What kinds of regions can be classified as human regions?

Answer 1

Basically there are three kinds of regions in the study of human geography. A summary of these three regions are as follows:

A. Core Regions. These are areas that dominate trade, control of advanced technology, and include societies that have high levels of productivity within diversified economies. Examples of this are found in Europe, the USA , Canada and Australia;

B. Peripheral Regions. These are areas with under developed economies with low levels of productivity. They may often have narrowly specialized economies. In cases where the narrow products are unique & in demand, they may help to a large degree in keeping the area more prosperous then would normally be the case. These regions are often referred to as "developing " areas or 3rd world areas.

These compose what some specialists also term "leased developed countries". Many times these economies are subject to being dominated by the countries in the Core Regions. Examples found here would include such areas as Ethiopia, Nepal, Bolivia & Guatemala; and

C. Semi-peripheral Regions. These regions contain areas and or nations that fall in-between the Core & Peripheral zones, if you will. They are developed to the extent that they are not dominated by Core Regions, but instead can be found dominating the Peripheral Regions. Examples of this would include countries such as Mexico, Taiwan and India.
