Definition in Chinese

指某一段土地或地点，侧重表示该处的地理位置和使用适合性，常用于评价商业或居住场所的立地好坏。zhǐ mǒu yí duàn tǔ dì huò dì diǎn cè zhòng biǎo shì gāi chù de dì lǐ wèi zhì hé shǐ yòng shì hé xìng cháng yòng yú píng jià shāng yè huò jū zhù cháng suǒ de lì dì hǎo huài

Word origin

The compound 地段 (dìduàn, "land section") joins 地 (dì, "land") with 段 (duàn, "section"), so its structure points to one usable section of land rather than an exact point.

Usage tips

  • In everyday speech, 地段 (dìduàn, "location") often appears with words meaning good or suitable because speakers are assessing a site's practical value, not simply identifying where it is.
