Those of us who grew up on farms or in small towns in remote places have an intuitive sense that there is. Trying to define it academically is another matter. I have been helped by the typology developed by Ferdinand Toennies, a German sociologist from the turn of the century. Gemeinschaft was formed around the extended family, linked in a network of social relations with other such families who shared multiple experiences in a particular location over time. In a cohesive community, people live in an interconnected web of multiple relationships pursued in multiple settings over time.
People encounter one another as individuals who occupy roles or who pursue particular interests.
Persons in Gesellschaft live separate lives, not encountering anyone else in more than one or two social arenas, and without any necessary reference to family. Neighbors share very little, and may not see each other anywhere else than in their car, going by on the street. Cohesive community has existed in urban neighborhoods, particularly if sharing an ethnic culture or racial heritage. Communities in rural locations can be very fragmented. Indeed, the social history of the US can be described as an increasing fragmentation of all communities.
