autonomous areas (political divisions, divisions (political administrative bodies), ... Organizations (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: General designation for any autonomous place within the sphere of a larger adminisrative entity. Specifically, the term is given to certain divisions within a nation that have a degree of independence, administer their own affairs, or are otherwise self-governing to some degree. In this context, the precise definition of "autonomous area" varies from nation to nation, and is assigned to the area by the nation rather than being assigned by an outside body. Examples of autonomous areas in this sense are in Russia. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Algemene term voor een autonoom gebied binnen een grotere administratieve eenheid. Meer specifiek verwijst de term naar bepaalde gebieden binnen een natie die een zekere mate van onafhankelijkheid genieten, hun eigen zaken regelen of op andere wijze enig zelfbestuur uitoefenen. In deze context verschilt de precieze definitie van een 'autonoom gebied' van natie tot natie, en wordt deze status door de natie, in plaats van een externe instantie, aan het gebied toegekend. Autonome gebieden in deze zin zijn bijvoorbeeld te vinden in Rusland. |
