TYPOLOGIES

2. COMMUNITY
- A community is a term for groups of people living in
somewhat close area, and usually under common rules.
Community is a vital dimension in modern society and a key
element of social organization. The notion of community
suggests positive aspects of society and connections with
others, “good things” that will improve individual well-being
and bring benefits to society as a whole. Community has
emotional overtones. It indicates familiarity, social and
emotional cohesion, and commitment. It implies a degree of
attachment and belonging and a common sense of identity.
Community is anticipated to offer beneficial contributions to
build a strong and vibrant society. Community are the building
blocks that allow us to make sense of the world in which we
live, participate and share experience. They provide a sense
of identity and purpose, a sense of being a part of and
belonging
