When wondering what a civilization is one must look back on past civilizations and see what they all had in common. You should probably see a few things. One, all civilizations contain a large amount of people. And two, it wasn't complete anarchy. There was at least some form of government. Also it had to last a fairly long time. Not a thousand years but a large portion of time. Lastly people had to be united. Had to share a similar culture. There are a lot of variables that put together a civilization but the main ones are people, and unity. Those two things make a culture and civilization last.
With out people, there would not be civilization. There would even be a population or individual. Obviously with out people then civilization is out of the picture.
The second component a society must have is unity. It is what makes a civilization different than an anarchy. When there is unity and peace a society won't have internal conflict and will preserve itself. Also it will allow a culture to develop after a while. Overall it is population and unity is what make a civilization.
