administrowane

Administrowane is a Polish past passive participle derived from the verb administrować (to administer). It functions as an adjective meaning “administered” or “subject to administration,” used to describe a noun that is under formal control or oversight by an authority rather than self-governed. The term is common in bureaucratic, legal, geographical, and administrative contexts.

Etymology and grammar notes: Administrować is related to administracja and administracyjny. As a participle, administrowane agrees with the noun it modifies and can appear with neuter singular or plural nouns, as in phrases like tereny administrowane (administered areas) and systemy administrowane (administered systems). The form is frequently encountered in formal writing to indicate official management or governance by a designated authority.

Contexts and usage: The expression is used across several domains. In public administration and law, it denotes assets, zones, or processes that are under an agency’s control. In geography or political science, it may describe regions administered by a government or local authority rather than autonomous or self-governing regions. In information technology or facilities management, administrowane systems or services refer to those that are centrally managed by administrators rather than operating independently.

Examples:

- tereny administrowane przez miasto (areas administered by the city)

- systemy administrowane centralnie (centrally administered systems)

- usługi administrowane przez administratora (services administered by an administrator)
