  • The Potential of the Development of Ecotourism in the Republic of Moldova Through the Prism of National Tourist Areas
    MODERN MANAGEMENT REVIEW 2019 MMR, vol. XXIV, 26 (2/2019), p. 7-14 April-June Maria HĂMURARU 1 Adriana BUZDUGAN 2 THE POTENTIAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECOTOURISM IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA THROUGH THE PRISM OF NATIONAL TOURIST AREAS The Republic of Moldova is an important area for tourism, rich in natural objectives and com- plexes allowing the development of a sustainable form of tourism – ecotourism. Therefore, it is worth noting the presence of natural ecosystems that have the potential for ecotourism de- velopment in the protected areas and other natural territories, which have good natural condi- tions for outdoor activities, such as: hiking, flora and fauna observation, sports and cultural activities. This study presents the analysis of the Republic of Moldova protected natural areas which are 8 national tourist zones with major opportunities for the ecotourism development. Keywords: tourism, ecotourism, tourist areas, tourist potential, reservations, natural areas. 1. INTRODUCTION Ecotourism is one of the areas of scientific and practical concern in most countries of the world, as it contributes to sustainable development through its activities. The modest geographic dimensions of urban areas in the Republic of Moldova cannot allow mass tour- ism to take place. Ecotourism reveals a real opportunity for the development of the country's areas that have the resources and conditions necessary for its revaluation. Ecotourism is a safe alternative for capitalizing on natural landscapes and ecological biodiversity in inter- national tourist attractiveness. The aim of the research is to identify ways of developing and promoting ecological tourism in the Republic of Moldova as a business opportunity with its substantial ad- vantages.

  • Exceptional Floods in the Prut Basin, Romania, in the Context of Heavy
    1 Exceptional floods in the Prut basin, Romania, in the context of 2 heavy rains in the summer of 2010 3 4 Gheorghe Romanescu1, Cristian Constantin Stoleriu 5 Alexandru Ioan Cuza, University of Iasi, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Department of 6 Geography, Bd. Carol I, 20 A, 700505 Iasi, Romania 7 8 Abstract. The year 2010 was characterized by devastating flooding in Central and Eastern 9 Europe, including Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. This 10 study focuses on floods that occurred during the summer of 2010 in the Prut River basin, 11 which has a high percentage of hydrotechnical infrastructure. Strong floods occurred in 12 eastern Romania on the Prut River, which borders the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, and 13 the Siret River. Atmospheric instability from 21 June-1 July 2010 caused significant amounts 14 of rain, with rates of 51.2 mm/50 min and 42.0 mm/30 min. In the middle Prut basin, there are 15 numerous ponds that help mitigate floods as well as provide water for animals, irrigation, and 16 so forth. The peak discharge of the Prut River during the summer of 2010 was 2,310 m3/s at 17 the Radauti Prut gauging station. High discharges were also recorded on downstream 18 tributaries, including the Baseu, Jijia, and Miletin. High discharges downstream occurred 19 because of water from the middle basin and the backwater from the Danube (a historic 20 discharge of 16,300 m3/s). The floods that occurred in the Prut basin in the summer of 2010 21 could not be controlled completely because the discharges far exceeded foreseen values.

    Support for the Extension of Accident Risk Spots Inventory and Preventive Measures / Final Report Annex 1 National Inventory of February 2003 Support for the Extension of Accident Risk Spots Inventory and Preventive Measures / Final Report 1 Annex 1 A 1.1 OCS in Austria 2 UNDP/GEF Danube Regional Project Result of the existing Federal Inventory of Contaminated Sites (FCSI) Austria This inventory was compiled and managed by the Federal Environment Agency of Austria served as the basis for the closer definition of contaminated sites in flooding areas. By 1 July 2002 the FCSI included 164 sites. From these total number those sites were excluded which meet one of the defined exclusion criteria from the expert meeting in 2002. As the result of this exclusion process 29 sites involving a significant high potential of contaminants were retained for the inventory of contaminated sites in flooding areas. However, it has to be taken into account that at some of these sites remediation measures have already been started and the contamination potential will hence decrease significantly in the future. Regular updating of the inventory for contaminated sites in flooding areas should therefore be introduced compulsorily.

Particular attention was also given to collect data and information for specific purposes concerning the development of the Danube Water Quality Model, the identification and evaluation of hot spots, the analysis of social and economic factors, the preparation of an investment portfolio and the development of financing mechanisms for the implementation of the ICPDR Action Plan. For the elaboration of the National Reviews, a team of national experts was recruited in each of the participating countries for a period of one to four months covering the following positions: Socio-economist with knowledge in population studies, Financial expert (preferably from the Ministry of Finance), Water Quality Data expert/information specialist, Water Engineering expert with knowledge in project development. Each of the experts had to organize his or her work under the supervision of the respective Country Programme Coordinator and with the guidance of a team of International Consultants.
