What are the primary principles involved in community building? 

Primary principles involved in building a community are the essentials. Things such as food, water, shelter and money are the first things that come to mind. These are the basic needs of the individuals within that community and once these are accomplished they can then move forward to other things that help build the community, things like education and groups.
