Social cohesion is a concept that refers to the degree of connectedness and solidarity within a community or society. It involves the presence of strong social bonds, trust, cooperation, and mutual support among individuals and groups. Research in this area seeks to understand the factors that promote or hinder social cohesion, as well as its impact on various aspects of society such as crime rates, health outcomes, economic development, and political stability. Studies may examine the role of social institutions, cultural norms, inequalities, and other factors in shaping social cohesion, and may also explore strategies for building and strengthening social cohesion within communities.
