These geographical - historical characteristics of the Transylvanian region have generated through the historical periods the existence of a land with comprehensive meaning of the geographical space. In this context, the topic of our study discovers the birth of each town and his evolution over the years, its importance and functions in each historical period. In order to achieve a better knowledge about the geographical-historical evolution of towns in Transylvania we have identified and analyzed the differences between the ages of different towns referring to their first documentary attestation. Then, we deduced the three genetic types of towns in Transylvania region that can be divided into three categories: fortress and citadel, fair and primary resource town. The correlation between the ages of towns and their genetic type is performed, resulting in a novel approach for the geographical - historical research in the evolution of a town from the Transylvania region.

The article presents, based on the data analysis technique, the results of the referendum, while also identifying the main causes of its invalidation. Among the causes referred to below, the disregard of the concentric circles model and the exaggerated extension of the areas (the localities) where the referendum was organized emerge as prominent. Key words: mining; referendum; Roșia Montană; RMGC; the model of concentric circles. 1. Introduction Over time, mining has fully contributed to the development of Romania's national economy. The decision-makers need to understand the complexity of mining activities and the important role that they play in the country's economic sector. After the fall of communism in Romania, major transformations have occurred in the mining field, through reorganization, restructuring, concessions, the stopping of activities and finally the closing of mines, which have produced major negative effects on the economy and on the social life throughout the country (Mucea, 2018b, pp.

Development through participation has shifted the traditional paradigm by placing emphasis on a diversity of local actors, and has generated mixed results, depending on the socio-cultural context of the development area. The socio- cultural characteristics of the local respondents may provide clues that can prove helpful in optimising the strategy of social intervention.

  • DANIEL DUMITRAN, Jewish Cemeteries Of
    DANIEL DUMITRAN, Jewish Cemeteries of Romania: Alba Iulia Case Study Abstract: Places of memory and also holders of significant historical information, Jewish cemeteries were in Romania insufficiently subject to recovery efforts. The dramatic decline in Jewish communities led to the cessation of the use of several cemeteries and to severe deteriorations of funerary monuments. According to statistics from 2007, of the 810 registered cemeteries, over 750 were in places where Jews no longer existed. In the last decade a general inventory has been made and the risk factors for the preservation of gravestones have been indicated. However, concrete interventions for research and preservation of cemeteries have been delayed. In these circumstances, the question is whether their meanings (sacred places, places of memory, vestiges of the past) have been preserved for the non-Jewish communities, or whether they are doomed to oblivion, like the communities they served. My paper tries to answer this question, based on the results of an ongoing project, regarding the inventory and description of gravestones existing in the Jewish cemeteries of Alba County. The only city in Transylvania where Jews had the right of settlement from the seventeenth century, Alba Iulia hosted a large community of Jews, originally Sephardic, and later majority Ashkenazi. The cemetery, with continuing function attested from the mid eighteenth century, reflects the combination of strictly observed tradition and tendency towards integration into the host community, in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, when Jews acquired civil emancipation. The few monumental crypts belonging to rich families illustrate their full integration in the host Hungarian community.

    START UP INFORMATION City/Partnership Alba Iulia Contact (name-institution-mail) Project Name of the project-action to be developed Cooperation Thematic Area Concrete Challenge Faced SHORT SUMARY OF THE CITY’S CONTEXT • General presentation Alba Iulia is a 74000-inhabitant city located in Transylvania, at the center of Romania. More than 700 employees work for the Municipality. Alba Iulia is an emergent European tourist destination, due to its impressive 2000-year historic and cultural heritage. It is the symbol city of Romanian unity (in 1918, the unification of Romanian provinces took place here) and it is marketing itself as “The Other Capital”. Alba Iulia was the first Romanian city to draft a city brand manual adhering to international standards. Its branding strategy focuses on the main identity element of Alba Iulia: Alba Carolina Citadel, an 18th century citadel built by the Austrian Empire, which was recently rehabilitated with funds offered by the EU, the Romanian government, the Kingdom of Norway, the Japanese government and the United Nations. Alba Iulia has the highest EU fund absorption rate per capita in Romania - 150 million euros were attracted to the city in the last 10 years. It is also the first city in Romania to receive a rating from Moody’s (in 2015, Ba1 with positive outlook) and the only Romanian city to have had a technical assistance agreement with the World Bank. Alba Iulia has also been mentioned in publications such as Forbes, Washington Post or Corriere della Sera, as a best practice example in the field of cultural tourism and city branding strategies.
