Regionalisation

Short description: Tendency to form decentralised regions

Regionalisation is the tendency to form decentralised regions.

Regionalisation or land classification can be observed in various disciplines:

* In agriculture, see Agricultural Land Classification.
* In biogeography, see Biogeography.
* In ecology, see Ecological land classification.
* In geography, it has two ways: the process of delineating the Earth, its small areas or other units into regions and a state of such a delineation.
* In globalisation discourse, it represents a world that becomes less interconnected, with a stronger regional focus.
* In politics, it is the process of dividing a political entity or country into smaller jurisdictions (administrative divisions or subnational units) and transferring power from the central government to the regions; the opposite of unitarisation. See Regionalism (politics).
* In sport, it is when a team has multiple "home" venues in different cities. Examples of regionalized teams include a few teams in the defunct American Basketball Association, or the Green Bay Packers when they played in both Green Bay and Milwaukee from 1933 to 1994.
* In linguistics, it is when a prestige language adopts features of a regional language, such as how, in medieval times, Church Latin developed regional pronunciation differences in the countries it was used, including Italy, France , Spain , Portugal, England , Germany , Denmark , Hungary, and Slavic countries.
