Célterület

Célterület is a Hungarian term that denotes a clearly defined geographic or conceptual space designated for a specific purpose or activity. It is formed from cél (goal, target) and terület (area, region), and its meaning can vary by context, usually referring to the area where actions, measurements, or decisions are directed.

In military, safety and surveillance contexts, célterület refers to the area that is targeted or monitored. The designation typically includes boundaries and may specify access rules, operational priorities, or monitoring requirements. In planning and policy work, the term is used for zones chosen for development, conservation, or program implementation, defining what activities are allowed and how success will be evaluated.

In research and data collection, célterület often means the study area or scope of analysis—the geographical or thematic space from which data are gathered and conclusions are drawn. In sports, training, and archery, it designates the area aimed at or used for practice and competition, such as a target zone or scoring zone.

The concept is common in formal Hungarian language and appears in official documents, maps, contracts, and project plans. Depending on context, equivalents in English include target area, study area, scope, or field of operation. Understanding the exact boundaries and rules associated with a célterület is essential for planning, execution, and evaluation within a given domain.
