Neighbourhood
A
neighbourhood (
Commonwealth English), or
neighborhood (
American English), is a geographically localised
community within a larger
city,
town,
suburb or
rural area. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. "Researchers have not agreed on an exact definition. Neighbourhood is generally defined spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a set of social networks. Neighbourhood, then, are the
spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions occur—the personal settings and situations where residents seek to realise common values, socialise youth, and maintain effective social control." The
