Delimiting regions is one of the fundamental problems in the regional investigation. Traditionally, regions have been delimited by two different viewpoints; one is by the uniformity of areas and another is by the functional connection among areas. Some powerful multivariate techniques have been developed for the analysis of both types of regions. In this paper, using Interpretive Structural Modeling(ISM)technique, the authors suggest a new systems approach to dynamic regional definition, and test empirically from data of interregional commodity trade in the U. S. The result is quite satisfactory. This fact shows that ISM is greatly effective as a classification technique for handling interractive pattern data.
