Plzeň Region ((チェコ語:Plzeňský kraj)) is an administrative unit (''kraj'') in the western part of Bohemia in the Czech Republic. It is named after its capital Plzeň (English ''Pilsen'', (ドイツ語:Pilsen)). In terms of area, Plzeň region is with 7,561 km2 the third largest region in the Czech Republic. However, with the population of 572,459 inhabitants (as of 31 December 2012) it was the ninth most populous region. After the South Bohemian Region it is the second least densely populated region. The region can be roughly divided into two parts: a highly industrialized north-eastern part with a strong engineering tradition around Pilsen ((チェコ語:Plzeň)) and a more hilly and rural south-western part with smaller-sized manufacturing companies processing natural resources.〔Pilsen region; Available online at: http://www.businessinfo.cz/en/articles/pilsen-region-7953.html〕 The region borders with Karlovy Vary Region (in the north-west), Ústí nad Labem Region (in the north), Central Bohemian Region (north-east), South Bohemian Region (in the east) and with Bavaria (part of Germany) in the south-west and west. It can be further divided into seven districts ((チェコ語:okresy)): Domažlice District, Klatovy District, Plzeň-City District, Plzeň-South District, Plzeň-North District, Rokycany District and Tachov District.
