Region: Any area larger than a point and smaller than the whole entire planet.

areas of unique characteristics, ways of organizing people geographically. There are 3 ways of doing this:

1) distinctive characteristics: area, location, bounderies, other

2) the three types of regions: formal, functional, vernacular(perceptual)

3) regions seen as hierarchy.

Vernacular Region: A region defined by perception (south, western, Hoosier region)


Vernacular Culture Regions (Also called "Popular" or "Perceptual" Regions)-are those perceived to exist by their inhabitants, as evidenced by the widespread acceptance and use of a special regional name. Some vernacular regions are based on physical environmental features; others find their basis in economic, political, or historical characteristics. Vernacular regions, like most culture regions, generally lack sharp borders, and the inhabitants of any given area may claim residence in more than one such region. It grows out of people's sense of belonging and identification with a particular region. Ex: one popular region in the US "Dixie". They often lack the organization necessary for functional regions, although they may be centered around a single urban node, and they frequently do not display the cultural homogeneity that characterizes formal regions.
