The following
outline is provided as an overview of topics relating to
community.
A community is a
group of
people whose
identity as a group lies in their interaction and sharing. Many factors may affect the identity of the participants and their degree of adhesion, such as intent,
belief,
resources, preferences, needs and
risks.
Commune (intentional community) – intentional community where most resources are shared and there is little or no personal property (as opposed to communities that only share housing)
Monastery – community of
monks practicing a religious discipline
Community organizing – process by which people are brought together to act in common self-interest
Community building – the more informal (or intangible) aspects of community development; the establishment, broadening and deepening of links between community members
