Beyond the River, under the Eye of Rome Ethnographic Landscapes, Imperial Frontiers, and the Shaping of a Danubian Borderland by Timothy Campbell Hart A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Greek and Roman History) in the University of Michigan 2017 Doctoral Committee: Professor David S. Potter, Co-Chair Professor Emeritus Raymond H. Van Dam, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Ian David Fielding Professor Christopher John Ratté © Timothy Campbell Hart [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-8640-131X For my family ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Developing and writing a dissertation can, at times, seem like a solo battle, but in my case, at least, this was far from the truth. I could not have completed this project without the advice and support of many individuals, most crucially, my dissertation co-chairs David S. Potter, and Raymond Van Dam. Ray saw some glimmer of potential in me and worked to foster it from the moment I arrived at Michigan. I am truly thankful for his support throughout the years and constant advice on both academic and institutional matters. In particular, our conversations about demographics and the movement of people in the ancient world were crucial to the genesis of this project. Throughout the writing process, Ray’s firm encouragement towards clarity of argument and style, while not always what I wanted to hear, have done much to make this a stronger dissertation. David Potter has provided me with a lofty academic model towards which to strive. I admire the breadth and depth of his scholarship; working and teaching with him have shown me much worth emulating. -
The Evolution of the Road Transport Network in Moldavia – from Geographical Coherence to Peripheral Dependence
Revista Română de Geografie Politică Year XIII, no. 2, November 2011, pp. 210-228 ISSN 1454-2749, E-ISSN 2065-1619 Article no. 132108-223 THE EVOLUTION OF THE ROAD TRANSPORT NETWORK IN MOLDAVIA – FROM GEOGRAPHICAL COHERENCE TO PERIPHERAL DEPENDENCE Ionel MUNTELE University of Iaşi, Faculty of Geography, “Alexandru Iona Cuza” 11A Carol I Av., 700505, Iaşi, Romania, e-mail: [email protected] Gabriel CIMPOEŞU-HAISUC University of Iaşi, Faculty of Geography, “Alexandru Iona Cuza” 11A Carol I Av., 700505, Iaşi, Romania, [email protected] Abstract : This study is primarily aimed at diagnosing the development of road network in the north-east part of Romania, as a prerequisite for an analysis of its quality. Tracking how this network was formed during the last three centuries, was allowed to browse a large bibliography and support that was original or processed cartographic representations. Starting from the existence of natural and anthropogenic premises of the road network development in this region, the analysis was carried in accordance with to conventional means of historical geography, highlighting the political implications. The periodization made to take account of the moments of rupture in the evolution of the network studied, overlapping of major geopolitical changes. Essential conclusion is the assumption that the structure validation center of road network in north- east Romania (Moldavia) was profoundly distorted due to a continuous process of marginalization, emphasized in the contemporary period. In this way, what could be a shaft of the network coordinatory axis, the transcontinental road that was Siret Valley terminus with the port of Galaţi, was deeply reshuffled being diverted towards the capital (Bucharest), in a process of excessive centralization. -
Genesis and Dynamics of a Geo-Demographic Singularity. a Case Study - the Gipsy Community of Toflea (Br Ăhă E Ti Commune, Gala Łi County) 1

A CASE STUDY - THE GIPSY COMMUNITY OF TOFLEA (BR ĂHĂŞ EŞTI COMMUNE, GALA łI COUNTY) 1 ∗∗∗ Ionel MUNTELE „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Ia şi, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Department of Geography, Carol I Avenue, no 11, 700506, Ia şi, România, e-mail: [email protected] Raluca HOREA-ŞERBAN „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Ia şi, România, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Department of Geography, Carol I Avenue, no 11, 700506, Ia şi, Romania, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: During the last two decades Romania has experienced one of the most serious demographic crises in its history. But regardless of this context, certain communities manage to preserve their demographic vitality at the local level in close connection to their cultural and social features. It is the case of Brăhăş eşti commune in Gala Ńi County, known for the large gipsy community living in Toflea, one of its component villages. Its recent demographic evolution extending over the last decades points out its strong differentiation within the county. Being characterized by tendencies which are opposed to the general ones, this community manages not only to keep its exceptional demographic potential but also to produce, by means of migration, a real dissemination in a relatively vast space comprising the whole south-eastern part of Moldavia. The main conclusion of the research is that this community has become not only the main population reservoir of the whole north-western part of Gala Ńi county but also the principal source of serious social problems as a consequence of the dimension of certain specific phenomena . -

Assessing the Local Environmental Performance in Western Moldavia (Romania)
DOI 10.1515/pesd-2015-0004 PESD, VOL. 9, no. 1, 2015 ASSESSING THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE IN WESTERN MOLDAVIA (ROMANIA) 1 2 Alexandra Sandu , Alexandru Bănică Key words: environmental performance, indicators, local level, cluster analysis Abstract. The environmental performance is a result of measurable characteristics emerging from the functionality of integrated environmental management systems based on various sustainable development policies at different administrative levels. This paper aims to quantify some dimensions of environmental performance in terms of outcomes and administrative efficiency for Western Moldavia region, using the latest available data. The obtained results demonstrate the territorial heterogeneity of environmental state, pressure and spatial resilience by highlighting the importance of ecosystems viability (forest cover, land degradation), sustainable local governance (environmental expenditure), energy, water quality, sanitation and environmental health (sanitation services, access to water and sewage, use of renewable energy). If completed in future by integrating other local environmental performance indicators the outcome of this research could become a viable tool for local and regional system of government in establishing policies in order to effectively preserve the environment. Introduction The environmental performance is an important component for understanding the capacity of a system to cope with the anthropogenic stress, a good approach in dealing with the environmental issues showing a high resilience capacity. Meanwhile it is important to describe environmental performance at all scales of governance and to envisage indicators that are measurable and comparable over time and across units of analysis. The environmental indicators are numerical 1Msc.

113 a Preliminary Analysis of Agriculture in Western
LUCRĂRILE SEMINARULUI GEOGRAFIC “DIMITRIE CANTEMIR” NR. 37, 2014 A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURE IN WESTERN MOLDAVIA Maria – Simona Cuciureanu,1 Corneliu Iațu, Ionuț Onose Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the features of agriculture in Western Moldavia and especially in Botoșani County in a regional context (Western Moldavia), between 2003 and 2010. Since agriculture is an important factor for the economy of an area, it is important to notice and identify the development steps of this economic sector. Sometimes, administrative units have a natural tendency to specialize in certain crops and livestock according to the qualitative and/or restrictive factors. This phenomenon highlights the modernization of agriculture and the elimination of subsistence farming. An important actor for the positive metamorphosis of agriculture in Western Moldavia and the engine for economic development in rural areas is represented by the European funds, which encouraged the development of agriculture, and particularly its specialization. This study analyses the concentration and share of the cultivated land and livestock density, also comprising a set of clusters made at the level of the basic administrative units starting from these indicators. The present paper is also meant to investigate the present stage of development of the study area, emphasizing the progress / regress that the agricultural field recorded between 2003 and 2010. Keywords: agriculture, rural areas, rural development, local economy, Western Moldavia. 1. Introduction The priority of rural development is the modernization of agriculture and, more widely, of the rural economy by mastering the economic and social functions which are vital for the food system: providing balanced nutrition for the entire population, the necessary raw materials for non-agricultural activities and ensuring an active and profitable export of agricultural products. -

We attempt to reconstruct the complex “Danubian” and “west Carpathian” ethno–cultural processes that caused the various population move- ments from the West to the East of the Carpathians, defining the archaeological indicators, especially the ceramic ones, on the basis of which the influences and interferences between the various communities of the Neolithic and Eneolithic can be defined -
The Habsburg Mapping of Moldavia and Wala- Chia
The Habsburg mapping of Moldavia and Wala- chia Zsombor BARTOS-ELEKES* * Babeş–Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Abstract. On the Balkan Peninsula, in the 18th and 19th centuries, the Ottoman Empire was in decline, the Habsburg Empire (and the Russian Empire) became stronger. Between these three powers, Moldavia and Walachia (now the eastern and southern part of Romania) were vassal states of the Ottoman Empire, but sometimes they were occupied by Habsburgs (or by Russians). The Habsburgs realized two times the topographic survey and map of these two countries, using the period of two occupations. The first detailed surveys and maps were made between 1788 and 1791. The maps of Khotyn and Western Moldavia were made by Hora von Otzellowitz at a scale of 1:28,800 (29 and 107 map sheets and index map). The map of Walachia was made by Specht at a scale of 1:57,600 (108 map sheets and index map). These maps could be considered as part of the First Military Survey of the Habsburg Empire. These map sheets are unpublished until now: the original sheets are kept in the War Archives of Vienna, a copy in the Academic Library of Bucharest. The second detailed survey and maps were made between 1855 and 1864 at a scale of 1:57,600. The area of this survey and map was only Walachia. The survey was directed by August von Fligely. These maps could be considered as part of the Second Military Survey of the Habsburg Empire. The map was drawn in two versions: the original, Austrian version (drawn between 1856 and 1859) and the copied version by Szathmári Pap Károly (Carol Pop de Satmari) in 1864.
