Community elements overlapping

This Venn diagram sample shows how community elements overlap. It was designed on the base of the figure 1 in the course "eStrategies for Local Governments" from the website of the Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC), the Mississippi State University.
"Ultimately, the goal of this curriculum is to position a community for success as they develop web-based strategies for community and economic development. In support of this goal, the authors use a conceptual model that incorporates four fundamental elements (applications) of a community: government, business, education and community groups (Figure 1). Using the Venn diagram, it shows that each of these elements overlap with another, finally culminating in “Quality of Life” where all four overlap."
