How are each of these connected to urban informatics?

Urban Computing
Urban computing is an emerging field of study that focuses on the use of computing technology in public environments such as cities, parks, forests and suburbs. It also studies the interaction between humans and such environments, which is becoming increasingly common as access to computing devices extends beyond home and office. This focus on the links between people and technology makes urban computing a close sister-field of study to urban informatics.

Community Informatics
Community informatics refers to an emerging field of investigation and practice concerned with information and communication technology (ICT) in relation to communities and their social, cultural, service development, economic and other dimensions.
