productive life.
Community is defined as a sociological group in a large place sharing
one environment. It therefore includes the individual and the family.
Community also refers to a group of living things ( humans, animals, and
plants ) sharing and living together in an environment.
Environment is the immediate surroundings of the living things. This

well-being of the humans living therein. It will provide an understanding of

environment contributes to the achievement of quality life among its
residents.
