The provincial capital, also called Sihanoukville, is a deep-water port city, the country's premier tourist destination and a steadily growing and diversifying urban center located on an elevated peninsula.〔http://www.stat.go.jp/info/meetings/cambodia/pdf/18com_mp.pdf〕 The province is named in honor of former king Norodom Sihanouk, who personally orchestrated the establishment of Sihanoukville city and the Sihanoukville municipality as this took place alongside the construction of the Sihanoukville Port, which commenced in June 1955. The only deep water port of Cambodia includes a mineral Oil terminal and a transport logistics facility. Sihanoukville Province is divided into four districts, each with a distinct economic character, defined by size and location.〔http://www.stat.go.jp/info/meetings/cambodia/pdf/ec_pr18.pdf〕 In addition to the port and the growing tourism industry, the activities of countless NGO's and international investment have contributed to an unprecedented economic growth of the province over the course of the last decade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Cambodia, Sihanoukville Autonomous Port )〕 Economic sectors, that further deserve mentioning are the textile industry and the rapidly expanding real estate market.〔()〕 The islands and beaches of Sihanoukville province are an international tourist destination as visitor numbers have risen steadily over the course of the last two decades.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.lonelyplanet.com/cambodia/south-coast/sihanoukville )〕 The initial Sihanoukville municipality was elevated to a regular province on 22 December 2008 after King Norodom Sihamoni signed a Royal Decree converting the municipalities of Kep, Pailin and Sihanoukville into provinces, as well as incorporating Kompong Seila district.〔http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Soc/soc.culture.cambodia/2009-01/msg00003.html〕 As one of Cambodia's agriculturally and industrially most diverse province its economic future has a solid basis, although the essential sectors agriculture and tourism require a strict and permanent protection of the local natural resources.〔http://www.ide.go.jp/English/Publish/Download/Brc/pdf/06_chapter3.pdf〕 == Etymology == The official name in Khmer is: Khaet (province) Preah (holy) Sihanouk (name of the former king), which adds up to: "Province of the holy Sihanouk" or "Honorable Sihanouk Province". It honors the former king Norodom Sihanouk (reigned 1941–1955 and 1993–2004) who was and still is revered as the Father of the modern Nation,. Sihanouk himself suggested the official Western variant ''Sihanoukville''. The name "Sihanouk" is derived from Sanskrit through two Pali words: ''Siha'' (lion), and ''Hanu'' (jaws). The former name, Kompong Saom (also romanized as ''Kompong Som'' and ''Kampong Som''), ((クメール語:កំពង់សោម)) means "Port of the Moon" or "Shiva's Port".〔Headly, Robert K.; Chhor, Kylin; Lim, Lam Kheng; Kheang, Lim Hak; Chun, Chen. 1977. ''Cambodian-English Dictionary''. Bureau of Special Research in Modern Languages. The Catholic University of America Press. Washington, D.C. ISBN 0-8132-0509-3〕 ''Saom'' is derived from the Sanskrit word "saumya", the original (Rig Vedic) meaning of which was "Soma, the juice or sacrifice of the moon-god", but evolved into Pali "moon", "moonlike" "name of Shiva". The word ''Kampong'' or ''Kompong'' is of Malayan origin〔http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/kampong〕 and means village or hamlet. Its meaning underwent extension towards ''pier'' or river ''landing bridge''.〔http://books.google.com.kh/books/about/A_History_of_Cambodia.html?id=psLv6GUB8JoC〕 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「Sihanoukville Province」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
