Definition

  • The loss of connected fabric that binds communities has been noted and studied by political scientists, sociologists, human ecologists, and practitioners (Potapchuk, Crocker, Schechter, & Boogaard, 1998). Yet several scholars have suggested that communities can be strengthened by building upon existing assets instead of focusing on deficits (Kretzmann & McKnight, 1990).
