In France, a ''pays'' is an area whose inhabitants share common geographical, economic, cultural, or social interests, who have a right to enter into communal planning contracts under a law known as the Loi Pasqua or LOADT (''Loi d'Orientation pour l'Aménagement et le Développement du Territoire''; (英語:Directive law concerning territorial planning and development)), which took effect on February 4, 1995. It was augmented on June 25, 1999, by the Loi Voynet or LOADDT (''Loi d'Orientation de l'Aménagement Durable du Territoire''). The LOADDT enables the citizens of a community to form a legally recognized ''pays'' after deciding to do so by mutual consent; its aim is to help bring the inhabitants of urban and neighboring rural districts into dialogue and agreement. The Council of Development in each ''pays'' assembles together the elected officials and the economic, social, and cultural actors, and their associates, into a deliberative forum to discuss the development policies which should be followed by the community. While the Council can give advice, submit proposals, and monitor development projects, it does not have the authority to make official decisions. The Charter of the ''Pays'' makes it possible to fix the stakes and the objectives of the community. Few structures are recognized as ''pays Voynet'', meaning nationwide, because the recognition criteria are sometimes far from what the ''pays'' are. Then again, several ''pays'' are recognized by the Commission Régionale d'aménagement et de développement du Territoire. The Contract of the ''Pays'' can be signed among the members of the ''pays'', or between the ''pays'' and its surrounding area, the department, the region, or with the national state when the stakes are well-identified. In this context, the French term ''pays'' is not used in the modern sense of "country" but preserves the original meaning of the Latin word from which it was derived, ''pagus'', which designated the territory controlled by a medieval count. The majority of ''pays'' are roughly coextensive with the old counties (e.g., county of Comminges, county of Ponthieu, etc.). Today ''Pays de France'' still refers to a tiny area in northwest Ile-de-France, hence city names such as ''Roissy-en-France'' or ''Tremblay-en-France''. ==''Pays'' of Brittany== Brittany, consisting of 4 departments, is also subdivided into 21 ''pays''. * pays de Brest * pays de Cornouaille * pays du Centre-Ouest de Bretagne * pays de Morlaix * Pays de Trégor-Goélo * pays de Guingamp * pays de Saint-Brieuc * pays de Centre-Bretagne * pays de Pontivy * pays de Lorient * pays d'Auray * pays de Vannes * pays de Ploërmel-Coeur de Bretagne * pays de Brocéliande * pays de Dinan * pays de Saint-Malo * pays de Fougères * pays de Rennes * Pays de Vitré-Porte de Bretagne * pays es Vallons de Vilaine * pays de Redon et Vilaine, note this ''pays'' straddles 3 departments, including one located outside Brittany, the Loire Atlantique. 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「Pays (France)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
