Italian term or phrase: comunità di prossimità tradizionale
L’inclusione digitale e la qualità dell’uso di internet sono inoltre profondamente legati al concetto di società aperta e multiculturale, che nel caso della rete ma anche ormai nella realtà quotidiana comporta l’affievolimento delle barriere fisiche (particolarmente percepite dagli anziani) e con esse anche le sicurezze e le protezioni della comunità di prossimità tradizionale.

traditional physical communities


Explanation:
This is a translation into the type of language an English anthropologist, sociologist or human geographer would use, rather than into ordinary English any of us might understand.

communities with / based on the traditional cohesion


Explanation:
or, more woodenly but faster, "the traditional-cohesion communities".

The key here is "cohesion", which we, social anthropologists, use as a standard term in this sort of cases.
