Prefecture. A prefecture is any sort of administrative jurisdiction or a controlled subdivision in countries that utilize prefects, and within some international church structures. In ancient Rome, a prefecture referred to a district governed by an appointed prefect.
The Meiji Fuhanken sanchisei administration created the first prefectures to replace the provinces of Japan in 1868. Each prefecture's chief executive is a directly-elected governor (ç¥äº, chiji) . Ordinances and budgets are enacted by a unicameral assembly (è­°ä¼, gikai) whose members are elected for four-year terms.
