Existuje virtuální komunita?

Balážová, Eva

The aim of my bachelor's work, "Does a virtual community exist? ", is to find out, using the analysis of characteristics of community in its traditional and modern form, if an internet discussion forum could be labeled "community". The paper consists of a detailed analysis of the characteristics of community on the basis of scientific literature. Then of the selection of those, which outlasted the transformation from traditional to modern communities. Finally, the conclusion of whether it is possible to accept or decline the statement, that a discussion forum is a community. This conclusion will resolute from a comparison of two "physical" and one "virtual" social group with the respect to the characteristics of the community resulting from the theoretical part of the paper. The reason for the effort to prove the community form of the discussion forum is the subsequent ability to work with it as with a community. This means, that we will be able to expect changes and development according to certain patterns, which are specific for a communities (e.g. that it will keep it's boundaries defining the group to a differentiation of "US" and "THEM", or that during it's whole duration it will grant inclusion and safety to all it's members).
