Closed community
A closed community intentionally limits links with other communities. In contrast, an open community maintains social relations with other communities.[1]
Closed communities are particularly important in health research focused on disease outbreaks and control. Some examples of closed communities include:
- Refugee camps[2]
- Country houses[3]
- Small religious settlements[4]
- Plantations[5]
- Closed cities
