Alexander and Uwe,
Sorry to be an olde fogie, but Barry Leighton and I wrote in 1979 that
communities are best defined by interaction. See "Networks, Neighborhoods
and Communities," Urban Affairs QUarterly (or my website.)
ANd even earlier, George Hillery wrote a paper that every urban
sociologist had to memorize on the many (80?) ways that community has been
defined.
In shrot, YMMV
