communal ties
Neighborhood social links
Communal ties are the bonds and connections that link people within a shared community, whether based on geography, religion, ethnicity, or common interest.
These ties create networks of mutual obligation, support, and identity that hold groups together across generations.
Strong communal ties might mean neighbors look after each other's children or that members of a diaspora maintain traditions far from their homeland.
The village's communal ties meant no family faced hardship alone.
