A community is a social unit of any size that shares common values, or that is situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a village or town). It is a group of people who are connected by durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties, and who mutually define that relationship as important to their social identity and practice. Although communities are usually small, community may also refer to large groups, such as national communities , international communities , and virtual communities
The word "community" is derived from the Old French comuneté which comes from the Latin communitas (from Latin communis , things held in common).
In human communities, intent , belief , resources , preferences , needs , and risks , may be shared in common, affecting the identity of the participants, and their degree of cohesiveness.
