On the other hand, After the 1989 Revolution, Romania began its transition from a centralized although the water system is covering the entire city and all water connections are metered, some deteriorated parts of the water system to a market-run economy. Today the country is a member of the European Union (EU) and NATO. After more than a decade of economic infrastructure are prompting losses in the network. restructuring and political change, the country has taken significant steps But there are significant things Ploiești has accomplished in the towards catching up with the economic performance of more developed past few years. Perhaps the most noteworthy fact is that the district EU countries. Although radical reforms brought about significant changes heating is among the top most efficient systems in the country, and as a in the recent years, the standard of living of Romanians is still behind the consequence, residents in Ploiești pay the lowest price for heat in the EU average. country. All streets in the city are lit, and old inefficient bulbs have been replaced with modern, efficient ones. The transport network is well Ploiești is one of cities where such disparities are less pronounced, because of its proximity to București (the richest area in developed, connecting the city from one side to another, and with a Romania), because of its strategic trade location (along two pan-European number of recent upgrades of the rolling stock. The generation of solid transport corridors) and, not in the least, because of the revenues waste is lower than in other cities in the region, selective collection is generated by the oil refineries surrounding the city. Benefiting from the implemented at the household and residential buildings level and is going expansion of București’s economic base, Ploiești has had a growing on well, and the landfill located outside the city is one of the most well economy in the past years, although it has suffered from demographic performing in Eastern Europe. As elsewhere in Romania, most of the municipal buildings need rehabilitation work to decrease energy decline as well as from the recent economic crisis. Currently, the city is part of the most densely populated and economically most well consumption and reduce heating bills. Nonetheless, thermal rehabilitation developed areas in the country, along the București-Ploiești-Brașov of residential buildings as well as some of the municipal buildings growth corridor. improved the overall energy efficiency. Electricity tariffs are regulated by the national government. The government is still subsidizing the energy The economic development in the transition period after the end of the communist regime has led to significant changes in the social and price for domestic users. However, the liberalization of the energy sector economic life of the residents of Ploiești. Some of these developments has already started for the industrial users and will continue in 2013 with have positively affected people’s life, whereas a few came along with non-domestic clients. Subsidies are going to be gradually eliminated by some inconveniences and difficulties. the end of 2017, when the liberalization of the market will be complete. For instance, like everywhere in Romania, the increasing number The central government is encouraging the energy production from of cars in Ploiești caused heavy traffic congestion, high fuel consumption, renewable sources, and Green Certificates are provided to such producers. and significant greenhouse emissions. This has led to difficulties and inconveniences in commuting for both public and private transport, an The local government of Ploiești has a number of ambitious area that the city government should address. The city requires more projects to develop the city, improve quality of life for its residents, and parking areas, new rolling stock for public transport with efficient fuel not the least, open the doors for more energy efficiency projects. Such plans include the rehabilitation of the tram lines, developing non- consumption, and more pedestrian friendly areas. Municipal buildings should be audited to identify the right measures to improve energy pedestrian networks, building park-and-ride facilities, purchasing non- consumption in education and health care facilities administered by the polluting and energy efficiency buses, improving the street lighting City Hall.

However, there still remains much to be done. Most diagnostic tool that is used to assess a city’s energy performance in six importantly, it is important to continue the rehabilitation and upgrade of service areas (urban transport, municipal buildings, water and the network, including the modernization of boilers and pipelines, in order wastewater, solid waste management, public lighting, and power and to diminish the heat loss and improve the overall efficiency of the system. heat) and to provide recommendations for improving energy efficiency. In However, such investments should be weighed very carefully, to ensure each of the service areas, TRACE uses a benchmarking algorithm to that both economic and social benefits can be maintained, including lower evaluate energy cost savings potential, and factoring in the level of operating costs, as well as low heating tariffs. influence of local authorities, it prioritizes what the authorities should do according to where the biggest savings can be achieved.

Workshop organization Organized under the auspices of the International Language Testing Association (ILTA), the Workshop entitled Promoting European Assessment Standards in Romania aimed to fill in the gap between intended official policies, actual policies and current practices (policy in use) in the field of foreign languages, by assisting teachers with understanding and applying relevant descriptors from the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) in order to enhance the quality of test development and examination procedures. The 3,000 US dollar grant generously awarded by the International Language Testing Association (ILTA) contributed to ensuring the good organization of the two-day workshop for a group of 33 participants coming from 4 different Romanian counties (Prahova, Dambovita, Buzau, Brasov), as well as the travel costs, accommodation, and honorarium of the invited keynote speaker and Workshop leader, dr. Jana Bérešová, Head of the English Language and Literature Department, Trnava University, Slovakia. The Workshop homepage http://iltaworkshopro2013.wordpress.com/ provides information with regard to the Workshop program, facilitators and participants, ILTA Workshop Ro Gmail community, useful resources, follow-up events, and a few photos to remind us of the two wonderful and fruitful days that we spent learning from one another. The language of the Workshop was English, but among the participants there were also a few academics interested in using European descriptors of performance when assessing students’ competences in French, German, and Romanian as a foreign language.

Zoobenthos excretion is one of the most important processes in the mineralization of sedimented organic mater. In polluted freshwaters, tubificid worms are among the dominant components of the benthic community. Rates of ammonium and inorganic phos- phate excretion by tubificids were experimentally assessed. They were related to the tubificid abundance in a stream ecosystem polluted with municipal and industrial wastewater. The relationship between these rates and temperature were investigated within the range of 4–23 °C. Relatively constant excretion rates were obtained for both nutrients in the first 8 h of excretion, ranging between 0.076 and 0.226 lg )1 )1 )1 )1 N mg d.w. h and 0.0065–0.01 lg P mg d.w. h , respectively.

The divide between urban and non-urban areas seems to be signi- ficantly divisive in this respect. While in recent years efforts to reach out to local communities have multiplied and “periphe- ral” or “inner” areas have got more attention, much remains unknown about local communities’ perceptions, understanding and implementation of EU policies at the local level. Additional- ly, it is not clear to what extent local communities far from the main centers of decision making are able to represent themsel- ves and their policy priorities to higher levels of government.

    Estimation of the Areas with Accelerated Surface Runoff in the Upper Prahova Watershed (Romanian Carpathians)

    Estimation of the Areas with Accelerated Surface Runoff in the Upper Prahova Watershed (Romanian Carpathians) Liliana Zaharia1, Gabriel Minea1, Gabriela Ioana-Toroimac1, Ruth Barbu2, Ioan Sârbu1 1University of Bucharest – Faculty of Geography, Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, Bucharest, Romania 2University of Bucharest, Faculty of Geography, “Simion Mehedinţi – Nature and Sustainable Development” Doctoral School, Bucharest, Romania E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This paper aims to identify the areas prone to rapid surface runoff and, consequently, with high potential for flood occurrence. In order to reach this goal we relied on the Flash Flood Potential Index (FFPI), which integrates those physical parameters of the watershed that control the surface flow: rock permeability, soil texture, slope gradient, curvature profile and land use. The integration of these parameters was accomplished in a GIS environment, through multiple operations that included digitization, interpolation, cropping, conversion, classification, reclassification and cartographic algebra. The size of the grid cell was set to 20 (hence, the area of a pixel/cell was 400 m2). Depending on the favorability/restrictiveness of each flow control factor, five classes, numbered from 1 to 5, were established. By adding the specific values of each class with the investigated parameters, we obtained a new grid, called FFPI. This was further reclassified into four classes: very low, low, medium and high. The study area overlaps the Upper Prahova watershed, a region with significant socio-economic importance (especially for the road and railroad transportation, as well as for tourist activities), where floods and other associated phenomena (inundations, landslides) are frequent and may lead to serious damage.

Abstract: Road development, traffic intensification, and collisions with wildlife represent a danger both for road safety and species conservation. For planners, deciding which mitigation methods to apply is often problematic. Through a kernel density estimate, we analyzed 715 crossing locations and wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVCs) involving brown bears, lynx, wolf, red deer, roe deer, and wild boar in the Southeastern Carpathian Mountains. We identified 25 WVC hotspots, of which eight require urgent mitigation of existing infrastructure. Moreover, many of these hotspots are in Natura 2000 sites, along road sections where vegetation is in close proximity, animal movement is the highest, and driver visibility is low. Our study is the first in Romania to recommend practical solutions to remediate WVC hotspots and benefit sustainable landscape management.

  • Social Economy in Prahova County

    Social Economy in Prahova County

    SOCIAL ECONOMY IN PRAHOVA COUNTY Cristina TOMESCU* Abstract: This article presents the results of a study conducted in Prahova County on the social economy, focusing on employment of the disfavoured groups such as the Roma, the people near retirement age, the young graduates and the people with disabilities. The programs developed by the local institutions aim to support the inclusion of the unemployed on the labour market through programs run by the employment agency and by providing financial support during the period of unemployment. A viable solution to solve the problems of social integration of the disfavoured groups by work might be the development of social economy forms at the local level, the local organisations playing a key role. Keywords: social economy, disfavoured group, unemployment, social inclusion, European funds. Economic and social profile of the county Characteristics of the entrepreneurial economic sector Prahova County is located in the central part of Romania; it has surface of 4.716 kmp and a population of 872.900 inhabitants and a density of 184, 9 inhabitants/kmp. It contains 100 localities: two towns, 12 cities and 86 communes; the rate of urbanization is 52, 4%. The administrative residence of the county is Ploiesti, with a population of 252.715 inhabitants, on the 9th place in Romania as number of inhabitants. It is located on the South part of the Carpathians; the main resources are: oil, natural gases, coal, salt, calcareous stone, used in industry. * She is researcher at the Institute for Research on Quality of Life, email: crisdobos@ yahoo.com Journal of Community Positive Practices 1-2/2010 62 According to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Prahova, the evolution of the county’s economy is favored by the natural resources-oil and mountain tourism potential.
