5th Theme: Region Region- Formal, Functional, and Vernacular Examples: Formal: a place that is unified by a common political entity (city, state, country) Functional: usually an area of land that has a central point and is connected by a network of transportation and communication systems that help the movement of people, goods, and ideas within that system Vernacular: places in the world that share unifying characteristics, people tend to imagine borders and create “mental maps” of regions.
