I would highly recommend Barry Wellman's work which can be accessed through
his website
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman/publications/index.html
You might find "The Persistence and Transformation of Community: From
Neighbourhood Groups to Social Networks" Report to the Law Commission of
Canada, 2001...to be particularly useful in answering your question.
