South Tarawa (in Gilbertese ''Tarawa Teinainano'') is the capital and hub of the Republic of Kiribati and home to approximately half of Kiribati's total population.〔(Country files at earth-info.nga.mil )〕 The South Tarawa population center consists of all the small islets from Betio in the West to Bonriki in the East, connected by the South Tarawa main road; with a population of 50,182 .〔 South Tarawa is home to most of the Government, commercial and education facilities in Kiribati including the Port and the High Court at Betio, the State House, Government Ministries and foreign High Commissions in Bairiki, a University of the South Pacific campus in Teaorereke, the House of Assembly in Ambo, the Kiribati Teacher College and King George V and Elaine Bernachi School, the Government High School, is in Bikenibeu, and the central hospital in Nawerewere. The Roman Catholic diocese is based in Teaorereke, the Kiribati Protestant Church (Congregational) in Antebuka, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Eita.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.climate.gov.ki/about-kiribati/island-reports-201/south-tarawa/ )〕 == Administration == At the local government level, South Tarawa has two administrative subdivisions: *Betio Town Council (or BTC), on Betio; *Teinainano Urban Council (or TUC), from Bairiki to Tanaea (The meaning of Teinainano is "down of the mast", alluding to the sail-shape of the atoll). Buota, which is part of North Tarawa and administered by the Eutan Tarawa Council (or ETC), is linked by road to South Tarawa and is experiencing many similar issues of rapid population growth, urbanisation and environmental degradation. 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「South Tarawa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
