The determination of tourism potential by quantitative methods preoccupied many specialists, the results being helpful actions systematization tourism planning, appropriate arrangements and potential value respectively. In a general sense, the tourist potential of a territory is defined as all natural elements economic and cultural- historical, representing some possibilities for tourism, giving a specific functionality for tourism and is a premise for tourism development. One area interests in terms of tourism potential, to the extent that it provides natural or anthropic tourism resources, whose recovery, using complex arrangement can cause a tourism activity and inclusion that territory in the internal and international tourist circuit. Modern activity, with high perspectives and expectations, tourism is the most well-shaped footprint in Neamt Depression, in the tourist image of Moldova, from the country or, why not, even abroad, regardless of the period to which we refer as a result of the multitude of tourist attraction that are found in this area. This brand of tourism in the study area is given the multitude of natural sights (bison and Fauna Reserve Carpathian "Dragos Voda" good quality ground water that have therapeutic properties) but mostly because of anthropogenic tourist attractions: monasteries (monastery Neamt, Secu, Agapia, etc.), museums and memorial houses (Folk Art Museum Nicolae PopaTârpesti, Ion Creanga Memorial House, Michael Sadoveanu, Alexander Vlahuţa). This framework for developing a quality tourism has led to development of the area in terms of tourism and these objectives are capitalizing in an appropriate manner, and tourism is a very important activity for Neamt Depression economy in this sectoral ready operating many people in accommodation units (hotels, rural locations) restaurants. Keywords: Neamt Depression, tourist attractions, tourism recovery, cultural tourism, Neamt Country. 1. INTRODUCTION The term „tourism”, English original (the French Connection) with basic meaning outing extended faction for a wide range of economic activities in order detente and the need to escape from daily urban conditions continued growth in living standards. In opinion of Valsan (1936) “action to travel in time and space are irrelevant material, but only in physical or intellectual purpose – meaning to acquire good cheer, health and culture – it is called tourism” (Ielenicz&Comanescu, 2009). Hunziker and Krapf (1942) first defined tourism as a sum of relationships and phenomena resulting from the movement and stay of people out of their homes as long as the movement and stay there they are motivated by a permanent establishment and some gainful activity (Comanescu, 2009). 51 According to UNWTO (1991) tourism represents the activities carried out by a person who travels outside his usual environment for an unspecified period whose main purpose is other than the journey give perform a paid activity within the place visited. Tourism is known as one of the largest industries. Their revenue has significant importance in the economies of many countries and is one of the most manufacturing jobs. The landscape is defined as a part of nature that forms a complex artistic and caught a glance. The landscape defined etymologically consists of myriad traits, characteristics, forms a territory of a region or a country. Landscape is an image of a whole composed of dynamic elements, each with their own expression and its general context. It is a very common term used to designate a portion of the land area characterized by specific geographical features, natural or human. The landscape is “visual projection of psychological relationship that man has with where one lives” (Lucian Drăgut https://lacrima0908.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/peisajul.docx ). From the point of view of the French geographer R Brunet landscape is “appearance and representation: an arrangement of objects visible, charged topic through its own filters.” 2. METHODOLOGY The complexity of the investigations necessary knowledge of the geographical area in a given region requires the use of differentiated depending on the situation and the research phase of a large number of methods. Among the methods of thing I used are: observation, analysis, deductive and inductive method, synthesis, statistical and mathematical methods, graphic methods and maps. Documentation of the means that were used in making the research is: - Bibliographic sources of literature from Romania and abroad; - Questionnaires applied the accommodation establishments of tourists, local and county authorities, local travel agencies in the area and the country; - Cartographic documents. - Site ANTREC INS. In compiling this article we used modern means of processing and graphic and cartographic materials to illustrate how suggestive information: Philcarto, SPSS, Corel Draw X6, Adobe Illustrator, Excel. 3. CONTENT 3.1. Geographic and morphometric characteristics Ozana Topolita Depression is part of Moldavian Subcarpathians, representing the northernmost section of this physical-geographical whole. Physical and geographical demarcation of depression can be made quite clear in the west, north and south, while in the east, where contact with the Moldavian Plateau is achieved gradually and thus less trenchant. The northern and north-eastern limit is given by Pleşului Hill with a maximum altitude of 911 m in Ceardac Hill, north of Neamt Monastery, which descends towards south east to 531m. On the eastern border is the Stânişoara Mountains, old evident both geologically and morphologically. Limit southern and south - eastern saddle is given Bălţăteşti (538 m) and several heights Horns Hill (Ghindăul – 576 m, Dumbrăvioara – 551 m, Coarnele Berbecului – 469 m and Luparia – 452 m). In terms of establishing the eastern boundary with Moldova Plateau, this contact is more discreet because formations Sarmatian covers transgressive deposits salty Miocene Carpathian missing alignment of heights grafted anticline assets, which shut off the net Depression Neamt, communicating so broad with Siret corridors through the two "gates" open rivers and Topolita Neamt (Dimitriu, 2007). 52 Altitudes reach 450-500 m in the central part, pointing out that there is a general inclination on V-NV - E-SE, as major rivers flowing. Thus floodplain has an absolute altitude of Neamţului its entry into depression approx. 480 m and the locality Blebea (15 km downstream) altitude down to approx. 350 m. In case of Topoliţei inclination is 490 m at the entrance to the river valley (village Filioara), 320 m (village Târpeşti) - a distance of 13 km. On most of the territory predominant relief sculptural expression in inter-shed tilts over 3 degrees, affected by the runoff and rains and landslides and falls. Altitude substrate depends on the lithological composition, exceeding 550 m in Brădăţel Hill (557 m), Osoiu Hill (550 m), Potter's Hill (490 m) and about 400 m down the hill and Hill Humuleşti Ocea. 3.2. The tourism potential landscapes and geosites More broadly, the tourist potential of a territory is all natural, economic and cultural - historical, showing some possibilities and tourist give a specific functionality for tourism and therefore prerequisites for tourism development. (Erdeli, 1996). A territory for tourists interested in as far as natural or man offers tourist resources, which are regarded as tourist attractions or tourist resources. The tourism potential of the two components of its tourist potential natural and anthropic tourism potential is a fundamental factor in tourism development. Its presence or absence is crucial in the development of tourism. It includes all factors of attraction belonging to the natural and anthropogenic exploited by tourist facilities and generating tourist flow to the country's indigenous or international moves to the country of destination where "consumers" in a peculiar fashion, tourism, tourism product, result in potential and planning. Figure 1. Touristic fund from Neamt Depression Modern activity, with prospects and high expectations, tourism is the most well defined footprint of Neamt Depression the tourist image of Moldova, the country or, why not, even from abroad, regardless of the period to which we refer as a result of the multitude of what are common sights in this space. 53 Obviously, such a brand image can not be based only on an exceptional tourism fund. If its entirety anthropogenic (monasteries, museums, memorial houses, Neamt Fortress) are well known and presented very well in a broad range of studies in different fields (geography, history etc.), those belonging to the natural environment they were rarely discussed, which are of great importance (mineral waters). They have an almost continuous presence on the internal side Pleşu Peak and in contact with the mountain's western basin.

The present study aims to evaluate the competition between the modern management and the ethno-management of the water resources from Eastern Romania. The employment of specific hydrological, ethno-archaeological and spatial analysis methods yielded well delimited specific areas, corresponding to the levels of NaCl present in rivers and springs. The waters from the mountainous and piedmont areas of the Carpathians are directly influenced by the presence of salt deposits. The reduced salinity of the larger water arteries is due to the important liquid discharges that dilute the salts. The recent ethno-archaeological investigations that focused on the approximately 200 salt springs which were identified in the sub-Carpathian areas of Moldavia, have highlighted a well-structured ethno-management system. The modern management of the fresh water resources, developed under governmental and local communal financial support, must be continued with increased intensity. Conversely, an involvement into the ethno-management of the salt-water springs must be generally prohibited; only seldomly, in cases of uttermost necessity, can it interfere with the 8.000-years-old ethno-management of these salt-water springs.

Since Romania holds a rich tourism heritage and a great tourism potential, the tourism division into zones was drawn up as “a possibility toward a superior and complex development of the tourism resources, in a unified vision…” (Erdeli, Gheorghilaş, 2006, p. 264), this representing a permanent concern of the specialists from all fields that are related to the tourism management. Although the criteria for selection and ranking of the tourist attractions have been the subject of some controversies, regarding the types of tourism that can be practiced in these areas, there were arrived almost unanimous conclusions. In order to ensure the representativeness and considering that all historical regions of the contemporary Romania are to the same extent micro- destinations with a substantial “tourism heritage”, the regions of Moldavia (including Bukovina) and Maramureş were merged into one for the elaboration of the research that presents, in essence, the main types of tourism and a part of the treasury of Romanian age-old heritage. Keywords: tourism destination; tourism micro-destination; destination image; regional tourism brand; type of tourism; destination marketing. JEL Code: M31.

    Section Hydrology and Water Resources THE DISTRIBUTION OF SALT MASSIFS AND THE EXPLOITATION OF ANCIENT AND CURRENT RESERVES OF MINERALIZED WATERS WITHIN THE SIRET HYDROGRAPHICAL BASIN (ROMANIA) – CASE STUDY FOR THE EASTERN AREA OF THE EASTERN CARPATHIANS Professor Dr Gheorghe Romanescu1 Associate Professor Dr Marius Alexianu2 Research Assistant Dr Andrei Asăndulesei3 1 “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Department of Geography, Romania. 2 “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, Faculty of Letters, Romania. 3 “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, Interdisciplinary Research Department – Field Science, Romania. ABSTRACT The present study proposed to underline the importance of salt-water reserves in the life of the local communities and to quantify the value of certain basic elements that can affect their chemical properties. The salinity does not produce pollution, but only a restriction of water use in certain domains. There is a close connection between the genesis of salt reserves and the emergence of springs, the type of rock, the regional and local climatic regime, the type of hydrographical network supply, and the liquid discharge. The waters within the Carpathian mountainous and sub-mountainous area can be influenced directly by the emergence of salt deposits on the surface. The poorest springs are situated in the area of the Moldavian Subcarpathians, where there are diapiric outcrops. The Neolithic settlements in the east of the Eastern Carpathians attest the oldest use of salt springs in the world. Some springs may be underlined by the humans through animals, mostly the sheep, which looked for salinized fields for their optimal water intake.

  • Climate Seasonality and Its Relevance for Soil Erosion During Summer in Extra-Carpathian Moldova
    https://doi.org/10.15551/pesd2020142015 PESD, VOL. 14, no. 2, 2020 CLIMATE SEASONALITY AND ITS RELEVANCE FOR SOIL EROSION DURING SUMMER IN EXTRA-CARPATHIAN MOLDOVA Mădălina Mega1, Andreea-Diana Damian1 1“Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Romania; [email protected]; [email protected] Keywords: climate seasonality, climatic indices, extra-Carpathian Moldova, ROCADA database, rainfall erosivity Abstract: Rainfall erosivity is one of the most important topics, linking geomorphological and climatological studies. Rainwater plays an important role in triggering soil erosion. Thus, the impact of raindrops during significant torrential episodes causes the destabilization of soil aggregates and leads to erosion. Romania is a country where dry periods alternate with the rainy ones and studying rainfall erosivity is essential due to its importance for agriculture. The highest intensity of erosion occurs during violent rainfall episodes in the summer months, this being triggered by the energy of the torrential rains, but also by the liquid runoff. The extra-Carpathian Moldova is located in the northeastern and eastern part of Romania. In this study, The Suceava Plateau, The Moldavian Plain, The Moldavian Subcarpathians and The Bârlad Plateau were considered as part of the extra-Carpathian Moldova. Four indices were used to assess the climate seasonality on a general level with focus on the summer climate conditions: De Martonne Aridity Index (IdM), Lang Factor (L), Precipitation Concentration Index (PCI) and Angot Index (K). Our results indicate moderate seasonality in precipitation concentration along the year which underlines that the region cannot be considered climaticaly prone to massive soil erosion induced by rainfall erosivity.

  • Romania's Energy Resource Management in The
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 8th INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE"MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT", November 6th-7th, 2014, BUCHAREST, ROMANIA ROMANIA’S ENERGY RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF 2020 Gheorghe VLĂSCEANU1 Liviu Bogdan VLAD2 ABSTRACT EU policy regarding energy for the period of time until 2020 requires Romania to review its energy resource management. The Romanian energy market, as part of the Community energy market, has to firstly be a nationally competitive market and then comply to European standards; a market in which the eligible consumers’ weight should prevail and the majority of production, distribution and supply activities should be developed within the private sector. The papers have identified the traditional sources for obtaining wind energy, within the parameters of economic efficiency and pollution specified by the EU’s policies, and whose capitalization should reach the performance standards required by the EU, as well as the weight perspective of non-conventional energy. KEY WORDS: economics, strategic resources, management, geopolitics. JEL CLASSIFICATION: M10, M11, N7, O13 1. INTRODUCTION In order to establish realistic strategies regarding the energetic future of the country, an evaluation of energetic resources was made through the reserves-production relation, from which the time that must be taken into consideration for their consumption must result. (Zamfir, Andreea (2005) “Dezvoltarea sectorului energetic din România – obiectiv principal al strategiei de dezvoltare durabilă orizont 2025”, Economia seria Management, 8 (1)). The complex problem of energy strategies is up for debate among specialists in various fields: electrical energy, geology, economy, geography, extraction etc., being at the same time a part of the EU’s perspective plans for energy safety.
