  • Abstract
    People already know the web community and its characteristics, but do not understand the web network. Another problem is that from the network communities we cannot get the links between them clearly although it is sometimes very important for us to find the relationship between network communities. Our study described the network communities and their relationship in a visual way. In the study, we visualize the Community with a maximum of four hierarchies. We used cell squares to visualize the members and strips to visualize Sub-Sub-Communities. We also visualized the links by lines. From the visualization of the network communities and their links, we will be able to get more information which is otherwise hidden behind the data and the web page. The visualization of the network Communities can helps us know the size and the development of a Community and the relationship between the Communities. The method could be used in advertisement and search engines.
