Functional Aspects of Urban Communities: "The New Neighbourhoods". Case Study: Viilor Neighbourhood, Sighişoara Municipality, Mureş County. The relationship between residents and the area that they were born and/or live in, on the one hand, as well as the determination of any form of social relationship established between individuals, on the other hand, represents the fundamental nature of a human community. “The New Neighbourhoods” have been formed both in urban and in rural areas – where dialogue covers other dimensions and connotations –; they were borrowed, in type and in form, from the Saxons, but are defined by a distinctive function. By clarifying the theoretical approach and terminology, and by describing the applied methodology, the analysis of urban community under the form of a case study, which was applied in the case of Viilor Neighbourhood – Sighişoara Municipality - evidences the possibility of considering it a territorial unit quite suitable for the implementation of various social policies.

Keywords: neighbourhood, Viilor Neighbourhood, urban community, functionality, social policies.
