[edit] Notes
- ^ It is strongly recommended that the Manual of Style is broadly followed, but this is not required for good articles.
- ^ a b In-line citations, if provided, should follow either the Harvard references or the cite.php footnotes method, but not both in the same article. Science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines.
- ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not necessarily outline every part of the topic, and broad overviews of large topics.
- ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
- ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement for Good articles. However, if images (including other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then they should be used.

[edit] Traditional culture and heritage
Yorkshire's continued existence as a cultural region, and the strong identification of some of its inhabitants with the old county long after the demise of its administrative status in 1974, is noteworthy. This cultural identity is posited to be the product of its unique history and its status as England's largest county. Yet, there are opinions that suggest that this pride in the county is only of 19th century origin.It is not an homogeneous region. Because of its great area the county has several sub-areas each displaying their own unique cultural patterns in economic activity, vernacular architecture, food and dialect.For instance the inhabitants of the Dales have a different heritage and culture from the people of the West Riding coalfield or the boom town of Middlesbrough with its pottery, steel and chemical works. The Ryedale Folk Museum which has exhibits to interpret the history of the North York Moors area, is very different from similar museums in Hull, Halifax or, say, the Caphouse Colliery Museum. A change of the heading Culture to Traditional culture and heritage might more easily allow some of these points to be made without becoming tangled with the more usual meaning of culture as with Culture, media and sport in more conventional articles on places.

- I'm in agreement with this. Most of the material for the articles already exists in this article i.e. Yorkshire, and its sub-articles. I think that the problem will be in its implications for other UK county articles. Cornwall, say, has similar culturally rooted issues.Unless the geography community can be persuaded to accept cultural geography as a valid topic, which it now is, then we shall be hard pressed to have the cultural area article accepted. I tried some time ago here, although maybe they will reconsider the matter.

Vernacular Culture Regions- is one that is perceived to exist by its inhabitants, as evidenced by the widespread acceptance and use of a special regional name. Some vernacular regions are based on physical environmental features; others find their basis in economic, political, or historical characteristics. Vernacular regions, like most culture regions, generally lack sharp borders, and the inhabitants of any given area may claim residence in more than one such region. It grows out of people’s sense of belonging and identification with a particular region. Ex: one popular region in the US “Dixie”. They often lack the organization necessary for functional regions, although they may be centered around a single urban node, and they frequently do not display the cultural homogeneity that characterizes formal regions.
Spirit of place refers to the unique, distinctive and cherished aspects of a place; often those celebrated by artists and writers, but also those cherished in folk tales, festivals and celebrations. It is thus as much in the invisible weave of culture (stories, art, memories, beliefs, histories, etc) as it is the tangible physical aspects of a place (monuments, boundaries, rivers, woods, architectural style, rural crafts styles, pathways, views, and so on) or its interpersonal aspects (the presence of relatives, friends and kindred spirits, and the like).
• What is vernacular culture?
• "rooted in the immediate conditions of social life, homemade, peculiar to a locale, and often outside of, if not in opposition to, official or established culture" (548)
• "vernacular culture is what ordinary people create in their everyday lives" (548)
• obviously, derives from linguistics, where vernacular refers to a region- or people-specific form of language, a usage of language that is quite distinctive and easily attributable to a specific people
• Vernacular culture study offers an alternative to the standard fare of urban anthropology
• urban anthropology conventionally studies territory, politics, social segmentation, and work
• standard divisions in cultural anthropology, which urban anthro inherits • alternatively, incorporating vernacular cultural study into urban anthro yields:
• study of a neighborhood conceptualized in terms other than residential
• study of cultural politics, not politics (which tends to be of dominant politics)
• study of ethnic/racial segmentation as a social construction
• study of work supplemented by studies of domestic life, play, variant religious activities
• that is, incorporating vernacular cultural study into urban anthro yields studies that explore how people express themselves in situations where they exercise some control, some autonomy
• and thus, it allows the researcher to understand the better the values, norms, wishes, desires of the people who are living life in the areas being studied
• more humanistic
Place
• a place is a transformed space: a space with invested meaning
• the meaning is created through interpersonal relationships, through shared experiences
• how to define a city's "places"?
• bureaucratic territories
• zip codes, area codes, police precincts, electoral districts, school districts, zoning
• areas defined by service deliveries
• cable television, messenger delivery, parcel deliveries, taxis, drug traffic
• manufacturing and business areas
• hospital zones, downtown retail, downtown business, business office complexes, Clayton governmental center, Chrysler plant, malls
• local spheres of influence
• parishes, neighborhood assns, Block Watches
• recreational geography of culture and entertainment
• Grandel Center, sports arenas, the Hill, Forest Park
• ceremonial centers
• the Arch, Market Street, Kiener Plaza
• neighborhoods are not always defined by residence
NOTES ON THE HUMAN MOSAIC
Culture is learned collective human behavior.
These learned traits form a way of life held in common by a group of people. People are bound together by learned similarities in speech, movement, livelihood, technology, and social organization.
Culture is the "local, customary way of doing things," and cultural geographers "write about ways of life" (Yi-Fu Tuan).
Cultural geography is the study of how cultural groups vary from place to place. Cultural geography also includes the spatial functioning of society.
Because geographers seek integrated explanations of cultural diversity which encompass factors of the physical environment, cultural geography also offers an ecological perspective.
(pp. 4-5)
Important world-changing ideas from cultural geography
(1) maps (2) human adaptation to habitat (3) human transformation of the earth (4) sense of place (5) spatial organization and interdependence (6) central place theory (7) megalopolis
(p. 4)
A formal cultural region is an area inhabited by people who have one or more cultural traits in common. The borders of formal cultural regions are usually fuzzy; there are cultural border zones rather than sharp boundary lines. Formal cultural regions display a pattern of core versus periphery. (pp. 7-8)
A functional cultural region is an area that has been organized to function politically, socially, or economically. Functional cultural regions have "nodes", central points from where the functions are coordinated and directed. Functional cultural areas often (but not always) have clear, sharp borders. (pp. 10-12)
A vernacular cultural region is a region which is perceived to exist by its inhabitants, as evidenced by the widespread acceptance and use of a special regional name. A vernacular cultural region is typically linked to a people's sense of belonging and regional self-consciousness. (pp. 12-13)
Cultural ecology, the common ground of cultural and physical geographers, studies the cause-and-effect relationships between cultures and their physical environments.
Culture is an adaptive system. Culture facilitates long-term, successful, nongenetic human adaptation to nature. Adaptive strategies are culturally transmitted.
(p. 19)
environmental determinism -- The environment is dominant in shaping culture.
possibilism -- People are the primary architects of culture.
environmental perception -- Different cultures perceive nature differently. Decisions are typically based on distortions of reality.
Humans adapt to their habitat, and they also adapt their habitat to themselves.
(pp. 20-24)
Cultural integration emphasizes the idea that cultural factors are often more important than nature as the causes of certain cultural phenomena.
social science, economic determinism, model building
humanistic geography, place, topophilia, postmodernism

[edit] Pennine Dales fringe area of Yorkshire
The Pennine dales fringe area of Yorkshire forms a narrow zone which is transitional in character.It lies between the upland Yorkshire Dales to the west and the low lying Vale of York to the east. The hilly rural landscape is cut by a number of river valleys.Local variations in the landscape are closely related to the underlying geology.Settlements have building made of local stone.
