Integration may refer to:
A community is a social unit of any size that shares common values, or that is situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a village or town). It is a group of people who are connected by durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties, and who mutually define that relationship as important to their social identity and practice. Although communities are usually small, community may also refer to large groups, such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities.
The word "community" is derived from the Old French comuneté which comes from the Latin communitas (from Latin communis, things held in common).
In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, and risks, may be shared in common, affecting the identity of the participants, and their degree of cohesiveness.
Community studies is an academic field drawing on both sociology and anthropology and the social research methods of ethnography and participant observation in the study of community. In academic settings around the world, community studies is variously a sub-discipline of anthropology or sociology, or an independent discipline. It is often interdisciplinary and geared toward practical applications rather than purely theoretical perspectives. Community studies is sometimes combined with other fields, i.e., "Urban and Community Studies," "Health and Community Studies," or "Family and Community studies."
The United Nations defines community development as "a process where community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems." It is a broad term given to the practices of civic leaders, activists, involved citizens and professionals to improve various aspects of communities, typically aiming to build stronger and more resilient local communities.
Community development seeks to empower individuals and groups of people with the skills they need to effect change within their communities. These skills are often created through the formation of large social groups working for a common agenda. Community developers must understand both how to work with individuals and how to affect communities' positions within the context of larger social institutions.
Community development as a term has taken off widely in anglophone countries i.e. the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand and other countries in the Commonwealth of Nations. It is also used in some countries in Eastern Europe with active community development associations in Hungary and Romania. The Community Development Journal, published by Oxford University Press, since 1966 has aimed to be the major forum for research and dissemination of international community development theory and practice.
South India is the area encompassing India's states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana as well as the union territories of Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep and Puducherry, occupying 19.31% of India's area (635,780 km2 or 245,480 sq mi). South India includes the southern part of the peninsular Deccan Plateau and is bounded by the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Arabian Sea in the west and the Indian Ocean in the south. The geography of the region is diverse with two mountain ranges the Western and Eastern Ghats bordering the plateau heartland. Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri, Tungabhadra and Vaigai rivers are important non-perennial sources of water. Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Coimbatore and Kochi are the largest urban areas in the region.
Majority of the people in South India speak one of the four major Dravidian languages: Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. During its history, a number of dynastic kingdoms ruled over parts of South India whose invasions across southern and southeastern Asia impacted the history and culture in those regions. Major dynasties that were established in South India include the Cheras, Cholas, Pandyas, Pallavas, Satavahanas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas and Vijayanagara. European countries entered India through Kerala and the region was colonized by Britain and other nations.

The Adivasi live in the forests of Nilgiri Hills surrounding Gudalur in South India, and are descendants of the original inhabitants of India. They live in more than 400 distinct tribes, each with its own unique language and rich local culture. But because many of them do not possess official identity papers, they struggle to access human rights that other Indians are entitled to under the law. This includes the right to education, to own property, to vote, access health care, and be a citizen. Without these rights they are trapped in a cycle of poverty, and girls and women often bear the brunt. Girls are expected to forgo education and raise their siblings, and women often miss out on meaningful employment to care for their children. We are working in partnership with the Churc...

The Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES) has been in operation since 2004 issuing approx 5,000 pieces of equipment and minor adaptations per year. This year it has provided over 20,000 health and social care pieces of equipment from a single source using the same level of staff and budget Without ICES, the independence of many people would be undermined, carers would be put at risk and many essential services providing help with personal care could not be delivered safely. More patients would be admitted and fewer patients discharged in a timely manner. The provision of community equipment is essential for promoting the independence of people with disabilities of all ages. It will often result in an individual being able to cope independently without the need for other services. I...

Churches of Christ in Queensland's integrated community model is not a group of buildings co-existing on one location but a philosophy of holistic client care and service. Campuses are uniquely planned, based on individual and local community needs. We are unlocking the secrets to client focused care by providing so much more than a co-location of mixed, single purpose accommodation and services. In our integrated community all client services are seamlessly connected which means all residents within the campus will be able to access any service available on the one site. Our aim is to create a place where any resident in need can access any service available on the campus regardless of a funding source; an environment where residents, clients and staff feel safe, respected and valued; an...
