Closed communities are particularly important in health research focused on disease outbreaks and control. Some examples of closed communities include:

A closed community is a community that interacts only with the people that live in it, which means everyone else living outside of it is excluded. The concept of defining a community is still out in the open. For this reason, the community concept has been an ecological topic yet to concur since the mid-20th century.

"Clements considered the different species in a community as being tightly integrated and interdependent, much like the organs that make up a plant or animal, leading him to use the metaphor of the community as a "complex organism" (Clements 1916). Within the field of the study on closed community, there are many related topics that influence it. There is a community theory which also deals with what occurs inside each community and how people are effected depending on the form of community they live in.
