban gminas". ;The counties, shown on the numbered map, are described in the table below. 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「Masovian Voivodeship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
