On other hand in the multilevel planning process, the national territory is divided into small territorial units their number depending upon the size of a country. Its administrative geographical and regional structure. It integrates the physical, economic and social goals within each such region and between different sets of regions from local to national level. 1.2 BASIS OF REGIONALIZATION (Brock, Jan, Om 1965) Regional approach in geographic studies has been longs regarded as ‗inherently geographic‘ or rather the focal concept of all geographic work . It focuses on a particular area of the earth and studies it through the whole gamut of geographical factors-physical, biotic and human (both visible and invisible) which working in unison and intersecting among themselves and 2 with other areas over a long period of time provide relative homogeneity or a distinctive character to it rom the neighboring areas. The central theme is not what Hart shorn decries as the phenon enology of the landscape nor is it much concerned with the distribution of the various individual phenomena its main concern is with the systematic study of the synthetic results and expressions of the various phenomena a really or spatially related and interconnected in a particular region and leading to its homogeneity, although it is quite possible that some of the factors may not be causally related. (Dickinson 1969) Regional geography has regarded by its most devoted protagonists to be concerned with the derivation or determination and analysis of ―the Co-variants of a real distributions on the surface of the earth.‖ Regions are determined and further divided into individual units according to the degree of correspondence or homogeneity of the various geographical phenomena or ―a real variables‖ Many German regional geographers define ‗region‘ in terms of a distinctive physiognomic (formal) and physiological (functional) similarity or homogeneity which results from a distinctive assembly of ―spectrally arranged things‖. Min shell 1967 the term ― region‖ is nebulous in character: the very concept, purpose and method of study and the size and shape of the region etc. vary To that extent also, then the ―delimitation of a region is always based on a mental judgment‖ it has been regarded indeed as a subjectively conceived idea screened through either subjectively or even instinctively chosen defining criteria or through objective analysis of the variables or, more often, by a combination of the two sets of factors. The chief criticism leveled against the concept of region arises out of its incapability of being defined through a standard definition and stand to objective ―the concept of region floats away when one tries to grasp it, and disappears when one loks directly at it, and tries to focus‖. Two views have been brought forth so far in terms of the regional concept: (i) first is that the regional method is a means to an end, which strangely contrasts with, (ii) second, that is rather the older regional concept, that ―regions actually exist ―in nature as objective fact-one could, as it where, discern them. The first view is more purposive and prevalent these days. In fact, the method provides a device for selecting and studying areal groupings of the complex phenomena found on the earth‖ The former concept has, however, prevailed, and has served to fill-in the gap of dualism that was widening between the ‗topical‘ (general or systematic) on the one hand and the regional studies, on the other. Whittles has emphasized the mutually benefiting role of the two fields: ―the study of topical field in geography involves the identification of areas of homogeneity, which is the regional approach; the study of regions that are homogeneous in terms in terms of specific criteria makes use of the topical approach because the defining criteria are ‗topical‘. 3 Systematic geography is more exact, logical, exhaustive and comprehensible, and its regions can be more objectively and technically defined, and criteria comparatively easily standardized and applied elsewhere. Regional geography, in contrast, is not prone to that level of objectivity, standardization and precision, but all the same it has own field, own methods and own approaches. In fact to most geographers, the two branches of geography are complementary, and could be ―even more complementary, even more useful as two different tools which will do different parts of one job, if the differences between their aims and capabilities are further emphasized and clearly defined. The procedures and approach of the regional method, however, are different from those of the systematic geography. This method discover and analyzes the various geographical components and factors and their association and interactions in a discrete area, judges its homogeneity, delineates boundary and discovers its individuality and personality. This result in to a synthesis of the region as a result of the complex association of feature. Such area is then a ‗formal‘ or ‗uniform‘ region as distinct from the ‗nodal‘ or functional region or even a- priori region . For Wooldridge and East, ―the purpose of Regional geography is simply the better understanding for a complex whole by the study of its constituent parts‖. As such, the study of the distinguishable parts and their associated environments is the best toll for the understanding of the wholeness of a country or a region. When C.C. Carter is calling the regions as ―good servants (and) bad masters‖ , he perhaps means that they are not ends in themselves, but can serve well as tools for comprehensive study. (Spate 1957) Likewise, the regions offer good ‗isolates‘ for study. Even if the earth‘s surface, as according to some, is a continuum as perhaps ‗nature‘ abhors lines and boundaries‘, which humans, and most certainly geographers, seem ‗to adore‘ and make all-out attempts to find, it is the human interactions with the physical factors, and more among themselves, which add distinctive traits and characters to the natural continuum, and it is these superimposed characters which offer boundaries, recognized instinctively or objectively by geographers. It is because of this that even thought the region is not capable of easy or standard definition, the concept of region is ‗capable of growth and adaptation‘ for various human objectives. (Mathieson 1968) The frontiers of regional geography have now ―moved from a nature- dominated regional geography to one dominated by Man‖. What we have come to refer to as the probabilistic regional geography, depending now on a multi-variate analysis of factors, relates Nature to stochastic human processes. From a mere description of regions dominated by ‗what‘ and ‗when‘, the study has moved to a systematic analysis to ‗why‘ and ‗how‘ stage. The aim is now to analysis the region in terms of the optimum use of regional resources, physical, biotic, and human including institutional, based on a political and socio-economic rationale within a general stochastic framework. Rather on a different plane and based on a highly revolutionary political idealogy, the 4 dialectic materialists have moved the frontier of regional geography to he voluntarist approach, which has led to the delineation and formation of regional complexes as in Russia and China by envisaging man-in-society complete ―charge of Nature‖. Descriptive regional studies have produced some fascinating works where the auth have chosen, according to their own purpose and ‗mental judgment‘, various criteria to mark and delineate the regional boundaries. Description has now been replaced by explanatory regional studies which are now taking more and more variables with a view to approaching more concrete and precise result and are also bringing in new hierachies for fuller comprehension of the personality of the region.

    SHANKAR IAS ACADEMY TEST 18 - GEOGRAPHY - FULL TEST - ANSWER KEY 1. Ans (a) Explanation: Soil found in Tropical deciduous forest rich in nutrients. 2. Ans (b) Explanation: Sea breeze is caused due to the heating of land and it occurs in the day time 3. Ans (c) Explanation: • Days are hot, and during the hot season, noon temperatures of over 100°F. are quite frequent. When night falls the clear sky which promotes intense heating during the day also causes rapid radiation in the night. Temperatures drop to well below 50°F. and night frosts are not uncommon at this time of the year. This extreme diurnal range of temperature is another characteristic feature of the Sudan type of climate. • The savanna, particularly in Africa, is the home of wild animals. It is known as the ‘big game country. • The leaf and grass-eating animals include the zebra, antelope, giraffe, deer, gazelle, elephant and okapi. • Many are well camouflaged species and their presence amongst the tall greenish-brown grass cannot be easily detected. The giraffe with such a long neck can locate its enemies a great distance away, while the elephant is so huge and strong that few animals will venture to come near it. It is well equipped will tusks and trunk for defence. • The carnivorous animals like the lion, tiger, leopard, hyaena, panther, jaguar, jackal, lynx and puma have powerful jaws and teeth for attacking other animals. 4. Ans (b) Explanation: Rivers of Tamilnadu • The Thamirabarani River (Porunai) is a perennial river that originates from the famous Agastyarkoodam peak of Pothigai hills of the Western Ghats, above Papanasam in the Ambasamudram taluk.

  • Understanding REPORT of the WESTERNGHATS ECOLOGY EXPERT PANEL
    Understanding REPORT OF THE WESTERNGHATS ECOLOGY EXPERT PANEL KERALA PERSPECTIVE KERALA STATE BIODIVERSITY BOARD Preface The Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel report and subsequent heritage tag accorded by UNESCO has brought cheers to environmental NGOs and local communities while creating apprehensions among some others. The Kerala State Biodiversity Board has taken an initiative to translate the report to a Kerala perspective so that the stakeholders are rightly informed. We need to realise that the whole ecosystem from Agasthyamala in the South to Parambikulam in the North along the Western Ghats in Kerala needs to be protected. The Western Ghats is a continuous entity and therefore all the 6 states should adopt a holistic approach to its preservation. The attempt by KSBB is in that direction so that the people of Kerala along with the political decision makers are sensitized to the need of Western Ghats protection for the survival of themselves. The Kerala-centric report now available in the website of KSBB is expected to evolve consensus of people from all walks of life towards environmental conservation and Green planning. Dr. Oommen V. Oommen (Chairman, KSBB) EDITORIAL Western Ghats is considered to be one of the eight hottest hot spots of biodiversity in the World and an ecologically sensitive area. The vegetation has reached its highest diversity towards the southern tip in Kerala with its high statured, rich tropical rain fores ts. But several factors have led to the disturbance of this delicate ecosystem and this has necessitated conservation of the Ghats and sustainable use of its resources. With this objective Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel was constituted by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) comprising of 14 members and chaired by Prof.

  • Vol. 22 - Comoros
    Marubeni Research Institute 2016/09/02 Sub -Saharan Report Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the focal regions of Global Challenge 2015. These reports are by Mr. Kenshi Tsunemine, an expatriate employee working in Johannesburg with a view across the region. Vol. 22 - Comoros June 10, 2016 It was well known that Marilyn Monroe wore Chanel No. 5 perfume when she went to bed. Did you know that Chanel No. 5’s essence (essential oils) comes from the flower called ylang-ylang, which is found in the African country of Comoros? Comoros is also where the so-called “living fossils”, a rare pre-historic species of fish called coelacanths, discovered in 1938 in South Africa after having thought to be extinct, are mostly found. So this time I would like to introduce the country of Comoros, fascinating like Marilyn Monroe and a little mysterious like the coelacanths. Table 1: Comoros Country Information The Union of the Comoros is an archipelago island nation located off the coast of East Africa east of Mozambique and northwest from Madagascar. 4 main islands make up the Comoros archipelago, Grande Comore, Moheli, Anjouan and Mayotte, with Grande Comore, Moheli, and Anjouan forming the Union of Comoros and Mayotte falling under French jurisdiction as an ‘overseas department” or region. The population of the 3 islands making up the Union of the Comoros is about 800,000, while their total land area comes to 2,236 square kilometers, about the same land size as Tokyo, which makes it quite a small country. Nominal GDP is roughly $600 million, which is second from the bottom among the 45 sub-Saharan African countries, just above Sao Tome and Principe, and its population is the 5th lowest (note 1).

  • Geography of India
    VISION IAS GENERAL STUDIES MAINS STUDY MATERIAL GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA PART I 1 www.visionias.wordpress.com India- Physiography India can be divided into four physical divisions. They are: 1) The Northern Mountains 2) The North Indian Plain 3) The Peninsular Plateau 4) The Coastal regions and Islands 2 www.visionias.wordpress.com 1. THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS: The Himalayan mountains form the northern mountain region of India. They are the highest mountain ranges in the world. They have the highest peaks, deep valleys, glaciers etc. These mountain ranges start from Pamir Knot in the west and extend up to Purvanchal in the east. They extend over 2,500 km. They have been formed during different stages of continental drift of the Gondwanaland mass. There are three parallel ranges in the Himalayas. They are (a) The Greater Himalayas or Himadri, (b) The Lesser Himalayas or Himachal and (c) The Outer Himalayas or Siwaliks. 2. NORTH INDIAN PLAIN: The North Indian plain is also called the Gangetic plain. The total area of this plain is about 6,52,000 sq. km. This plain is situated between the Himalayan Mountains in the north and the Peninsular plateau in the south and is formed by the alluvium brought down by the rivers. The plain is very fertile and agriculture is the main occupation of the people. Many perennial rivers flow across the plain. Since the land is almost flat, it is very easy to construct irrigation canals and have inland navigation. It has excellent roads and railways, which are helpful for the establishment of many industries.

  • Odisha As a Multicultural State: from Multiculturalism to Politics of Sub-Regionalism
    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume VII, No II. Quarter II 2016 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 ODISHA AS A MULTICULTURAL STATE: FROM MULTICULTURALISM TO POLITICS OF SUB-REGIONALISM Artatrana Gochhayat Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, under West Bengal State University, Barasat, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT The state of Odisha has been shaped by a unique geography, different cultural patterns from neighboring states, and a predominant Jagannath culture along with a number of castes, tribes, religions, languages and regional disparity which shows the multicultural nature of the state. But the regional disparities in terms of economic and political development pose a grave challenge to the state politics in Odisha. Thus, multiculturalism in Odisha can be defined as the territorial division of the state into different sub-regions and in terms of regionalism and sub- regional identity. The paper attempts to assess Odisha as a multicultural state by highlighting its cultural diversity and tries to establish the idea that multiculturalism is manifested in sub- regionalism. Bringing out the major areas of sub-regional disparity that lead to secessionist movement and the response of state government to it, the paper concludes with some suggestive measures. INTRODUCTION The concept of multiculturalism has attracted immense attention of the academicians as well as researchers in present times for the fact that it not only involves the question of citizenship, justice, recognition, identities and group differentiated rights of cultural disadvantaged minorities, it also offers solutions to the challenges arising from the diverse cultural groups. It endorses the idea of difference and heterogeneity which is manifested in the cultural diversity.
