A province in the northwest of North Korea. It borders China across the Yalu River. It was newly established in 1954. Its area is about 1,400 square kilometers. It has one city (Hyesan) and 10 counties. Its location is Hyesan City. The province is topographically dominated by the Korean peninsula's highest peak, Mt. Paektu (2,750 meters), and the Gaema Plateau, with an average altitude of over 1,000 meters. However, it is not very undulating, with more than 40% of the area having a slope of less than 15 degrees. The Baekdu Hwa Mountains, Mateonryeong Mountains, Buksbaek Mountains, and Yeonhwa Mountains run almost from north to south, and the Bujeonryeong Mountains run west-southwest, bordering the province. It is a highland region with a low average temperature of 4°C and low annual precipitation of around 600 mm. Ryanggang Province's main industries are forestry and lumber processing, which are based on its forest resources. Log production accounts for 40% of the province's gross domestic product. The main production areas are Yupyong, Yenan, Taepyeong, and Samjiyon. Lumber processing is carried out in Yupyong, Pungsan, and Yenan. Mineral resources include copper in Gapsan, Unhung, and Namgye, iron ore in Pungsan, anthracite in Hyesan, and magnesite in Baekam. Agriculture is centered on cold-resistant crops such as potatoes, flax, and hops, and in the mountain and plateau regions, sheep and cattle are raised, as well as beekeeping.

北朝鮮の北西部にある道。鴨緑江(おうりょくこう)を隔て、中国と国境を接している。1954年新設された道である。面積約1400平方キロメートル。行政区画は1市(恵山)、10郡。道所在地は恵山市。地形は朝鮮半島の最高峰白頭山(2750メートル)と蓋馬(かいま)高原が全道にまたがり、平均高度1000メートル以上の高地である。しかし起伏が少ないので、傾斜15度以下の地域が40%以上を占めている。白頭火山脈、摩天嶺(まてんれい)山脈、北水白山脈、蓮花(れんか)山脈がほぼ北から南へ走り、赴戦嶺(ふせんれい)山脈が西南西に道境を界しながら走っている。高地帯で、平均気温が4℃と低く、年降水量も600ミリメートル内外で少ない。両江道の産業は山林資源による林業および木材加工業が主である。原木生産は国内総生産の40%を占めている。その主産地は輸平、延岩、太平、三池淵(さんちえん)などである。木材加工業は輸平、豊山、延岩で行われている。地下資源は甲山、雲興、南渓の銅、豊山の鉄鉱、恵山の無煙炭、白岩のマグネサイトなどが採掘されている。農業は耐寒性作物が主でジャガイモ、亜麻(あま)、ホップを産出し、山地高原地方ではメンヨウ、ウシの牧畜のほか養蜂(ようほう)が行われている。 [魚 塘] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
