As a result of the annexation of Crimea by Russia, the city is currently a subject of territorial dispute between Ukraine, which considers Sevastopol as a city with special status, and Russia, which considers it a federal city within the Crimean Federal District. Sevastopol has a population of 412,630, concentrated mostly near the Bay of Sevastopol and surrounding areas. The location and navigability of the city's harbours have made Sevastopol a strategically important port and naval base throughout history. The city has been a home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which is why it was considered as a separate city in Crimea of significant military importance. Although relatively small at , Sevastopol's unique naval and maritime features provide the basis for a robust economy. The city enjoys mild winters and moderate warm summers; characteristics that help make it a popular seaside resort and tourist destination, mainly for visitors from the former Soviet republics. The city is also an important centre for marine biology; in particular, dolphins have been studied and trained in the city since the end of World War II. ==Etymology== The name of Sevastopolis was originally chosen in the same etymological trend as other cities in the Crimean peninsula that was intended to reflect its ancient Greek origins. It is a compound of the Greek adjective, (''sebastos'', 'venerable') and the noun (''pólis'') ('city'). is the traditional Greek equivalent of the Roman honorific ''Augustus'', originally given to the first emperor of the Roman Empire, Augustus and later awarded as a title to his successors. Despite its Greek origin, the name itself is not from Ancient Greek times. The city was probably named after the Empress ("''Augusta''") Catherine II of Russia who founded Sevastopol in 1783. She visited the city in 1787 accompanied by Joseph II, the Emperor of Austria, and other foreign dignitaries. In the west of the city, there are well-preserved ruins of the ancient Greek port city of Chersonesos, founded in the 5th (or 4th) century BC by settlers from Heraclea Pontica. This name means "peninsula", reflecting its immediate location, and is not related to the ancient Greek name for the Crimean Peninsula as a whole: ''Chersonēsos Taurikē'' ("the Taurian Peninsula"). The name of the city is spelled as: * In English, the current prevalent spelling of the name is ''Sevastopol''; the previously common spelling ''Sebastopol'' is still used by some publications such as ''The Economist''. In English the current spelling has the pronunciation or , whilst the former spelling has the pronunciation or . * (ウクライナ語:Севастополь); (ロシア語:Севастополь), pronounced (:sevɑsˈtɔpɔlʲ) in Ukrainian and in Russian. * , pronounced (:aqˈjar). 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「Sevastopol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
