komunitné

Komunitní is an adjective used in Czech (and in Slovak with a closely related form, komunitný) meaning relating to a community or oriented toward a community. It is derived from the noun komunita, which denotes a group of people sharing a place, interests, or identity. The term reflects a focus on local, collective, or communal aspects of society and is commonly found in social science, public policy, and civic contexts.

Etymology and usage notes: Komunitní comes from komunita, which in turn has roots in Latin communitas and was borrowed into Czech and other languages. The adjective is used to describe things connected to a community or designed to benefit a community, rather than centralized or national-scale matters.

Common uses and examples: Komunitní centrum (community center), komunitní život (community life), komunitní program (community program), komunitní plánování (community planning), and komunitní zdravotní péče (community health care). In urban planning, social policy, and nonprofit work, the term signals a focus on local engagement, participatory processes, and services delivered at the neighborhood level. It can also appear in phrases like komunitní financování (community funding) or komunitní bydlení (community housing).

See also: komunita. Distinct from related but different terms such as komunismus (communism); komunitní denotes collaborative, localized focuses rather than political ideologies.
