The Ethnic Structure of the Population Elena DĂNILĂ1 1 University of Bucharest, Faculty of Geography, Bucharest, ROMANIA E-mail: [email protected] K e y w o r d s: Harghita County, ethnic structure, ethnic assimilation, majority, minority A B S T R A C T The Hungarian population is concentrated in the upper ponds of the Mureş river and the Olt river, in the Eastern Carpathians and the Eastern border of the Intracarpathian Transylvanian Plateau. This zone is situated 200 km far off Hungary and separated from its territory by Apuseni Mountains, whose population is almost 100% Romanian. Harghita County is composed of 67 localities, with a population of 304.969 inhabitants. A big amount of the Hungarian population which inhabits Romania is concentrated in Harghita County, which is part of the Central Development Region. The Region holds a percentage of 29,9 % of Hungarian population, while the county itself holds 85% of this population. The Romanian people represents 14% of the county population and it is concentrated in 9 administrative-territorial units, out of which 7 are communes. In these 7 communes the amount of Romanian population is over 70%. These are located in the North of the county, except for the Voşlăbeni commune, which is located in the center of the area inhabited by Szekelys. There are other villages preponderantly inhabited by Romanians, like Livezi and Făgeţel, which are not part of the 7 communes with Romanian population in majority. According to the historian Ioan I. Russu, the Romanian population from the territory inhabited by Szekelys today, was assimilated in the Middle Ages. This process is treated in several studies and it is presumed that the Romanian people represented at first the majority in some parts of the territory inhabited by Szekelys, but a great amount of it was “szekelysed”. The paper focuses on the study of the ethnical structure and its evolution in the rural space of Harghita County, emphasizing the characteristics of the rural settlements according to the ethnical majorities and their distribution in the territory. 1. INTRODUCTION Harghita County is the assimilation issue, respectively the Magyarization and Szeklerization of Romanians In order to understand the demographic from the former Székely Seats. processes and phenomena is necessary the recourse to Compared with the situation of urban history. Thus, various factors including macro social communities, from the structural point of view, mono- long-term processes should be considered. The ethnic rural communities have a much slower evolution of ethnic structure is based on factors such as movement. In case of mixed ethnic communities, territorial discontinuities, emigration, assimilation, population increases are based on distinct factors. For ethnic enclavisation, urbanization and the demographic Romanian population relevant is the high natural regime specific to each ethnic group. growth rate and for Hungarian population decisive is This article is the result of an attempt to the assimilation of other ethnic population.

  • Ethnomedicinal Treatment of Gastrointestinal Disorders in Transylvania, Romania
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica 62(1), 207–220 (2017) DOI: 10.1556/022.2017.62.1.10 Ethnomedicinal Treatment of Gastrointestinal Disorders in Transylvania, Romania Nóra Papp – Mónika Tóth – Tünde Dénes – Kinga Gyergyák – Rita Filep – Sámuel Gergely Bartha – Rita Csepregi – Viktória Lilla Balázs – Ágnes Farkas Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Pécs Abstract: Ethnomedicine using mostly plants is of pivotal importance nowadays in several Transylvanian regions in Romania. In this study (2007–2015), one Swabian-German, one Hungarian, three Csángó-Hungarian and nine Székely-Hungarian villages were selected to collect ethnomedicinal treatments for various gastrointestinal diseases. Some of the studied villages have partial or no permanent medical and pharmaceutical services. The 374 inhabitants interviewed used mostly medicinal plants based on ancient knowledge. The 78 (53 wild and 25 cultivated) plants documented have 181 local names and are used to treat ailments such as loss of appetite, bloating, stomach ache, gastric ulcer, and diarrhea, mostly in tea form. This knowledge decreases continuously because of loss of interest among young people and through frequent use of media sources and books. Although some of these plants have also been described in official medicinal sources, several data suggest the need for further fieldwork and new experimental analyses to highlight the valuable role of these plants in recent phytotherapy. Keywords: ethnobotany, fieldwork, medicinal plant, Transylvania INTRODUCTION Ethnomedicinal home practices, involving the use of plants, animals and minerals, have been known in Transylvania for several centuries. People living in isolated villages have unique experience on plants’ use because of lack of medical services. This indigenous knowledge is based on special observations on how to apply both wild and cultivated plants.

    1.) Gebietsumf ang und Ortsverzeichnis der Autonomen Mad.jarisehen Region in Rumänien. Bericht u,Auszug Rumänien_ Verwaltung-Bevölkerung Zum Abschluß der Berichterstattung über die Autonome Madjarische Regi­ on, die durch die neue rumänische Verfassung vom 24«September 1952 geschaf­ fen wurde (Vgl. Wissenschaft1.Dienst Südosteuropa Hr.1,S*9 u.22 und Nr.2, S-1 ff u. S.16) soll im Folgenden eine kurze Beschreibung der Gebietsaus- dehnung und Grenzen dieser Region gegeben werden sowie ein Verzeichnis der Gemeinden, die zu dieser Region gehören. Es ist von besonderem Interesse, zu untersuchen, wie weit sich die Ausdeh­ nung der autonomen madjarischen Region an frühere Verwaltungseinheiten u. Grenzen anschließt und noch mehr, wie weit sie sich bemüht, tatsächlich den Grenzen des geschlossenen Siedlungsgebietes der Szekler zu folgen. Man sollte nun meinen, daß sic} die neugeschaffene Region entweder an die genauen Grenzen des geschlossenen madjarischen Siedlungsgebietes halten, also dem eigentlichen Zweck ihrer Errichtung Rechnung tragen würde, oder sich an frühere Verwaltungsgebiete anlehnen, also historischen Erwägungen folgen würde. Es ist jedoch merkwürdigerweise weder das eine noch das an­ dere der Fall. Die Abgrenzung der Autonomen Madjarischen Region schließt sich an keine ehemaligen Verwaltungsgrenzen an und folgt solchen nur an jenen Stellen, wo sie ganz unverrückbar mit von der Natur vorgezeichneten Linien,-insbesondere dem Karpaterhauptkamrn,zusammenfallen. Sie weicht aber auch an vielen Stellen von den Volkstumsgrenzen auffallend

  • Cultural and Linguistic Layers Embedded in Romanian Oikonyms Derived from Hagionyms
    Cultural and linguistic layers embedded in Romanian oikonyms derived from hagionyms Oliviu FELECAN and Nicolae FELECAN Introduction In addition to constituting linguistic, geographical, historical, anthropo- logical, ethnographic, social and psychological markers, toponyms may also function as religious symbols, especially in those cases when the name of a place is derived from a hagionym. In the present paper, we focus on hagionymic oikonyms, a field of research that has been explored through various theoretical frameworks within Romania and which pro- vides fruitful insights into religious and cultural practices and attitudes. In the case of oikonyms bearing a religious background, “the proper name is a linguistic sign that designates a precise referent which can be located in time and space” (Billy 1995, p. 142, apud Vaxelaire 2005, p. 161, orig. French1) and whose position is transparent. Accordingly, our study lies within the broad domain of onomastics, highlighting specific aspects related to anthroponymy, on the one hand, and toponymy, on the other. With regard to Romanian anthroponymy, Puşcariu (1976, p. 298, orig. Romanian) has pointed out that: there is no continuity between the official names of pagan Romans and Christian Romanians. […] Christianity does not seem to have greatly affected old Romanian onomastics. In fact, apart from the two names Nicoară and Sumedrea (from Sâmedru = Sanctus Demetrius)2 ­Romanian does not evidence any other hagionyms revealing ancient phonetic structures. 1 The quotations marked as being originally in French or Romanian (indicated by “orig. French” and “orig. Romanian” respectively) are only provided as translations. 2 As an oikonym, this name does not occur in the Daco-Romanian area.

  • Romania - Adopted on 22 June 2017 Published on 16 February 2018
    ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON THE FRAMEWORK CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES ACFC/OP/IV(2017)005 Fourth Opinion on Romania - adopted on 22 June 2017 Published on 16 February 2018 Summary The authorities in Romania promote respect and understanding in society and representatives of most national minorities report an overall embracing attitude prevailing between the majority and the minorities. The authorities have made efforts to promote minority cultures and education, and particular steps which have been taken to facilitate representation of national minorities in parliament are widely recognised and appreciated. The Law on Education remains the main legislative basis for teaching in and of national minority languages. A consolidated and coherent legal framework related to the protection of minority rights is lacking and the draft Law on the Status of National Minorities, proposed in parliament in 2006, has still not been adopted. Existing legislation regulating different aspects of national minority protection is disjointed, piecemeal, full of grey zones and open to contradictory interpretation. A coherent policy to guarantee access to minority rights is still lacking and respect of rights of persons belonging to national minorities varies according to local conditions and the goodwill of the municipal or regional authorities. Persistence of negative attitudes and prejudice against the Roma and anti-Hungarian sentiment is of considerable concern. Despite the resolute stance of the National Council for Combating Discrimination, court rulings and statements from the authorities, racist incidents continue to be reported. The revised Strategy for the Inclusion of Romanian Citizens Belonging to the Roma Minority – 2012-2020, adopted in 2015, sets targets in the key areas of education, employment, health and housing and addresses also promotion and protection of Roma culture and participation in public and political life.

  • Ecoterra, No. 26, 2011 55 RELATION BETWEEN SETTLEMENT SYSTEM
    Ecoterra, no. 26, 2011 RELATION BETWEEN SETTLEMENT SYSTEM AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IN CIUC-BASIN IN THE LAST SEVEN CENTURIES Tibor ELEKES University of Miskolc, Depatment of Geography, Hungary Abstract: In Ciuc-basin the evolution of settlement system is a centuries-old process. In 1567, 42 villages were registered. The evaluation of today’s settlement system lasted till the 20th century. In the years of 1950’s and 1960’s the scattered settlements and detached farms were declared villages. During centuries the town system had changed little. Near Miercurea-Ciuc, which had performed administrative duties for a short periods, Băile Tuşnad was declared to town in the middle of 20th century. The evaluation of settlement system, administration and environment are illustrated as a process on the 18 maps, made by myself. In this paper there are published three of them. They give a historical and stop-gap summary. Mass of facts, relating with settlements, regions, environment, administrative units placed in space can represent a base to the organising microregions in the last few years. In the same time old-centuries processes can be traced back: the natural environment was receded step by step with the evaluation of settlement systems. Keywords: settlement system, natural environment, maps. Introduction In the Carpathians the settlement-systems of intermountain basins had come into being after certain stages of development. In the process of changing settlement systems not only the role of natural features, economic and social factors are determinant, but political decisions are also important. The knowledge of the evaluation of settlements system, changing of administration and settlement-environment system plays an important role in the evaluation of settlement system and in resolving of environmental problems.

  • Draft Map and the List of Administrative Units
    Defining the Scope of Application for the Strategy for Development of Sustainable Tourism of the Carpathians: Draft map and the list of administrative units The Carpathian Convention Working Group on Sustainable Tourism at its meeting on 12-14 May 2014, Bratislava, Slovakia, discussed the map presented below. The Working Group concluded that along with administrative units, the map should include the geographical scope of the Carpathians as it is currently defined by the Party. The geographical scope of the Carpathians defines the core area for implementing the actions outlined in the strategy, while the administrative borders are useful for decision making, resource allocation and monitoring purposes. The Working Group decided to develop two maps that may be useful during the implementation of the strategy: 1. A map of local administrative units on LAU1 level in EU countries, “raions” in Ukraine and municipalities in Serbia that also features the geographical scope of the Carpathians. Such map may be helpful when involving the authorities and stakeholders into project development and implementation and when action is needed for decision making and implementation on the smallest administrative level. 2. A map of administrative units at NUTS3 or NUTS2 level, “oblast” in Ukraine and districts in Serbia that also features the geographical scope of the Carpathians. Such map would be useful when action is needed on the regional decision level, and whenever the interlinkage of the Carpathians with surrounding areas is important (e.g. for optimizing
