This covers a wide variety of different areas within a community or a group of networking entities.
Projects can cover almost anything, including the most obvious section of concern to any community, the welfare element.
One important subdivision of community projects, and at times overlooked, is those of an economic nature such as LETS.
It begins when a small collection of motivated individuals within a community come together with a shared concern: how can our community respond to the challenges, and opportunities, of peak oil and climate change?
However, because of phenomena like distance decay or demographic factors such as age group, gender and income that determine social identity of groups, the extent of community-based projects is usually much more limited.
