Question

distinguish between homogenous region and functional regions

Answer 1

A formal region is a specific area that is defined by economics, physical properties, culture or government. A formal region is also known as a uniform region as it shares one or more physical or cultural features. Such formal locations are called uniform since they are combined with, uniform soil and uniform climate that result in uniform land use, settlements and mode of life within a region


A region that is specifically divided or located for a function is called a functional region. A functional region is made up of a specific location and area surrounding it. Areas containing a kind of service, such as cable television, or points on a map that are a terminal for an activity, such as travel or communication via telephone can also be named as functional regions.
