Sustainability is mainly defined as “people continuing to want to live in the same community, both now and in the future” (Long and Hutchins, 2003). And it is achievable in situations where people continue to choose to live, work and carry on activities in the same common locality and community with fully occupied housing.
Community is commonly cited as to “the place where people maintain their homes, earn their livings, rear their children and carry on most of their life activities” (Poplin, 1979). It further supported by Long and Hutchins (2003) that view community as “a grouping of up to several thousand households, whose occupants share common experiences and bonds derived from living in the same locality”.
In summary, the community is described as persons or people living within the same geographical area, carrying on their social interactions and activities with one or more common ties and shared values.
Sustainable communities meet the diverse needs of existing and future residents, their children and other users, contribute to the high quality of life and provide opportunity and choice. They achieve this in ways that make effective use of natural resources, enhance the environment, promote social cohesion and inclusion and strengthen economic prosperity.
