common characteristics, interests, or goals, often
living in close proximity to one another.
Communities can be defined by geographic

mutual support, creating a sense of belonging
and shared identity.

Shared physical space or common interest.
Social interactions and networks.
A sense of belonging or collective identity.
Shared goals or challenges.

1. Geographical Communities:
These are communities based on a specific
, lOMoAR cPSD| 52021443
physical location, such as a neighborhood,
town, or city. People in these communities
share the same geographic area and often
share local resources, services, and
infrastructure. Geographic communities can
be small (e.g., a village) or large (e.g., a
metropolitan city).
Example: A local neighborhood in a city or
a rural village.
2. Cultural Communities:
Cultural communities are groups of people
who share common cultural values,
traditions, languages, or customs. Members
of these communities often come from
similar ethnic backgrounds or have similar
cultural practices that form the basis of their
connection.
Example: An ethnic group within a city,
such as a community of Somali immigrants
in a particular neighborhood.
3. Professional Communities:
These are groups of people who share a
common profession or occupation.
Professional communities may form for the
purpose of networking, knowledge-sharing,
and supporting each other's career growth.
These communities often provide
professional development, mentorship, and
peer support.
