What is It
DEFINING COMMUNITY
A community is a social unit (a group of living things) with commonality such
as norms, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense
of place situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or
neighborhood) or in virtual space through communication platforms. Durable relations that
extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community, important to
their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions such as family, home, work,
government, society,
or humanity at large.

high density of population, an area with the availability of basic requirements,
an area of good resources, the area has lots of opportunity of employment and
such an area which can be considered as life-giving for luxurious desires of
human.
A rural area is an open swath of land that has few homes or other buildings,
and not very many people. A rural areas population density is very low. Many
people live in a city, or urban area. Their homes and businesses are located
very close to one another.

Suburban areas are lower density areas that separate residential and
commercial areas from one another. They are either part of a city or urban
area, or exist as a separate residential community within commuting distance
of a city. As cars became the dominant way for people to get to work, suburbs
grew.

CHAPTER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
2
What’s in
Community Engagement
It is the process of working collaboratively with and through groups of people
affiliated by geographic proximity, special interest, or similar situations to address
issues affecting the well-being of those people It is a powerful vehicle for bringing about
environmental and behavioral changes that will improve the health of the community
and its members It often involves partnerships and coalitions that help mobilize
resources and influence systems, change relationships among partners, and serve
as catalysts for changing policies, programs, and practices (CDC, 1997).
'Community engagement' is therefore a strategic process with the specific purpose
of working with identified groups of people, whether they are connected by geographic
location, special interest, or affiliation to identify and address issues affecting their well-
being.
The linking of the term 'community' to 'engagement' serves to broaden the scope,
shifting the focus from the individual to the collective, with the associated implications
for inclusiveness to ensure consideration is made of the diversity that exists within any
community.
