• a. Country: A country is a region that is identified as a distinct national entity in political geography.
A country may be an independent sovereign state or one that is occupied by another state, as a non-
sovereign or formerly sovereign political division, or a geographic region associated with sets of
previously independent or differently associated people with distinct political characteristics.
• b. City : A city is a large human settlement. It can be defined as a permanent and densely settled
place with administratively defined boundaries whose members work primarily on non-agricultural
tasks.
• c. Neighborhood : A neighborhood is an area where people live and interact with one another.
Neighborhoods tend to have their own identity, or "feel" based on the people who live there and the
places nearby.
• d. School: A school is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning
environments for the teaching of students (or pupils ) under the direction of teachers.
• e. Work site: a location where someone works for their employer, a place of employment. Such a
place can range from a home office to a large office building or factory.
• f. Specific population group: A group or number of people living within a specified area or sharing
similar characteristics (such as occupation or age).
