According to WHO,a community is "A group of people,often living in a defined geographical area,who may share a common culture,values and norms,and are arranged in a social structure according to relationships which the community has developed over a period of time.Members of a community gain their personal and social identity by sharing common beliefs,values and norms which have been developed by the community in the past and may be modified in the future." The correct answer includes aspects of people,place,and function or aims.In addition to sharing geographic boundaries and leadership,a community also has common values and interests.In addition to sharing a common bond,members within a community have to interact with one another.A group working together to confront a common problem only addresses the aspect of function; it does not address people or place.
