Dodoma - Dodoma (English spelling)

Tanzania's legal capital. It is also the capital of Dodoma Province in the central region. Population 189,000 (1995), 506,943 (2018 estimate). As it occupies almost the center of the country, it was designated as the new capital of Tanzania in 1973. Since 1975, the central government offices were gradually relocated from Dar es Salaam, and the construction of the new capital was planned to be completed in 1983, but by 1999, only the presidential office and the legislative office were relocated, and the actual capital functions are still in Dar es Salaam. It is a transportation hub where a railway line connects Dar es Salaam on the east coast with the inland and a road branching off, and is a distribution center for agricultural products such as coffee, groundnuts, and livestock produced in the surrounding area.

タンザニアの法律上の首都。中部、ドドマ州の州都でもある。人口18万9000(1995)、50万6943(2018推計)。ほぼ国土の中央を占めるため、1973年にタンザニアの新しい首都に指定された。1975年以来、ダルエス・サラームから中央官庁を段階的に移転し、1983年に新首都の建設が完成する計画であったが、1999年までに大統領府と立法府が移転したのみで、実質的な首都機能は現在もダルエス・サラームにある。東海岸のダルエス・サラームと内陸を結ぶ鉄道が通じ、道路を分岐する交通の要地で、周辺に産するコーヒー、ラッカセイ、家畜など農産物の集散地。
