Towards a Definition of Virtual Community

Abstract: Resumen:En la Internet, comunidades de personas se juntan, comparten intereses comunes, ideas y sentimientos por toda la red. En este artículo, nos centramos en el concepto de las llamadas comunidades virtuales (VCs) desde una perspectiva teórica y empírica. Queremos ofrecer una denición desde la investigación secundaria que puede ser útil a nivel teórico y empírico. Además, la comparamos con la denición que surge de las entrevistas, que es típica de la perspectiva del enfoque cualitativo. Las preguntas inve… Show more

“…Porter's typology was used for the case selection of virtual communities studied in this chapter. Porter's categorization is exhaustive and applicable on an empirical level, although some adjustments are needed (see Agostini & Mechant, 2019). On a theoretical level, our focus was aimed at a "social," a "professional," a "non-profit," and a "commercial" VC (the "government" VC was not chosen because they were not widespread at that time).…”

“…Konsep komunitas berangkat dari pemikiran Sosiolog Jerman Ferdinand Tönnies (1855-1936) pada tahun 1887 tentang Gemeinschaft dan Gesellschaft, (Agostini & Mechant, 2019;Brint, 2001).
