- Abstract
Objective: To establish a theoretical-conceptual approach that bases the delimitation of a region as a scale of study within research focused on social development management issues. Methodology: Analysis of different theoretical aspects that conceive the region from geographical, sociological and economic perspectives. Results: Proposal for the delimitation of the region category as a spatial scale for the study and management of social development. Limitations: The proposal presented does not consider region delimitations from other theoretical perspectives than those addressed in the methodology. Conclusions: The region constitutes an appropriate scale for the study and management of social development in two senses. First, from an epistemological perspective, by constituting a level of spatial resolution in which economic, social and political processes can be studied and analysed; second, in an ontological sense, as a geographical reality that demands to be understood in its complexity for the planning and management of its development.
