Canal Zone - Canal Zone (English spelling)

Japanese: 運河地帯 - うんがちたい（英語表記）Canal Zone

Also known as the Panama Canal Zone. The area along the Panama Canal under the jurisdiction of the United States from 1903 to 1979. It divides Panama, has a width of 8 km on each side of the canal, and has an area of 1,432 ^km2 . It was given to the United States by Panama in 1903 by the Treaty of Guadalajara-Huerto-Buenos Aires, and after the canal opened in 1914, a governor appointed by the President of the United States exercised administrative and judicial powers. It is divided into two administrative districts, Balboa on the Pacific side and Cristobal on the Atlantic side, and the headquarters of both administrative districts and the Panama Canal Company were located in Balboa Heights. At the strong request of the Panamanian side, a treaty was signed in 1977 to return the canal to Panama in 2000, and the canal zone was returned to Panama in October 1979, prior to the return of the canal.

別称パナマ運河地帯。 1903年から 79年までアメリカ合衆国が管轄権をもったパナマ運河に沿った地帯。パナマを分断し，運河の両側に各 8kmの幅をもち，面積 1432km²。 03年へー＝ビュノーバリヤ条約によってパナマから合衆国に提供され，14年の運河開通後は，合衆国大統領が任命した総督が行政権と司法権を行使した。太平洋側のバルボアと太西洋側のクリストバルの2つの行政地区に分れ，バルボアハイツに両行政地区の本部およびパナマ運河会社の本部がおかれた。パナマ側の強い要請により，運河を 2000年にパナマに返還する条約が 77年に調印されたのに伴い，79年 10月には運河返還に先立って運河地帯がパナマに返還された。
