■ The historical development of concepts of community and community organization are examined in light of their treatment in literature. For concept of community, five approaches are seen and discussed: (I) regulatory, (2) integrative and structural-functional, (3) ecological, (4) monographical, and (5) political stratificational. The working definition of community offered is the aggregate of all institutional means available to some given groups in interaction toward accomplishment of an aggregate of all institutional ends. For concept of community organization, where theorists and activists are attempting to conceptualize this multiformed area, it is shown that its present state is rapidly changing. ■
