Community Theory

Community Theory explains how groups of people interact, organize, and share resources, identity, and support, shaping their behaviors and relationships. It emphasizes that a community isn't just a location, but a social system where members influence each other, establish norms, and create a sense of belonging. Factors like shared values, goals, and social networks help develop community strength and resilience. This theory helps us understand how communities grow, adapt, and impact individual well-being and social cohesion.
