Villages Of Bhutan
Villages in Bhutan are made up of groups of individual settlements, grouped together by chiwog for election purposes. This list is based mainly on information of the Election Commission, which not necessarily follows the general usage. Village populations vary widely, from dozens to hundreds. Generally, greater numbers of villages within chiwogs indicate lower populations in the vast majority of those villages. Villages in Bhutan are governed directly by Gewog (village block) governments, which in turn are subordinate to Dzongkhag (district) or Dungkhag (sub-district) governments. Villages in Bhutan may be distinguished from Thromdes (municipalities), which are larger settlements not part of any Chiwog, and which may be self-governing under the Local Government Act of Bhutan 2009.

Chiwog
Chiwogs of Bhutan (; Wylie: ''spyi 'og'') refer to the 1044 basic electoral precincts of Bhutan. Chiwogs are also former third-level administrative divisions of Bhutan below ''gewog''s. Until 2009, they were the equivalent of municipalities or parishes, containing clusters of villages and hamlets. There are generally 5 or 6 chiwogs in each gewog, and in turn several gewogs in each ''dzongkha'' (district). To illustrate, there are 50 chiwogs in Paro District alone. The majority of chiwogs are small rural communities; more densely populated areas tend to be separate thromdes, or municipalities. A Chiwog Disaster Management Plan (CDMP) exists in some chiwogs to form an effective responsive to any local disasters. Often, participants in the CDMP are also trained at a geo level for better coordination. Legal status Until 2009, chios were administrative divisions subordinate to geos. Under the 2008 Constitution, chios are mentioned only as electorates, defined as "under a gewog," bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
