Territorialization

Territorialization refers to the process by which a specific area becomes defined and organized according to certain rules, cultures, or identities. This can involve establishing boundaries, whether they are physical, social, or political. In historical contexts, it might relate to nations asserting control over land, while in social settings, it can refer to communities claiming spaces for their collective identity. Territorialization can affect how people interact with each other and their environment, influencing everything from governance to cultural practices and economic activities.
