Social cohesion is a group property where members are well bounded, connected with one another by personal relationships, and share a common purpose. Cohesiveness is not a trait or state but a process that can increase or decrease over time in response to many factors including group size, leadership, and external threats. Social and physical environments play an important role in fostering or undermining the ability to create social ties.1
