Area, zone (6)

I believe the answer is:

region

This clue is a double definition.

'area' is the first definition.
(I know that area can be written as region)

'zone' is the second definition.
(I know that zone can be written as region)

(Other definitions for region that I've seen before include "Tract or area" , "Area, zone" , "Area, territory" , "Ignore (anag) - area" , "Area, location" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
