Are there communities in other countries in the world?

Other countries in the world also have communities.

The word "community" comes from Latin, which means the same thing, close partnership.

In the early 1930s, Mr. Fei Xiaotong translated the word "Community" in English when he translated a book "Community and Society" by German sociologist Tonnis (1887), which was later quoted by many scholars and gradually passed down. The word "community" was originally applied to sociological research by German sociologist Tonnis. In recent years, many sociologists in China have begun to make in-depth and detailed research on "community", and their understanding and understanding of "community" are different. For example, Fan thinks: "Community refers to individuals or families living in a certain area. Due to the specific scope formed for political, social, cultural and educational purposes, the cultures and lifestyles of different communities are also different. " [ 1]? From the perspective of community psychology, Liu defines it as: "A community is a collection of individuals and groups in a certain area, and its members are interrelated and have the same understanding in life, psychology and culture." [ 1]? Refers to people who have the same culture and live in the same area. When referring to specific people, their two basic attributes of "* * * the same culture" and "* * * the same region" sometimes focus on one of them. For example, Hepingli Community and Sifang Community focus on geographical attributes, while Chinese Community, Muslim Community and Hakka Community focus on cultural attributes. However, no matter which side it refers to, the word community emphasizes the cultural cohesion and inner sense of belonging among the members of the crowd. In the late 20th century, Taiwan Province Province and Chinese mainland both raised "community building" or "community building" to the level of national policies, feeling that they had paid too much attention to macroeconomic development and neglected community needs. In terms of local organizations, the word "community" has been introduced into small geopolitical organizations. For example, the "community council" in Taiwan Province province, while the mainland intends to rename the original "residents committee" as "community residents committee". But there are still many legal problems in this move.

Community research once occupied a very important position in early American sociology. The Chicago School in the United States is famous for its research on urban communities. From the 1920s to 1930s, this school studied the urbanization process of Chicago, a big American city, to illustrate the structure and dynamics of American cities. The humanistic location theory of Chicago School is developed on the basis of analyzing community location. This school has studied urban communities from different levels, that is, not only the whole city of Chicago as the research object, but also the Jewish settlements, Polish immigrant areas, upper-class blocks and slums in Chicago as a single community research object.
