Category description

The terms location and place in geography are used to identify a point or an area on the Earth’s surface or elsewhere. The term ‚location‘ generally implies a higher degree of can certainty than „place“ which often has an ambiguous boundary relying more on human/social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry.
A place, such as a settlement or suburb is likely to have a well-defined name but have a boundary which is less well defined and which varies by context.
