Group survival

It seems to me that it is easier to prepare to look after yourself, but we also know that we need to survive in groups if we are to make the survival sustainable.

How can one adapt to an influx of several hundred survivors of (insert calamity here) against a backdrop of global economic meltdown (ie: no help coming).

I see one of the first challenges as shelter.

So to the thrust of my question -

Does anyone know anything about building shelters on a larger scale? Optimal placement, Sanitary considerations, extensions out to farming.

I have a mental vision of a kind of village hall surrounded by huts, but it isnt clear how they come about.
