Definition
共同体 (gòng tóng tǐ) refers to a community formed by shared interests, goals, or characteristics — it is more formal and abstract than 社区 (shè qū), which is a physical neighborhood, and emphasizes the common bond more than 集体 (jí tǐ, a collective group) or 群体 (qún tǐ, a group sharing traits).
