Activity 11.8
On a piece of paper, jot down what you remember or consider the definition of a community is. Once you have done this, review Topic 3 of the EMG100 Study Guide to compare your thoughts to the earlier studies.
A community is a stable group of people who have a common basis for living or relating together, and depend on each other for certain needs.

The basis may be historical, locality, common experiences or any other factor that has meaning for those involved.

A community is organised to meet certain of its members’ requirements and allocates functions to individuals or groups on its behalf, including leaders, representatives, service providers and subgroups with common interests, forming a complex network of supportive and need satisfying relationships.
