A community is a social group determined by geographical boundaries, living together to attain certain common goals and sharing the same values and interests. A community must be defined by its geographical boundaries within certain identifiable characteristics, made of institutions organized into a social system with the institutions and organizations linked in a complex network, common shared interests have an area with fluid boundaries and have a population aggregate concept. A community will be considered healthy if; the members are aware of their own health and biologic status has a strong and reliable governing body, the parents and guardians serve as a role model for their children and people shows concern on their health status.
The practice of COPAR (Community Organizing Participatory Action Research) can give a full fundamental nature of Community Health Nursing because COPAR is a Community Health Nursing itself. Community Health Nursing promotes and preserves the health of populations by integrating the skills and knowledge relevant to both nursing and public health.
COPAR is a process by which a community identify its needs and objectives, develops confidence to take action with respect to them and in doing so, extends and develops cooperative and collaborative attitudes and practices in the community. It is a continuous and sustained process of educating the people to understand and develop their critical awareness of their existing conditions; working with the people collectively and efficiently in their immediate and long-term problems; and mobilizing the people to develop their capability and readiness to respond and take action on their immediate needs towards solving their long-term problems.

Sociograms are a way of visualizing the relationships between people. In this case, we have created a sociogram for our group by asking everyone to provide three names from our group that they admire or look up to. Then, we put all those responses into software that calculated and showed who was closest to others regarding friendship or other types of connection. Each circle represents a person in the group, and their relationship with each other is represented by the lines connecting them. The length of these lines shows how close they are in terms of friendship or other types of connection. Lastly, by using the sociogram, we divided our group members into three groups with three members to create our technical working groups.
In each group, the most admired person will be the key member, followed up by the Opinion Leaders, whom key members approach.
