자프나 지구
자프나 구역 자프나 구역은 스리랑카의 25개 구역 중 하나로, 이 나라의 두 번째 행정 구분입니다. 이 구역은 스리랑카 중앙 정부에서 임명한 구역 장관(이전에는 정부 대리인으로 알려짐)이 이끄는 구역 비서관에 의해 관리됩니다. 구역의 수도는 자프나 시입니다.
기원전 5세기부터 13세기까지 현재의 자프나 구역은 판디아, 촐라, 팔라바, 칼링가, 라자라타와 같은 여러 왕국의 일부였습니다. 자프나 구역은 이후 전 식민지 자프나 왕국의 일부가 되었습니다. 이후 이 구역은 포르투갈, 네덜란드, 영국의 통치를 받았습니다. 1815년에 영국은 실론 전체에 대한 통제권을 확보했습니다. 그들은 섬을 세 개의 민족 기반 행정 구조로 나누었습니다: 저지대 싱할라족, 칸디 싱할라족, 그리고 타밀족. 자프나 구역은 타밀 행정에 속했습니다. 1833년, 콜브룩-카메론 위원회의 권고에 따라 민족 기반 행정 구조는 하나의 행정으로 통합되어 다섯 개의 지리적 프로빈스로 나누어졌습니다. 자프나 구역은 만나르 구역과 반니 구역과 함께 새로운 북부 지방을 형성했습니다. 실론이 독립을 얻었을 때, 자프나는 북부 지방에 위치한 세 개의 구역 중 하나였습니다. 1978년 9월에 자프나 구역의 일부가 새로 창설된 물라이티부 구역으로 이전되었습니다. 킬리노치 구역은 1984년 2월 자프나 구역의 남부에서 분리되었습니다.
자프나 구역은 스리랑카 북부에 위치하며, 북부 지방에 속하고, 자프나 반도의 대부분을 차지하고 있습니다. 면적은 1,025 제곱킬로미터(396 제곱마일)입니다. 지리적으로 네 개의 지역으로 나뉩니다:
- Thenmarachchi 또는 Thenmaradchi
- Vadamarachchi 또는 Vadamaradchi
- Valikamam
- Jaffna Islands
