The Zakarpattia Oblast ((ウクライナ語:Закарпатська область), translit. ; see other languages) is an administrative oblast (province) located in southwestern Ukraine, coterminous with the historical region of Carpathian Ruthenia. Its administrative center is the city of Uzhhorod. Other major cities within the oblast include Mukachevo, Khust, Berehove and Chop which is home to railroad transport infrastructure. Zakarpattia Oblast was established on 22 January 1946, after Czechoslovakia ceded the territory of ''Subcarpathian Rus'' to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, under a treaty between Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. Some scholars say that during the Ukrainian independence referendum held in 1991, Zakarpattia Oblast voters were given a separate option on whether or not they favored autonomy for the region.〔 Although a large majority favored autonomy, it was not granted.〔 However, this referendum was about self-government status, not about autonomy (like in Crimea). Situated in the Carpathian Mountains of western Ukraine, Zakarpattia Oblast is the only Ukrainian administrative division which borders upon four countries: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. The Carpathian Mountains play a major part in the oblast's economy, making the region an important tourist and travel destination housing many ski and spa resorts. The oblast is ranked 23rd by area and 17th by population. According to the 2001 Ukrainian Census, the population of Zakarpattia Oblast is 1,254,614. This total includes people of many different nationalities of which Hungarians, Romanians and Rusyns constitute significant minorities in some of the province's cities, while in others, they form the majority of the population (as in the case of Berehove). ==Name== The oblast is also referred to as the Transcarpathian Oblast, Transcarpathia, Zakarpattya, or historically as Subcarpathian Rus. In other languages the oblast is named: *, translit. . *(ハンガリー語:Kárpátalja) *(チェコ語:Podkarpatská rus) *(スロバキア語:Zakarpatská oblasť) *(ポーランド語:Obwód zakarpacki) *(ルーマニア語、モルドバ語():Maramureșul de Nord or Regiunea Transcarpatia) *(ロシア語:Закарпатская область), translit. While the name ''Transcarpathia'' is a translation of the Ukrainian version of the name, the Hungarian name translates as ''Subcarpathia'', following the Hungarian language logic "feet of the mountains", naming a territory after its geographic location at the lower section of a mountain range. (Following the same language pattern that applies to the name of the sub-Alpian territory in Western Hungary, Alpokalja)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The name "Kárpátalja", as it appears on the cover of the journal of the Transcarpathian section of the Hungarian Writers' Union ) 〕 Generally, the ''Transcarpathia'' name and its versions reflect the East Slavic language logic, while some Western languages follow the same logic as the Hungarian:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Christian Pischlöger: Kárpátalja vagy Kárpátontúl? College of Nyíregyháza ) 〕 *(英語:Subcarpathia, Subcarpathian Russia, Subcarpathian Ruthenia, Sub-Carpathian Ukraine) *(フランス語:Ukraine Subcarpathique, Russie subcarpathique) Other Western languages follow their own logic in creating a name for the region: * The coat of arms of Zakarpattia was originally created in the end of the 1910s in the then Czechoslovakia. 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「Zakarpattia Oblast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
