Regions

In class on Friday we talked about regions. A region is an unique area. Geographers can identify three different types of regions. The three types are a Formal region, a Functional region and, a Vernacular region. A formal region is a area in which everyone shares a common one or more distinctive characteristics. A functional region is a area organized around a node or a focal point. And last but not least a vernacular region is a area that people believe exists as a part of their cultural identity. In conclusion, every location in the world is a part of a region whether it Formal, Functional or Vernacular.
