Määramispiirkonnas

Määramispiirkonnas is an Estonian locative form of the compound noun määramispiirkond, meaning a designated or destination area. The word combines määrama, meaning to designate or set, with piirkond, meaning area. The inessive form määramispiirkonnas is used to indicate something occurring within that designated area, typically translated as “in the designated/destination area.”

The term is commonly used in contexts where a specific geographic area is defined for a particular purpose. This includes logistics and delivery planning, public administration, urban planning, and service provision, where rules, responsibilities, or procedures may apply only within the defined region. Boundaries and exact meaning are determined by official documents or authority bodies and can vary between sectors or projects. In practice, määramispiirkonnas appears in regulatory texts, service agreements, zoning plans, and planning documents to specify where certain requirements or operations are valid.

Usage notes: as a grammatical form, määramispiirkonnas answers questions about location with the sense “in the designated area.” It is one of several spatial terms in Estonian that describe different kinds of geographic zones, and its precise interpretation depends on the context and the issuing authority.
