“…Rather than attaching to their neighborhood communities, cross-district activities may be frequent and regular, and people may identify more with other neighborhood districts than the district in which they have geographically resided. Concluding the above discussion, rather than being influenced by their residential district's community socioeconomic status, population density, or resident stability, Hong Kong people's SOC may be determined more so by their subjective construal of their community and emotional bonding (Newbrough and Chavis 1986). …”

Sense of community (SOC) has been one of the most studied topics in community psychology. However, no empirical study to date has investigated SOC in Hong Kong and its relations with community characteristics and residents' psychological well-being. A representative sample of 941 Hong Kong Chinese based on a randomized household survey was conducted in all 18 districts in Hong Kong. Results of hierarchical linear modeling indicated that SOC was not associated with sociodemographic indicators on both the individual-level (i.e., gender, age, family income, education level, type of residence, and area-to-capita ratio of residence) and the community-level (i.e., proportion of individuals with tertiary education, median family income, ownership of residence, population density, and resident stability). SOC was negatively related to daily hassles and positively with social support and quality of life. Conceptualization of SOC in Hong Kong was discussed.

“…First defined by Sarason (1974) and redefined by McMillan and Chavis (1986) who developed a measurement instrument, it refers to the personal knowledge that one has about belonging to a community (Newbrough and Chavis 1986). Chavis, Hogge, and McMillan (1986) theorised that SOC is represented by membership, influence, integration, and fulfilment of needs and shared emotional connection.…”

Research on the social value of the bus industry in Australia revealed an inconsistency in findings between qualitative and quantitative results in relation to the nature of a bus operator's interaction with the community where they provide a transport service. As part of a larger research project that surveyed bus operators about their corporate social responsibility, bivariate analysis found that the responses to the embedded Sense of Community Index (SOCI) did not provide a predictor of the extent of a bus operator's community interaction or determinant of Corporate Responsibility (CR). However, qualitative comments in the survey suggested that bus operators did display strong positive feelings about their community. Published after the data collection stage was completed, the Sense of Community Responsibility Index (SOCRI) appeared to be a better fit than SOCI to explain the nature of bus operator's interaction with their community. Rather than drawing on community resources, the interaction was shown to be one of leaderships on the part of the operator. Further examination of this relationship using the SOCR would test this finding.

Abstract-Online games have been prevailing over the last decade and becoming a most popular leisure activity. Specifically, one of the recent and favorite types of online games is massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). MMORPGs are very prevalent in the adolescent, resulted from their characteristics, such as network connected, interactive, team-based type, and virtual challenge tasks. Antecedent studies have never thought of uses and gratification approach and the sense of virtual community at the same time when investigating the knowledge sharing in MMORPGs communities; however, the factors of uses and gratification theory will affect knowledge sharing through the sense of virtual community practically. This study is catering to this trend and attempts to build a comprehensive model for capturing the dynamic of knowledge sharing behaviors in MMORPGs communities.
