Your concept of 'mean distance' needs to be qualified.
I would suggest using the centroid of the convex hull of the separate communities.
That will be as good a representation as any other more complex solution which may in the end produce the same or very similar results.
it's not my concept ,I took a screen shot for this requirement ,,i updated the question ,could you review it again,sir?
Great lab question... since you have a DEM, this makes me think that Euclidean Distance would be too simple, but maybe Cost Distance or even Path Distance might be a choice... Food for thought... might use it in one of my classes
But again... do we deal with just closest point on the edge or the locations within the village... perhaps a question for the poser of the question since the concept of centrality still hasn't been addressed.
Sir: Do you mean that is a false question?
