Definition
就地 (jiù dì) means 'on the spot' or 'locally', emphasizing doing something in the same place without relocating. It differs from 当场 (dāng chǎng), which stresses 'at the event scene' and often implies a reaction, and from the more formal 实地 (shí dì), used for on-site inspections or fieldwork.
