Concept of Region:
Region is a perceived segment of space which is different from others on the basis of one or more defining features. The defining characteristic may be natural (taiga forest region), or may be cultural (Hindi speaking belt) or economic (industrial conurbations).
A region includes several contiguous homogenous territories, although occasionally non-contiguous spatial units are also put under one region, e.g., India is a political region with Lakshadweep & Andaman & Nicobar Islands as the non-contiguous units; the Hawaii Island & Alaska in the USA are examples of non-contiguous regions.
Characteristics of Region:
1. Each region has a specific feature.
2. Each region has unique characteristics.
3. The elements of region are interrelation in each other.
4. All regions have a specific boundary.
