Greetings,

First of all, what is the usual pronunciation of منطقه, please?

Secondly, is منطقه a specific unit of local administration or something more vaguely defined?

به گزارش ایسنا، تصویربرداری مجموعۀ‌ تلویزیونی ماه رمضان شبکه‌ تهران هم‌اینک در منطقه‌ی دربند پیگیری می‌شود و سکانس‌های اصلی با هدایت فرزاد موتمن در حال تصویربرداری است.

All the best, and many thanks,
