sociologists Corinne McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson have empirically
identified as basic to community:

What is the exact source of this quotation from the writings of
activists/sociologists Corinne McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson:
?Community means different things to different people:?a safe haven
where survival is assured through mutual co-operation;?a place
of?support, with deep sharing and bonding;?a?crucible for?growth;?a
place to pioneer?dreams.? ?

Hi marah,

According to this site:
ideanet.doe.state.in.us/ipla/ pdf/SpecialEdition_1101.pdf

"Connie McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson (1994) write: Community means
different things to different people. To some it is a safe haven where
survival is assured through mutual cooperation. To others, it is
aplace of emotional support, with deep sharing and bonding with close
friends. Some see community asan intense crucible for personal growth.
For others, it is simply a place to pioneer their dreams. (p.471)"

The two books co-authored by Connie McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson are: 

Builders of the Dawn: Community Lifestyles in a Changing World 
Paperback: 372 pages
Publisher: Book Pub Co; (April 1990) 

Spiritual Politics: Changing the World from the Inside Out
Paperback: 496 pages
Publisher: Ballantine Books; (July 19, 1994) 

Although I was not able to locate any hard evidence, my guess is that
it is found in the second book.

I can only back this up with one link, but the quote seems to come
from the book "Creating Community Anywhere", written by Carolyn R.
Shaffer, Kristin Anundsen, M. Scott Peck, and Patricia Backlar.
   
"Community means different things to different people. To some, it is
a safe haven where survival is assured through mutual cooperation. To
others, it is a place of emotional support with deep sharing and
bonding with close friends. Some see community as an intense crucible
for personal growth. For others, it is primarily a place to pioneer
their dreams," writes Corrine McLaughlin in Creating Community
Anywhere."
