community building  

Definición

  • Community building has come to refer to a variety of intentional efforts to organize and strengthen social connections or to build common values and norms that promote collective goals (or both)—that is, to build more community (an interim goal) as a way of achieving some set of desired outcomes (e.g., safer neighborhoods, healthier children and families, betterpreserved cultural traditions, more profitable businesses, and so forth). While specific meanings vary widely depending on context, community building emphasizes the beneficial aspects of key processes (actions) that shape relationships, values, psychological attachment, and other aspects of community.
