Cambodia is divided into 25provinces (Khmer:ខេត្ត,khétt[kʰaet]). The capitalPhnom Penh is not a province but an "autonomous municipality" (Khmer:រាជធានី,réachthéani[riəceaʔtʰiəniː]; lit. 'capital'), equivalent to a province governmentally and administered at the same level as the other 24 provinces.

Phnom Penh has both the highest population and the highestpopulation density of all provinces, but is the second smallest in land area. The largest province by area isMondulkiri and the smallest isKep which is also the least populated province. Mondulkiri has the lowest population density.

Each province is administered by a governor, who is nominated by theMinistry of Interior, subject to approval by thePrime Minister.

Provinces are divided into districts (ស្រុក,srŏk). The districts in Phnom Penh are calledkhan (ខណ្ឌ) normally written as for addresses in English followed by the districts' names (Ex:Khan Chamkar Mon; lit. 'Chamkar Mon District'). The number of districts in each province varies, from two in the smallest provinces to 14 inBattambang,Prey Veng, andSiem Reap. Further subdivision levels arecommunes (ឃុំkhum), and further subdivided into villages (ភូមិ,phum). In Phnom Penh,sangkat (សង្កាត់) is used in the place ofkhum and, similar tokhan, normally preferred for writing addresses in English (Ex: Sangkat Mittapheap; lit. 'Mittapheap Commune').

History

[edit]

1974: TheKhmer Rouge government did away with the former Cambodian traditional administrative divisions. Instead of provinces,Democratic Kampuchea was divided into seven geographic zones (Khmer:តំបន់,tâmbán): the Northwest, the North, the Northeast, the East, the Southwest, the West, and the Centre. These zones were derived from divisions established by the Khmer Rouge when they fought against theKhmer Republic during theCambodian Civil War.^[2]
2008: On 22 December 2008, KingNorodom Sihamoni signed a decree that changed the municipalities ofKep,Pailin andSihanoukville into provincial municipalities, as well as adjusting several provincial borders.^[3]
2013: On 31 December 2013, KingNorodom Sihamoni signed a decree that splitKampong Cham into two provinces: Kampong Cham (west of theMekong River) andTboung Khmum (east of the Mekong River).^[4]
2018: In September 2018, Interior MinisterSar Kheng proposed establishing two more provinces, with areas taken fromKandal,Mondulkiri, andRatanakiri.^[5] Prime MinisterHun Sen rejected the plan.
