Region
Regions are an area or division, especially part of a country or the world having definable characteristics but not always fixed boundaries.
In the fields of physical geography, ecology, biogeography, zoogeography, and environmental geography, regions tend to be based on natural features such as ecosystems or biotopes, biomes, drainage basins, natural regions, mountain ranges, soil types.
The oceanic division into maritime regions is used in conjunction with the relationship to the central area of the continent, using directions of the compass.
For the most part, the images of the world are derived as much from academic studies, from all types of media, or from personal experience of global exploration.
The main aim is to understand or define the uniqueness or character of a particular region, which consists of natural as well as human elements.
For example, in identifying European "source regions" in early American colonization efforts, he defines and describes the Northwest European Atlantic Protestant Region, which includes sub-regions such as the "Western Channel Community", which itself is made of sub-regions such as the English West Country of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and Dorset.
Instead he writes of "discrete colonization areas", which may be named after colonies but rarely adhere strictly to political boundaries.
Among other historic regions of this type, he writes about "Greater New England" and its major sub-regions of "Plymouth", "New Haven shores" (including parts of Long Island), "Rhode Island" (or "Narragansett Bay"), "the Piscataqua", "Massachusetts Bay", "Connecticut Valley", and to a lesser degree, regions in the sphere of influence of Greater New England, "Acadia" (Nova Scotia), "Newfoundland and The Fishery/The Banks".
The names often evoke certain positive qualities of the area and suggest a coherent tourism experience to visitors.
Famous examples of regions created by a government or tourism bureau include the United Kingdom's Lake District[4] and California's Wine Country.
Sometimes a region associated with a religion is given a name, like Christendom, a term with medieval and renaissance connotations of Christianity as a sort of social and political polity.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints uses regions similar to dioceses and parishes, but uses terms like ward and stake.
The word "region" is taken from the Latin regio (derived from regere, 'to rule'), and a number of countries have borrowed the term as the formal name for a type of subnational entity (e.g., the región, used in Chile).
The government of the Philippines uses the term "region" (in Filipino, rehiyon) when it is necessary to group provinces, the primary administrative subdivision of the country.
Examples are: Functional regions are usually understood to be the areas organised by the horizontal functional relations (flows, interactions) that are maximised within a region and minimised across its borders so that the principles of internal cohesiveness and external separation regarding spatial interactions are met (see, for instance, Farmer and Fotheringham, 2011;[6] Klapka, Halas, 2016;[7] Smart, 1974[8]).
The functional region is conceived as a general concept while its inner structure, inner spatial flows, and interactions need not necessarily show any regular pattern, only selfcontainment.
Some of the very few examples of an Army Region are each of the Eastern, Western, and southern (mostly in Italy) fronts in Europe during World War II.
The spatial attributes are studied with the help of media outputs in shape of images which are contested in nature and pattern as well where politics is inseparable.
