This document outlines the dimensions of community and different approaches to defining community. It discusses 6 dimensions that make up a community - technological, economic, political, institutional, aesthetic values, and beliefs/concepts. It also describes 4 approaches that scholars take in applying the term community - sociologists/geographers focus on spatially bounded groups, cultural studies/anthropologists on shared belongingness across identities, social movements see community as political mobilization, and globalization scholars see a global community developing.
