澳大利亚的社区建设始于20世纪初期,发展于20世纪70年代。社区是居民出于相互帮助的需要而自发形成的特定地域的利益综合体,它的形成,体现了社区强烈的地域性和社区居民的认同感、归属感。如社区命名大多沿袭当地土著人的习惯称呼,社区的规模也完全依据人们对社区区域范围的认同感来划分。如位于澳大利亚首都堪培拉北部的笛可森(Dickson)社区,即以华人集中居住而闻名。 Community construction in Australia started in the early 20th century and developed in the 1970s. Community is a kind of interest complex formed by residents in spontaneous formation due to the need of mutual assistance. Its formation reflects the strong sense of belonging and sense of belonging of community residents. For example, community names are often followed by the indigenous names of communities, and the size of the community is also entirely based on the people’s sense of identity of the community. For example, the Dickson community, located in the north of Canberra, Australia, is known for its concentration of Chinese.
