Regionalisation is understood as an academic practice of spatial delimitation of natural, social, economical, cultural or political spheres of reality. In an action-centered perspective it is understood as everyday practice, not for delimitating the ‘world’ spatially, but for using special references for the economical, political and cultural structuring of social realities. A region is the outcome of these delimitations of space. Regions are not a pre-given fact, it is that what humans make of it. And are helpful for human beings to make sense of the world around them.

Regionalisation is understood as an academic practice of spatial delimitation of natural, social, economical, cultural or political spheres of reality. In an action-centered perspective it is understood as everyday practice, not for delimitating the ‘world’ spatially, but for using special references for the economical, political and cultural structuring of social realities. A region is the outcome of these delimitations of space. Regions are not a pre-given fact, it is that what humans make of it. And are helpful for human beings to make sense of the world around them.
