LESSON 4: TYPOLOGIES OF COMMUNITIES

The table below details the differences between formal and informal community. An
example of a formal community is a business firm, where people are assigned
positions based on their job descriptions and functions. One example of an informal
organization is a group of jogging enthusiasts who meet once a week at the city park.

Social Space is defined as a physical or virtual space which members of the

community visit or where they stay. Some examples of social space include the social
center, online social media, or other gathering spaces where people gather or interact.
Some social spaces are owned by the government, such as town squares, parks, and
beaches. These are spaces generally open and accessible to people. Private social
spaces, on the other hand, are owned and regulated regularly, such as shopping
malls. These social spaces may be used by community residents for their gatherings
or simple recreation activities.

Rural-Urban Communities

Communities may be located in either rural or urban areas. These areas have distinct
characteristics.
The following are the three general characteristics of rural areas:
• Population density is found to be low, meaning few people populate the entire
• community, and they tend to live far apart from each other.
• The area is situated geographically distant from larger urban areas.
• Each area typically specializes in a particular form of livelihood, such as
farming.

Characteristics of urban areas are as follows:

• There is higher population density, with more diverse subgroups (ethnic, racial
• cultural, age, sexual orientation)
• Various industries and businesses are found in the areas.
• A large portion of people lived in rented apartments or homes.
• Transportation is readily available although this may be costly
• Urban areas are highly developed with many buildings and structures
• Traffic and noise levels are high in these areas
• The large population gives rise to close interactions among many people
• as well as more intense political involvement among citizens.

There are also various sectors in different communities. Community sectors are
various groups or subdivisions of the larger community divided based on
characteristics
such as political, economic, cultural, and religious beliefs. The various sectors that
exist in
all communities may be categorized according to the following sectors with their

Local and Global Communities

A local community is characterized by close social integration and physical proximity.
Moreover, a local community is defined as a group of people sharing the same
environment and conditions intent, belief, resources, preferences, and needs and
risks. These factors may affect the identities of the individuals as well as the
community’s degree of cohesiveness.

In addition, a local community may consist of business operators, public agency

staff, residents with interactions that may include sharing of resources, information,
and assistance. Commercial relationships may also be present between local
businesses and consumers.

The global community, on the other hand, is a system characterized by integration

and interaction between individuals and groups away from each other in time or
space or both. The word “global” refers to the nation of the world considered closely
connected by modern telecommunication, though they are economically, socially and
politically independent (Sebastian, 2009, and dictionary.com)

The domains and certain aspects of the local and global communities intertwine.
Establishments, programs, and other events that started in the local setup may
eventually grow to have a global presence, such as the Jollibee fast food chain.

Proposed plans and programs in the local community, when implemented

successfully,

activities, programs during calamities etc. roof of a church refers to Catholic Church.
