WHAT IS

COMMUNITY?

Estrada, Adriene Emerald L.


I- BSE Filipino
INTRODUCTION
• What does belonging to a community
actually mean? It may appear simple at
first, a collection of individuals who
shared interest or reside in the same
location. However, a community is much
more than a group of people when you
dig deeper. It's about the bonds that
unite us and establish an environment
where we feel appreciated, understood,
and supported. Mutual respect, shared
experiences and a desire to look out for
one another are the foundations of
communities.

So, what truly defines acommunity beyond


COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY
Noted by community development specialist and American
social work researcher, Arlien Johnson once wrote that the
term “community” refers to a group of people gathered
together in any geographic area, large or small, who
have common interests, actual or potentially
recognized in the social welfare field.

To paraphrase the words of Johnson, a community is a


collective of people with similar interests and goals
whether living in the same geographic locality or not.
The meaning of community may actually vary depending on
the objectives of a program to be conducted there at.
CATEGORIES OF COMMUNITY
Communities can be broadly categorized into two types: Geographical
communities and Functional communities. These categories reflect the way
people come together and the nature of their interactions.

Geographical Functional

THE EMERGENCE OF
RELEVANT
COMMUNITIES
RELEVANT
COMMUNITY
A certain type of community has
recently emerged. Some refer to it as
just social movements but its definition
points out that it surfaced out of the
two other types of community. It is
called a relevant community that
defines a group of people having similar
interests and goals as the communities
around them. These populations have
common interests in changing existing
institutions to their advantage in order
to achieve redistribution of resources.
It is geared towards organization of the
poor.
CONCLUSION
• In conclusion, these different types of
communities, whether functional or purposeful,
demonstrate the power of unity and
collaboration in driving meaningful change.
They show us how people, even from different
backgrounds or places can come together
when they share a common purpose or belief.
The bonds formed within these communities
go beyond shared interests, they are driven by
a collective desire to make a difference. By
working together, individuals empower one
another, creating a sense of belonging and
shared responsibility. In the end, the efforts
within these communities not only uplift their
members but also contribute to building a
more compassionate and unified society for all.
