How does a polar bear survive in polar regions?

They have a extra layer of blubber to keep warm and they have improved eyesight and hearing. They have big paws to keep balance and their weight over thin ice.

No. Polar Bears are carnivores. Their diet consists of ringed seals, bearded seals, birds, bird eggs, and the occasional beached whale.
We feed our polar bears at the zoo a mixed diet so they get a good supply of vitamins. They get horse meat, fish and a variety of vegetables and fruit. In the wild, where polar bears live, there are not many plants for them to eat so they get their vegetables from what was in the stomach of the animal they ate. That makes them generally carnivorous but they tend to be omnivorous when they have the opportunity.
The Grizzly is protected by the US Fish and Wildlife Services Endangered Species Act. They are listed with a status of "threatened". Also the International Union for Conservation of Nature, or the IUCN Red List, has the Grizzly listed with a status of "least concern" and a population trend considered "stable". There are many conservation groups at work trying to protect and maintain Grizzly Bear habitats, to help avoid population fragmentation, and protect prey animals, as well as the vegetation needed to supply bears with the extra calories they require to survive hibernation. The Park systems try to protect bears, and people both, from unexpected dangerous encounters, even considering that the bear rarely views the human as actual prey. Over time, many bears in park settings have learned that humans may provide a source of food, or when humans are present, so too may be food. This makes many bears eager for contact with people, and despite repeated warnings, many people still carry food items into bear common parks, without taking proper precautions. Some bears that become overly aggressive are trapped by the Forest Service officers, and then moved deeper into the back country, then left where the bear is far from human exposure. Many bears have learned to raid local homes, trash cans, dumps, and vehicles, for any food they can find. Townships near bear populations, and their local agencies have learned to work with bad mannered bears. Finally CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, has the Grizzly listed also, which protects the Grizzly in regards to the trade or sale of Grizzly Bear products, and the bears themselves.

What goes on in the polar bears community?
I believe they do have a community.
They live in groups.
Polar bears are solitary animals and do not live in groups.
They do have a community, however, that interacts and will "aggregate" for short periods for specific reasons and, of course, during the breeding cycles. For an in-depth discussion and definitions of different animal aggregates, see also the related links for one specific study, among many, on the general topic.
An additional link below in the related links section is to the SeaWorld.org information about the polar bear, which contains facts about their behavior that are consistent with other scientific sources. This information comes from long term research and observation about their behavior and habits. In it, and the other scientific sources available, are explanations that they, "...are basically solitary. Usually, only two social units exist," for short term interactions:
In April and May, polar bears aggregate for breeding, usually on the sea ice near the best seal hunting areas. It is also at this time when aggression between males has been observed (when one attempts to steal food caught by another, or when fighting over a breeding female), otherwise, they are not characterized as "territorial".
Besides the routine short term gatherings mentioned above, groupings can also be observed for large scale opportunistic feedings while they exist, such as at dump sites or around a large whale carcass. This is usually in the Hudson Bay area and other southern regions, where polar bears may aggregate on land during the ice-free summer and autumn seasons.
