Question: what is community?
Answer:

Most community development professionals point to the classic definition of community, which includes community as a place (geographic referent), a community of shared interest (union or social group), and/or a community of common experience (e.g., holocaust survivors). There is a lot of overlap in these three phrases, but you might find all three of them used when you hear people speaking of their community.
