Region is most commonly a geographical term that is used in various ways among the different branches of geography. In general, a region is a medium-scale area of land or water, smaller than the whole areas of interest (which could be, for example, the world, a nation, a river basin, mountain range, and so on), and larger than a specific site. A region may be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States"). Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, human characteristics, and functional characteristics. As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography. In the fields of physical geography, ecology, biogeography, zoogeography, and environmental geography, regions tend to be based on natural features such as ecosystems or biotopes, biomes, drainage basins, mountain ranges, soil types, and so on.

Q. I am a Flight Attendant for Delta Airlines and recently worked on a GPT (Gulf-port/Biloxi MS) to ATL (Atlanta GA) flight and noticed that they were calling GPT an international airport when in fact it doesn't have any scheduled airline service to an international city outside of the US. They also consider PFN (Panama City FL) an international airport. Pensacola has a way bigger airport big enough to use 757's and we call it a regional airport. Whats up with that? Asked by AAGAAG - Mon Mar 23 17:03:46 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The first answer is incorrect -- size has nothing to do with the designation. The only thing that makes an airport an international airport (as opposed to a regional airport) is the presence of customs and immigration facilities at the airport -- if it has these facilities, it can be designated as an international airport. While international airports are typically larger than regional airports, this is not always the case -- the airport in Bellingham, Washington, for example, is an international airport because it has the proper facilities. The airport, however, is very small, with only a few commercial flights in and out of it each day -- and none of these flights are to destinations in Canada.
