Male

Japanese: マーレ(英語表記)Male
Male
The capital of the Republic of Maldives in the northern Indian Ocean. A population of 63,000 (1995) lives on a small island of about 2 km2. Administratively, it is divided into four villages, but the entire island forms part of the urban landscape. All major national institutions are concentrated in Male, and it is a distribution center for marine products, including Maldivian fish (dried bonito). An international airport, which opened in 1981, is located on the neighboring island of Hulule, where immigration control is carried out. Many foreign tourists fly directly from Hulule to islands with tourist facilities and do not stop in the capital.

インド洋北部のモルジブ共和国の首都。約2km2の小島に,6万3000人(1995)が住む。行政上は4村に区分されているが,島全体が市街地の景観をなしている。主要な国家機関はすべてマーレに集中し,モルジブ・フィッシュ(干しカツオ)をはじめとする海産物の集散地である。1981年に開港した国際空港は隣のフルレーHulule島にあり,出入国管理が行われている。多くの外国人観光客はフルレー島から観光施設のある島へ直航するので首都には立ち寄らない。
