From the strategic point of view it is necessary to adjust the main recommendations of sustainable development (as they were stated in Rio Declaration on environment and development) to urban reality: 1st Recommendation: The people are in the center of urban mobility concerns. The citizens have the right to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature. 2nd Recommendation: Cities have the right to exploit and organize their own material resources according to their environment and development policies, only if the activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the local environment or to the areas in close proximity. 4 3rd Recommendation: The right to development must be accomplished so as to meet developmental and environmental needs of the present and future generations. 4th Recommendation: To achieve sustainable development environmental protection shall constitute as a part of development process and can not be considered apart of this. 5th Recommendation: All central and legal institutions should cooperate in order to eradicate poverty as essential requirement of sustainable development to reduce disparities between standards of living and to better meet the needs of most people. 6th Recommendation: Priority must be given to special situation and disadvantaged local areas needs of the cities. Actions related to environment and development should address to interests and needs of all the citizens. 7th Recommendation: To achieve sustainable development and a better quality of life for all the citizens, urban local administrations should reduce and eliminate unsustainable patterns of production and consumption and to promote appropriate demographic policies. 8th Recommendation: Local authorities have to promote the internalization of environmental costs and economical instruments use, considering the approach according to which the polluter should bear the cost of pollution. 9th Recommendation: Environmental issues are best handled with the participations of all citizens at the relevant level. For this, each individual shall have appropriate access to information held by public authority, including information on hazardous materials and activities in their communities and each individual shall have the opportunity to participate in decision making.

Study Background Japan International Cooperation Agency decided to conduct the Study on “Master Plan for Hazardous Waste Management in Romania” in response to the request of the Government of Romania. In 2001, JICA conducted a baseline study using Environmental Resources Management (ERM), a UK consulting firm. In November 2001, JICA and the Ministry of Waters and Environmental Protection (MWEP) of Romania have signed the Scope of Work and Minutes of Meeting for the Study. In February 2002, JICA commenced the Study by forming a JICA Study Team comprising of two Japanese consulting firms. In general, Romanian hazardous waste management is poor and backward. Main problems include: 1) Low level of awareness on the part of citizens and industry about possible impacts of hazardous waste on health and environment. 2) There are almost no treatment and disposal facilities dedicated for hazardous waste. 3) Low level of application of industrial pollution prevention, control (IPPC) and cleaner production (CP). 4) Low level of the government capacity for law enforcement and poor information system 5) Lack of steady and reliable implementation plan of EU directives in spite of vigorous transposition of the directives. 6) Difficulty for industrial enterprises to acquire funds for industrial and environmental upgrading. 2. Study Objective The Study Objective is: • To strengthen hazardous waste management system in Romania at both governmental and private sector levels.

    About Romania Romania (Romanian: România, IPA: [ro.mɨni.a]) is a country in Southeastern Europe sited in a historic region that dates back to antiquity. It shares border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the northeast, and Bulgaria to the south. Romania has a stretch of sea coast along the Black Sea. It is located roughly in the lower basin of the Danube and almost all of the Danube Delta is located within its territory. Romania is a parliamentary unitary state. As a nation-state, the country was formed by the merging of Moldavia and Wallachia in 1859 and it gained recognition of its independence in 1878. Later, in 1918, they were joined by Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia. At the end of World War II, parts of its territories (roughly the present day Moldova) were occupied by USSR and Romania became a member of Warsaw Pact. With the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, Romania started a series of political and economic reforms that peaked with Romania joining the European Union. Romania has been a member of the European Union since January 1, 2007, and has the ninth largest territory in the EU and with 22 million people [1] it has the 7th largest population among the EU member states. Its capital and largest city is Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti /bu.kureʃtʲ/ (help·info)), the sixth largest city in the EU with almost 2 million people. In 2007, Sibiu, a large city in Transylvania, was chosen as European Capital of Culture.[2] Romania joined NATO on March 29, 2004, and is also a member of the Latin Union, of the Francophonie and of OSCE.

  • Geothermal Development Opportunities in Oradea
    Orkustofnun, Grensasvegur 9, Reports 2016 IS-108 Reykjavik, Iceland Number 14 GEOTHERMAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN ORADEA Adrian George Foghiș Oradea Metropolitan Area Piata Unirii 1-3 P.O. Box 410100, Oradea ROMANIA [email protected] ABSTRACT Located in an area of sedimentary basins with low-enthalpy geothermal resources, Oradea city in Romania has a tradition of geothermal research and exploitation. Considering the objectives of the local public administration to develop further the utilization of geothermal resources, the report presents potential geothermal development opportunities in the area. The necessity of a more efficient use of the existing resources and infrastructure is underlined, plus the need for a strategic orientation towards the increase in geothermal exploitation opportunities. Optimization with sustainability as a key goal in the utilization of the geothermal resource in Oradea is of importance, as well as improving air quality by reducing burning of fossil fuels, lowering the heating cost for the population and improving energy safety by increasing usage of a local energy source. This can help Romania to fulfil the 20-20-20 goal of the EU, which can improve the local development of the area. The report presents a proposal of a geothermal road map to 2030, with 3 phases of development at metropolitan level. 1. INTRODUCTION The main topic of the report relates to geothermal development opportunities, as it considers the geothermal resource being one of the most important future inputs for energetic mix independence in the Oradea region. This implies also actions towards a more extensive use of geothermal energy. The general literature review about the benefits of geothermal power and energy shows, that geothermal resources are a cheap form of renewable energy, with many advantages proven over time.

  • Urban Sprawl and Residential Development in the Romanian Metropolitan Areas
    URBAN SPRAWL AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE ROMANIAN METROPOLITAN AREAS INES GRIGORESCU*, BIANCA MITRICĂ**, IRENA MOCANU** , NICOLETA TICANĂ*** Key-words: suburbanization, residential patterns, urban sprawl, metropolitan areas, Romania. In Romania nearly 7,500,000 (34%) inhabitants are living in metropolitan areas. The socio-economic and political changes brought about by the post-communist period have reshaped the metropolitan landscape together with its functional and socio-spatial pattern triggering a wide range of transformations mainly related to urban sprawl process (suburbanization). As one of its major consequences, residential development had caused the deconcentration and the spatial redistribution of the population within metropolitan areas. The paper attempts to analyse the main suburbanization-related residential patterns in connection with their key driving forces (socio-political, demographic, economic, housing) and the associated environmental consequences in the Romanian metropolitan areas in terms of: urban (residential) sprawl, real-estate market dynamics, changes in spatial pattern of population, living floor dynamics, etc., with a special focus on the most significant metropolitan systems: Bucharest, Oradea, Iaşi and Constanţa. The present study will combine GIS computer mapping techniques with housing and demographic data and field surveys to identify the main urban-sprawl-related current residential patterns in the Romanian metropolitan areas and understand causes of change in order to predict how alternative policies will influence future spatial development. INTRODUCTION Over the past years most of European countries have faced the growing challenges of transformations in urban form and development patterns (Patacchini et al. 2009) through suburbanisation and densification processes (ESPON FOCI 2010). The conversion of agricultural and natural ecosystems as well as urban land-use changes have grown to be critical components of global change (Pouyt et al.
