The Natural Reservations Within Suceava Area and Their Importance * Recent Researches in Tourism and Economic Development The Natural Reservations within Suceava Area and their Importance * CONSTANTIN COCERHAN Doctoral school “Simion Mehedinti”, Faculty of Geography University of Bucuresti ROMANIA [email protected] Abstract: - The tourism potential of Suceava and its surroundings is revealed by the historical heritage of world culture through traditional cultural values with absolute originality, landscapes with soothing relief and a vegetation cover that calls for nature walks and relaxation. Over the time, man lived in communion with nature and admired its beauty, but in certain situations he exploited it recklessly leading to the extinction of rare plants and animal species of scientific value. As a result, it was necessary to preserve biogeographical elements, the limitation or restriction of operations and tourist traffic, so they were declared by law a number of natural monuments and nature reserves have been established. Key-Words: - monuments of nature, pastures, reservations , endemic plants glacial relics, polyvalent travel. 1 Introduction Observations and surveys with a view to know 2.

The present study - based on expert recorded descriptions of flora species, especially documentation on field observations and research, angiosperms, from Ponoare and Frumoasa, by Aurel the interpretation and comparative analysis of ProcopianuProcopovici (1892). In the early information - we want to point out the opportunities twentieth century Professor Michael Guuleac the area has to further develop tourism as a main distinguishes himself by researching the Ponoare gainful. and Frumoasa elements of flora and suggests the establishment of reservations in those places.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Inland epigean freshwater amphipods of Romania are diverse and abundant for this region has a favourable geographical position between the Balkans and the Black Sea. Excluding Ponto-Caspian species originating in brackish waters and freshwater subterranean taxa, there are 11 formally recognized epigean freshwater species recorded from this country. They belong to 3 genera, each representing a different family: Gammarus (Gammaridae, 8 species or species complexes), Niphargus (Niphargidae, 2 epigean species) and Synurella (Crangonyctidae, one species). Their large-scale distribution patterns nevertheless remain obscure due to insufficient data, consequently limiting biogeographical interpretations. We provide extensive new data with high resolution distribution maps, thus improving the knowledge of the ranges of these taxa.

There was a large and thriving Jewish population in Bucovina. Jews were heavily represented in the crafts, the learned professions and in government. Jews lived in many towns in Bukovina, ranging from a metropolis such as Czernowitz, to many tiny shtetls1. Already oppressed by the January 1938 decree reconsidering their citizenship, Bucovina’s Jews became the direct target of persecution. Between June 28, 1940 and July 5, 1941, Northern Bukovina, including Czernowitz, was under Soviet rule, as a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The deportation of the 3,500 people to Siberia was effected by the Soviets prior to the advancing Romanian/German occupation of Northern Bukovina.

  • A Comprehensive List of the Ants of Romania (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) 1
    Myrmecologische Nachrichten 9 65 - 76 Wien, Dezember 2006 A comprehensive list of the ants of Romania (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) 1 Bálint MARKÓ, Botond SIPOS, Sándor CSŐSZ, Klára KISS, István BOROS & László GALLÉ Abstract In the last decades the ant checklists of most Central and Eastern European countries were updated, with the exception of Romania. The last Romanian checklist was published in 1978 and contained only 76 species. The present work lists all species mentioned in publications until 2006. Up to now, altogether 103 valid species were recorded in the Romanian fauna (102 outdoor species), besides these there are eleven species of uncertain occurrence in Romania and two names which cannot be assigned to existing valid species. The comparison of Romanian and other Central and Eastern Euro- pean myrmecofaunas reveals that the Romanian fauna is insufficiently known and that a considerable number of spe- cies (mostly parasitic and Mediterranean) remains to be detected.

  • The Symbolic Significance of the String-Course in Orthodox Sacred Architecture
    European Journal of Science and Theology, June 2007, Vol.3, No.2, 61-70 _______________________________________________________________________ THE SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STRING-COURSE IN ORTHODOX SACRED ARCHITECTURE Mihaela Palade* University Bucharest, Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Department of Sacred Art, Str. Sf. Ecaterina nr. 2,040155 Bucharest IV, Romania (Received 7 May 2007) Abstract A brief analysis of the decorative system peculiar to Romanian sacred architecture leads to singling out an element that distinctly stands out, being present in the overwhelming majority of the respective worship places. It is the string-course, a protruding ornament that circumscribes the median part of the façade and is made of various materials: stone, brick, plaster. At first sight it appears to be an agreeable, ingenious aesthetic solution, since the horizontal line it emphasizes enters into a pleasant dialogue with the vertical arches, windows, pillars and other upright elements. The present essay points out that this element is not a mere aesthetic device, but has a deep symbolic significance related to that of the church it girdles. Keywords: girding one’s waist with the belt, the Church – Christ’s mystical body, string- course, girding one with strength Motto: Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girded me with gladness. (Psalm 29/30.10, 11) 1. The presence of the string-course in the Orthodox sacred architecture; types and variations exemplified within the Romanian area In the Byzantine architecture, one or several horizontal profiles mark the outside decoration, surrounding the façade either from end to end or only partially.

The species is River Basin distinguishes by its origin from the most interesting particularly in terms of phylogenetics, and imposing mountain range Făgăraş, and its common features with European genres as well as picturesque landscapes, followed by a wide variety of other North -American genres from Percidae family. landforms, from the high peaks of the mountains to The discovery of the sculpin perch triggered a the Romanian Plain where it joins the Danube. series of investigations to clarify the interrelationship Arges River, with its tributaries, is one of the between family genres. It is said to be the phylogeny major river systems of the country in terms of key to Percidae family (Bănărescu, Vasiliu – hydropower potential and water supply for villages Oromulu, 2004). and towns, industrial systems and agricultural land. It is now considered the most endangered The special interest in Vâsan River, a tributary species of fish fauna in Europe due to its limited of Arges river (fig. 1), is due to the presence of habitat (over a length of about 5 km on Vâlsan River) Romanichthys valsanicola species (sculpin perch), and the very small number of samples. fish fauna endemic of Romania and the Danube In the past, Vâlsan River used to provide some basin, which appears on the Red List of I.U.C.N- peculiarities of the biotope that allowed the presence, resolution D-46 of EC, the category "Critically development, evolution and, not least, the survival of Endangered."
