CCS Village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet, but smaller than a town or city. Though generally located in rural areas, the term urban village may be applied to certain urban dwellings. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, as against being scattered broadly over the landscape .

Villages have been the usual form of community for societies. The Industrial Revolution caused many villages to grow into towns and cities. This trend of urbanization has continued. Villages have thus been eclipsed in importance as units of human society and settlement.

CCS stands for the Care, Commitment and Service required to build a virtual village, both cyber and with permanent fixed dwellings.

Community building and organizing

M. Scott Peck is of the view that the almost accidental sense of community that exists at times of crisis can be consciously built. Peck believes that the process of "conscious community building" is a process of building a shared story, and consensual decision making, built upon respect for all individuals and inclusive of differences. He is of the belief that this process goes through four stages:

Pseudo-community: Where participants are "nice with each other", playing-safe, and presenting what they feel is the most favourable sides of their personalities.

Chaos: When people move beyond the inauthenticity of pseudo-community and feel safe enough to present their "shadow" selves. This stage places considerable demands upon the facilitator for greater leadership and organization, but Peck believes that "organizations are not communities", and this pressure should be resisted.

Emptiness: This stage moves beyond the attempts to fix, heal and convert the chaos stage, when all people become capable of acknowledging their own woundedness and brokenness, common to us all as human beings. Out of this emptiness comes

True community: The process of deep respect and true listening for the needs of the other people in this community. This stage Peck believes can only be described as "glory" and reflects a deep yearning in every human soul for compassionate understanding from one's neighbour..
