community boundaries
Where towns end
Community boundaries are the limits that define where a community begins and ends—whether geographic, social, or conceptual.
Physical boundaries might be neighborhood borders or city limits.
Social boundaries determine who belongs and who doesn't: The community boundaries were clear—outsiders weren't welcome at the meetings.
In online spaces, community boundaries often refer to rules governing acceptable behavior and membership.
