Answer:
A geographic community is one defined over a geographic space. Some type of social interaction or common tie is usually included in this type of definition as well (Poplin, 1979).
Non-geographic communities are among our most important communities, especially in. terms of activism. These can be a group of people united by racial/ethnic identity, a set of people. and organizations bound by a political practice (e.g. the environmental justice community).
Overall most communities have a common location. The common location gives the community something in common that is not shared with others outside of the location. A community that does have a common location can be called a geographic community.
