• Synonym所轄しょかつNeutralCovers being in charge of an area; used mainly with police and tax offices, as in 「所轄署」. It stresses the responsible office rather than the area itself.
• Synonym管轄かんかつNeutralMeans governing under one's authority, and also the scope of that authority, as in 「管轄外」. 「管区」 refers only to the divided area itself, not the authority.

Use 「管区」 for the area itself that an office governs, as in 「管区気象台」. For jurisdictional authority say 「管轄」; for the police station in charge say 「所轄」.
