COMMUNITY (Weyers.2011)
• A community is a social system which originates when a population of
individuals localised in a specific geographic area, establishes and utilises
structures and relationships to deal with impediments and at the same
time develops a sense of communal thinking, identity and activities. The
dimensions of a community are social, spatial, functional and cultural-
symbolic dimensions. The demarcations of community are contextual,
geo-spatial and geo-functional
• The social dimension of a community
Community is a form of social entity. It consist of both individuals and the social relationships formed with each
other and their environment.
• The spatial dimension of a community
It is a neighbourhood, village, town, city, region, nation or even the planet as such a geographic entity.
The functional dimension of a community
• It covers the purpose of such a system.
• The cultural-symbolic dimension of a community
• It refers to the 'entity' with which people identify or have a shared emotional connection. These could
include: a school, university or employer, a similar service provider (e.g. the local municipality or hospital),
an ethnic or language group; a religion and its institutions; a sub-culture or gang; or even the same
problems or disabilities (e.g. blindness).8

spheres of life;
✓ makes the goal attainment process as cost-effective, streamlined and
sustainable as possible so that both human and environmental
resources are used optimally; and

empowering community members to take responsibility for their own,
as well as the whole system's development.
