The comarca in Spain
The term
comarca is used in several regions of the
Iberian Peninsula.
- In Catalonia and Aragon, the comarca exists as a local government area, and has a representative comarcal council.
- In the Valencian Community, the comarca exists only as a traditional region with no administrative competences. They are legally referred as homologated territorial demarcations instead of as comarques.
- In Galicia the comarca or bisbarra are tradional divisions of the land and enjoy limited official recognition, but has no administrative entity.
In other places, such as
Extremadura, the
comarca may be simply a loosely-defined region.
Because of the
comarca's long-standing use, it's sometimes used as the basis for the promotion of
tourism, with emphasis on local cultural tradition and history.
Panama
In Panama, the
comarca indígena is an administrative region for an area with a substantial
Indian population. Three
comarcas exist as equivalent to a province, with two smaller
comarcas subordinate to a province and considered equivalent to a
corregimiento (municipality).
Brazil
In Brazil, the
comarca is a territorial division in the
judicial system. It indicates the area covered by a lower level
court. It may correspond to a
municipality, or group together several small municipalities under one court.
