The community has identified strategies for reaching the goals that were collectively set. This best describes the concept of community:
1. Organization.
2. Development.
3. Building.
4. Goal setting.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Community organization is the process by which community groups are helped to identify common problems or goals, mobilize resources, and develop and implement strategies for reaching the goals they have collectively set. Community development is often the term used to refer to the rejuvenation of communities through housing and business development. Community building is defined as continuous, self-renewing efforts by residents and professionals to engage in collective action aimed at problem-solving and enrichment, which creates new or strengthened social networks, new capacities for group action and support, and new standards and expectations for the life of the community. Community goal setting is not a community concept.
