a geography:
... a geographic area seen as an ordered arrangement of constituent features, such as bodies of land, elevations, habitability, population, usage, resources, development, bodies of water, climate, et cetera, as a complex of the earth's surface; a location identity referred to in terms of geographic position in combination with location data categories that are meaningful within the site selection process. As an example of use of the latter definition a former corporate real estate executive is quoted as once saying the following:
Location, location, location is not as important these days with really big projects. It is only pertinent if a certain geography is targeted (source of quote). The quote indicates that the term, a geography, can have the same meaning as site selection area.
A related term is economic geography. The website, www.highbeam.com, once offered a definition of economic geography stating that it's the ... analysis of the spatial distribution of the transportation and consumption of resources, goods, and services, and their effects on the landscape. The quote and more is now available through Wikipedia. The term is pointed out in its relationship to enterprise and economic development.
