A community, broadly speaking, is a group of people who interact with one another and who feel
connected to one another due to shared interests or traits.
A community is a group of people with a common goal and objective who live in a specific 9
geographic region and have the potential to engage with one another (Dryer ‘s den).
Any community ‘s ability to function depends on its members ‘shared ideals, standards,
communication, and supportive behaviors. Some communities may share practically everything,
whereas other communities (big, dispersed, and made up of individuals) may just share their
involvement in particular aims and common interests.
Geographic communities are those whose boundaries are determined mostly by geography. A
geographic community might be a city, town, or neighborhood, for instance. Geographically defined
communities are easy to mobilize for action and provide a clear target for the analysis of health needs
that serves as the foundation for planning health programs.

Another way to recognize a community is via a shared objective or interest. Even though they
are geographically dispersed, a group of people can come together as a shared interest community if
they share a common interest or objective. (For instance, a community of disabled people dispersed
throughout a big city might form as a result of a shared desire for better facilities for people in
wheelchairs or other disabilities.)
