Some of the classification region

Territorial division based on the center-periphery region (centreperiphery), although the basic classification, but can be very rough as a useful policy framework for regional development. Bernard Okun and Richard W. Ridrardson create a classification based on the level prosperity and growing capabilities of each region. The level of prosperity expressed by regional income per capita, and the ability to grow is reflected by the growth rate of development. Furthermore, based on these criteria, the various regions can be classified into 4 groups, as follows:

1. The areas of low-income per capita and less developed or low per capita and stagnant regions (LS).
2. The areas of income per capita is high but less developed or high per capita income and stagnant regions (HS).
3. The areas of income per capita is low but growing or low per capita income and growing regions (LG).
4. The areas of high per capita income and growing or high per capita in come, and growing regions (HG).

The classification above can be used to determine the extent of the influence of internal mobility of population resources, capital and other production factors, as well as trade flows between regions, whether to provide benefits or otherwise will create obstacles in the growth areas, both in the region of origin and in destination region. As an example can be mentioned, namely the short-term migration of population out of the area are low-income per capita to developing regions will tend to affect the level of incompatibility between the two regions,
and its influence in the long term will provide the benefits of good growth in the region of origin and in destination areas.

Another example, that migration flows into the region per capita income high and growing per capita than low-income areas and less developed in general consists of low-quality labor force, this will reduce the level of income per capita in the destination, in other hand reduces the labor supply in the region of origin, which in turn tend to be increasing income per capita in the region.

J. Friedmann and W. Aloson showing classification consisting of four development areas, namely (i) metropolitan regions, (1I) deoelopmenat xes, (iii) the frontier regions, d an (iv) depressed regions. Metropolitan regions or metropolitan areas are often referred to as a core regions (core areas). These development centers are usually the big cities with all the activities and facilities industry, trade, transport and communications, finance and banking, and government administration, all of which have major influence on the development of surrounding areas (hinterland) and other small towns (small centers).

Development axes or axis of development, covering areas located on the transportation network that connects two or more metropolitan areas. Roughly speaking we can say that the prospects of development these areas will more or less proportional to the level and extent of development of the territories they relate. As an example can be noted that the axis of development in Japan focuses on three major areas namely the Tokyo-Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka-Kobe.
Frontier regions or border areas. With the advancement of new technology, population pressure, as well as new national goals often point to encourage development in areas that have not been processed (oirgin areas).

Depressed regions or areas of stagnation or decline in development because it has no potential for development of reliable resources, such as arid and arid regions. Other zoning system in some countries could be offered, for example in the Netherlands (Regional Economic Policy 1977-1980) classification consists of (i) centers
lgrowth scattered growth centers), (ii) the region that has a drive for development (incentiae area) located in the Northeast, (iii) the restructured region (restructuring area) who are at the tengatr, and (iv) areas that have been restricted (restriction area \ that is the province located in the South.

In France in the homogeneous region are met: (i) areas that are very advanced (the most highly developed regions) consisting of the city of Paris and the surrounding areas, the areas north and east, (ii) the newly developed area (The
newly developing zones) such as regions of Lyon and Provence, and (iii) areas that are underdeveloped and slow growth (less developed and Slowly growing regions) which includes the French territories of the West, Southwest and Central .. In Canada there Hartland terms of concentration of industrial activities and their supporters are more advanced than the hinterland (the back)
