Name: _________________________________________________________ Grade Level: ______________

Learning Competency

Overview
Subject Matter: Societal Typologies

In this lesson, the learners are expected to differentiate and understand typologies of communities.

This will also test their critical thinking ability as they answer all the activities given as they go deeper
to the lesson.

Guide Questions:
1. What are the different categories of communities?
2. Who fits in which category of community?
3. How are communities delineated?

Remember!
Urban community

Is something which an individual thought as, an area with high density of population, an area with the availability of basic
requirements, an area of good resources, the area has lots of opportunity of employment and such an area which can be
considered as life-giving for luxurious desires of human or individual.  The word urban community has many meanings,
the term ‘community’, only, denotes two conditions:

 Physical condition
 Social condition

Generally, by an urban area, we mean an area with a high density of population.

Density is not the only a term which may be considered as a definite term to confer a name of “urban city” to the
particular village, area, land, city, town etc. two main factors must be kept in mind while declaring a community as urban,
i.e.

 Absolute population: – it is an accurate numerical value with which the population of a society can be estimated
or known.

 Absolute area: – Refers to a specific, fixed point on the earth’s surface expressed by a coordinate system.

Suburban Community

 Areas are lower density areas that separate residential and commercial areas from one another. They are either
part of a city or urban area, or exist as a separate residential community within commuting distance of a city.

 is a mixed-use or residential area, existing either as part of a city or urban area or as a separate residential

community within commuting distance of a city.

Rural Areas

 Are areas which are not towns or cities. They are often farming or agricultural areas. These areas are sometimes
called "the country" or "countryside". People who live "in the country" often live in small villages, but they might
also live somewhere where there are no other houses nearby.

 Rural is the opposite of urban, which means places such as cities where buildings and places where people work
and live are all close together.

URBAN SUBURBAN RURAL

 Urban communities are
settlements that are highly
congested because the dense
population that can reach
millions within a limited
space.
 Due to the volume of people,
buildings and other structures
are near each other and
economic centers, schools,
and leisure areas are very near
factories, office spaces, and
markets.
 Some people are living in
high- rise buildings because of
limited available space in the
area.
 Suburban communities are
areas that tread between urban
and rural communities. These
settlements are located in the
outskirts of urban areas and
are composed of medium-
sized population.
 Suburban areas are mostly
filled with houses,
subdivisions, and private
estates rather than factories
and shops.
 Access to schools and markets
are farther than in urban areas.
The buildings are low to mid-
rise and people live in houses
with large living spaces and
usually with yards.
 Rural communities are located
in the countryside. The houses
are far from each other and the
density of people living here is
the least from the three.
 Because there are less people,
access to markets and schools
are far and requires a long
drive or different forms of
transport.
 Livelihoods are mostly form
farming and livestock raising.

The problems and challenges are also unique for each community type as seen in some examples below.

URBAN SUBURBAN RURAL

 Pollution  Limited economic  Lack of access to basic
 High cost of living activity needs.
 High crime rate  Underdeveloped markets

 FORMAL and INFORMAL SECTOR

FORMAL SECTOR INFORMAL SECTOR

This sector is composed of establishments, businesses, and
other enterprises that are legal based on their compliance
to the government requirements such as licenses. Because
they have successfully attained all the requirements, they
alongside their workers and customers, are continually
being supervised and protected by the government and its
policies. In exchange, they follow the regulations and also
are taxed by the state.
Those who are part of the informal sector lack the
requirements and licenses from the government. Because
they fail to register, they tend to disregard the regulations
and policies put up by the government, thus, they are not
also taxed in their income and real properties. Since they
are supervised, their workers and customers, in the case of
business establishments, are not protected, thus limiting
their bargaining rights once they make a demand. This
sector is often described by economists as the shadow
economy because it exists behind state supervision.
