Summary/Abstract: A network representation is introduced for visualizing hierarchical region structures on various spatial scales. The method is based on a spring-block model approach borrowed from physics; it was previously used successfully to detect regions in any geographical space. Transylvania, USA and Hungary are used to demonstrate the network construction method.
