The findings revealed that the environment is not good enough for human habitation due to lack of abasic amenities in the area. The study concluded that while housing facilities in the core area of Ile-Ife, like many others in Nigeria were in deplorable state, there is urgent need to attend to the concerned area for better living of the inhabitants of the area. Key words: physical, core, environment and housing * * * * * * INTRODUCTION The most visible and obvious consequences of urbanization in developing countries, such as Nigeria, is often rapid deterioration of urban housing and living conditions (Lewin, 1981). UN- HABITAT (2008), stated that only two African cities exceeded one million inhabitants in 1950. The number of such large cities reached nine in 1975 accommodating a combined population of about 19 million people. From 1975 to 2005 African cities exceeding one million rapidly increased to 43 with a combined population of 110 plus million people. By 2015, there will be 59, home to more than 169 million individuals. However, housing and the residential environment provide an extremely rich and fruitful area for the study of interplay of socio-cultural factors and environmental form (Onibokun, 1985). In a sense, housing is more than shelter; it has socio-cultural and psychological dimensions which must be clearly understood and taken into consideration in housing design, planning and execution. Nigeria is one of the few countries in Africa which had many large pre-industrial cities before the colonial period. The largest concentrations of such towns in the south-western zone, which is by far the most urbanized area of its size in sub-Saharan Africa (Onibokun, 1990). One of the major factors which explain the development of pre-colonial urbanization in this area was the continuous internecine war among the Yoruba. This forced peasants to find refuge in walled cities, leading to high population concentration in such cities characterized with organic development. On the other hand, the deplorable conditions of Nigerian core area environments have become a serious worry in recent times. Environment

  • Niță, D. Promoting Urban Tourism Through City Branding
    Annals of the University of Petroşani, Economics, 18(2), 2018, 77-90 77 PROMOTING URBAN TOURISM THROUGH CITY BRANDING DORINA NIȚĂ ABSTRACT: Nowadays we are witnessing some sort of paradox with regards to the tourism practiced at the level of the big cities of the world. Regardless of the purpose of the journey: visiting historic landmarks, for pleasure and relaxation, on business, etc., tourists have become very irritating for the people residing in these cities and thus enforcing measures that would limit the number of tourists. At the opposite end, there are other urban destinations which, aware of the importance of a town’s reputation in attracting tourists and of the advantages, especially economic ones, generated by tourism, seek to build and capitalize on the most representative town brand. In this paper we shall analyse the way a Romanian town within Hunedoara County has built its branding strategy around a historic landmark which is Deva fortress. KEY WORDS: urban tourism, city branding, touristic potential, promotion strategy. JEL CLASSIFICATION: L83, O20, R58, Z32. 1. INTRODUCTION In present days, commercial, financial and touristic activities are considered to benefit from an often “aggressive” marketing as banks, companies, cities and countries “are fighting” really hard to win over “clients”. When speaking of a country or city branding, one will associate a logo that defines it. In a study called Country Brand Index 2014-15 [11] only 22 out of 75 countries “qualified” as country brands which, according to the authors, gives them an important competitive advantage over other countries. Thus, Japan, number one in the ranking is generally identified with technology and innovation; Switzerland – ranked 2nd, is renowned for its high living standard, natural beauties and financial services; Germany, which came out 3rd, is associated with advanced technology and automotive Assoc.

  • Historical Residential Architecture Under Totalitarian Regimes and After
    THE HISTORICAL RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE UNDER TOTALITARIAN REGIMES AND AFTER. THE ROMANIAN CASE ILEANA BURNICHIOIU Almost any new approach to the residential architecture in the historical provinces of Romania has to deal with the effects of the decisions taken by the authoritarian or totalitarian political regimes installed after 1938. Of all, the ones from the 50s had the most dramatic impact on the built heritage which was in the property of the political, cultural and financial elites of the era – palaces, castles, courts (curiae), fortresses, manors or houses,1 – with consequences that are still visible today. All residences that were still standing, regardless of their age, historical and artistic value, status among historical monuments, province or owner, shared a similar fate.2 On March 6th, 1945, the government headed by Petru Groza was installed and thus began, under Communist leader Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, the process of Stalinisation in Romania, with reforms in all vital domains, with dissolutions and establishments of institutions and various forms of repression (arrest, detention, etc.) towards both real and virtual opponents. In the name of the “class fight”, of the imperious need to liquidate the “exploiting classes” (according to the official propaganda), major social and economic measures were taken, declared as favouring the peasantry and the work class. One of these measures was the agrarian reform adopted in March 23rd, 1945, by which estates were limited to 50 ha and, consequently, 900,000 peasants became land owners (fig. 1). Next, the forced abdication of King Michael I of Romania was followed, on May 27th, 1948, by the confiscation of all goods belonging to the Royal House.

  • Cultural Tourism in Central Region of Romania
    CULTURAL TOURISM IN CENTRAL REGION OF ROMANIA Cristina BOBOC Ana-Maria CIUHU Valentina VASILE Simona GHITA Abstract Romania has a multitude of natural and cultural attractions, with five of the European biogeographical regions and seven sites included in the UNESCO heritage, but it does not sufficiently exploit its touristic potential. This paper provides a statistical analysis of tourism in the Central Region of Romania with a focus on rural tourism and an analysis of the cultural potential. The aim is to identify new opportunities of the development of cultural tourism in the region. In order to highlight the rural tourism, there were selected only agrotouristic boarding houses in communes and villages. Having an extremely generous nature and a cultural heritage of great value, the areas analyzed in this study have a high and diversified touristic potential. Keywords: cultural tourism, rural tourism, Romania, statistical analysi, local development The need for a more detailed analysis of Romania's tourism potential comes from the 1. Introduction contradiction between the highly valuable cultural According to the UNWTO, “Cultural tourism is a patrimony on the one hand and the modest economic type of tourism activity in which the visitor’s essential performance of Romania's tourist activity on the other. motivation is to learn, discover, experience and Cultural traditions are often much better preserved in consume the tangible and intangible cultural rural areas (Аleksieva, Stamov, 2005).
