This research delves into the multifaceted concept of community, examining its definition, types, and evolution over time. Drawing from thinkers like Tönnies, Durkheim, and Castell, we explore the distinctions between traditional and modern communities, the factors that have influenced their transformation, and the sense of belonging within a chosen community. Key themes include inclusion versus exclusion, the impact of information and communication technology (ICT), and the ramifications of economic, social, political, and environmental changes on community dynamics.
