neighborhood networks
Local social webs
Neighborhood networks are informal systems of connection among people living in the same area—the relationships, communication channels, and mutual support that develop among neighbors.
The term covers both organic social ties and more organized structures like neighborhood watch groups or community associations.
In computing contexts, it may refer to local area networks serving a geographic community.
