Community Concept Map Overview
A concept map of community organizes the idea of a community into linked parts. A community is a group of people who share a place, interests or identity and interact with one another. Concept maps show how these ideas connect, from the basic definition to the types and roles within the group.
- Definition: shared place, interests or identity, and regular interaction
- Types: geographic, online, interest-based and cultural communities
- Structure: members, leaders, norms, networks and boundaries
- Roles: members, leaders, facilitators and newcomers and how they participate
- Bonds: trust, reciprocity and shared goals that hold the group together
Use the map to review for an exam, prepare an essay or plan a community project. To build a map tailored to your own course notes, try CogniGuide.
