The river Tisa is the most important tributary of the Danube on its left side. The work has been initiated in the shape of a project launched and financed by the Ministry of Transport, Building and Tourism and now taken over also by the Ministry of Development, Public Works and Housing. It thus represents an overview of the existing situation from the point of view of nature, society, economy, infrastructure and environment in the most extensive (more than 71,000 km 2) and most inhabited (more than 5 million inhabitants) sector of the Tisa Basin, the others belonging to Hungary, Ukraine, Slovakia and Serbia. The researches performed regarding the phenomenology of the Romanian Tisa Basin brought into relief the participation of a set of strictly hierarchical external and internal factors which define the features of the territorial system. Their action, direct or indirect, general or sectorial, local or regional, materialized in the individualization of a spatial entity with peculiar features, some of them highly original or even unique. The political, administrative, economic, social or environmental factors are added to the natural ones in order to define not just the structure and typology of the system, but rather its dynamics and functional characteristics. The analysis focused mainly on the structure of the territorial system, endeavouring a “radiography” of its present state. It started from the premises of its three views: the Tisa Basin as a hydrological system, the Tisa Basin as an integrated natural system and the Tisa Basin as an ecological system. The social aspects, the settlement systems, the territorial technical infrastructure, the economy, the cross-border relations (the “opening” of the system towards the neighbouring spatial entities) and the tendencies concerning its future evolution have been incorporated within this systemic framework. The substance of this first approach, meant to shed light on structures, functions and shortcomings, is fully recognizable in the SWOT analysis proposed hereby. The strengths of the Romanian sector of the Tisa Basin result from the variety of natural and human landscapes, the rich resources of the soil and subsoil, the consistency of the human resources on the background of a multicultural region generating diversity, the economic potential and the optimal geographical location. There are also a series of weaknesses, such as natural hazards, economic and social disparities, a low level of the technical infrastructure of the territory, processes of demographical risk (the numerical decrease and aging of the population among them) and critical environmental issues. The territorial diagnosis precedes, as a sine qua non condition, the second major stage in approaching the Tisa Basin - the drawing up of the economic and social development strategy . On its account, specific projects would be imagined in a later stage, regarding the development of economic branches (industry, agriculture, tourism), society (education, health, culture, religion), infrastructure (transport networks, water, energy or gas supply networks, telecommunications) or environment (reconstruction, protection or conservation of the environment). At present, the scientific approach resembles a puzzle whose main segments, comprising the analyses performed apart at the level of each country, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine and Serbia, must be imbricated, associated and fitted so that they may provide the integrated image of the whole hydrographical basin of the river concerned. Fruit of the combined work of two teams of very experienced researchers from Romania, one from the Faculty of Geography of the “Babe ş-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca, grouped in the Centre for Regional Geography, and the other from the National Institute of Research-Development for Urban and Regional Planning – URBANPROIECT Bucharest, this project, due to its remarkable size and complexity, and also its international proportions, represents a true test area for the 5 Pompei Cocean & Adriana Vartanoff - Coordinators application and materialization of the newest concepts and paradigms of regional and territorial planning. Because of its size and its complex desiderata, it takes place among the most daring accomplishments of this type in the European Union. 6 Synthetical Approach to the Romanian Tisa Basin SYNTHETICAL APPROACH TO THE ROMANIAN TISA BASIN The Romanian basin of the Tisa River extends over an area of about 71,000 km², equivalent with that of Belgium and Holland taken together, and represents over 60 % out of the total extension of the entire hydrographic system. It includes in its perimeter 13 counties (Alba, Arad, Bihor, BistriŃa- Năsăud, Cluj, Harghita (partially), Hunedoara, Maramureş, Mure ş, Satu Mare, S ălaj, Sibiu and Timi ş (the last two only partially). Its territory is also included into three development regions (North-West, Centre and West) and three Euroregions (the Carpathian Euroregion, the Danube-Cri ş–Mure ş-Tisa Euroregion and Bihor – Hajdú-Bihar Euroregion). The population afferent to the Romanian basin of the Tisa River exceeds 5 million inhabitants. 1. THE PECULIARITIES OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT The special complexity of the natural and environmental phenomena and processes from the analyzed basin imposes the necessity

  • The Incentive Components of the Tourist Offer from the Romanian Tisa Basin – Major Markers of the Regional Tourist Development Strategy
    ROMANIAN REVIEW OF REGIONAL STUDIES, Volume VI, Number 2, 2010 THE INCENTIVE COMPONENTS OF THE TOURIST OFFER FROM THE ROMANIAN TISA BASIN – MAJOR MARKERS OF THE REGIONAL TOURIST DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY ŞTEFAN DEZSI 1, NICOLAE CIANG Ă 2, JANOS TALPAS 3 ABSTRACT – This paper makes a thoroughly analysis of the main factors which stimulate and define the tourism in the Tisa River basin in concerning both the primary touristic offer (the natural and the anthropic frame) and the infra-structural components, in order to identify the main opportunities of tourism development that are to be found as well as to prefigure the direction of this field’s development, which points out a real potential from this point of view. Consequently, after a preliminary identification of the whole range of tourist resources that are implied or can be implied in making the attractive endowment of the analysed region, we establish the main planning priorities, so that – on this basis – to indicate the main types of tourism and the possible tourist arrangements whose practising and, respectively, achievement, would permit the plenary integration of the Tisa River basin into the regional, national, and international tourist circuits. Keywords: tourist resources, tourism prospective research, attractiveness, assessment, tourist arrangements, types and forms of tourism, strategic coordinates, development strategies INTRODUCTION The overlapped geographical space of the Romanian Tisa river basin – integrating entirely ten counties (Alba, Arad, Bihor, Bistri Ńa-Năsăud, Cluj, Hunedoara, Maramure ş, Mure ş, S ălaj, Satu Mare) and partially other three counties (Harghita, Sibiu and Timis) - has enough arguments from a tourist point of view, as well for the integration into the national tourism, for the involvement in the global – European international tourism, and also for attracting tourist flows from the neighbouring countries (Hungary, Ukraine and even Serbia), as well as from the whole Europe.

    Scoping study: applicability of PIR systems to mine waters in Eastern and Southern Europe 151 27 SCOPING STUDY: APPLICABILITY OF PIR SYSTEMS TO MINE WATERS IN EASTERN AND SOUTHERN EUROPE 27.1 Project: PIRAMID C. Wolkersdorfer1, A. Hasche1, J. Tschapek1, M. Veselič2, M. Leblanc3 1University Freiberg, Germany 2Institute for Mining, Geotechnology and Environment, Slovenia 3Université Montpellier, France 27.2 Executive Summary Mining in Europe has great influence of the environment. A significant problem in many EU Member States and EU candidate countries is the long-term water pollution from abandoned mines and associated industrial sites. Sources of water pollution are e.g. pyrite oxidation, metal leaching by surface water or rain and leaching of residual process chemicals in the tailings. In order to reach today’s ecological standards polluted mine water needs to be treated in technical water treatment systems (conventional method). Water treatment will be necessary for a long time, consequently conventional methods will not be economically efficient. Key objectives of PIRAMID are to draw developments of passive, ecologically-friendly in-situ remedial methods for mining waters together and to support the development of new tech- niques and innovations in order to apply such technologies to a variety of of polluted mine waters. This report gives an overview of mine water problems in selected EU Member States and Accession States in Eastern and Southern Europe and assesses the potential applicability of passive treatment methods and where such methods are already applied. For most existing mining sites in the reviewed countries the applicability of passive treatment methods is possible. Furthermore, in France, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic ex- periences with different passive treatment methods e.g.

  • Structural Arguments in the Analysis and Conservation of Some Romanesque Churches in Romania
    Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions, New Delhi 2006 P.B. Lourenço, P. Roca, C. Modena, S. Agrawal (Eds.) Structural Arguments in the Analysis and Conservation of Some Romanesque Churches in Romania L. Roşiu University “Politehnica” of Timişoara, Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture, Timişoara, Romania ABSTRACT: One of the most interesting categories of historical monuments in Romania is that of the early medieval churches. However much studied, their evolutions still have been incom- pletely clarified. The structural analysis can offer some answers in the controversy about their history, discovering the patterns and specific features. From the prototypes of the Romanesque churches, there were chosen to be analysed the most significant cases of small single nave churches from the 13th century, trying to emphasize the importance of the structural analysis for their evolutions and for the conservation solutions. 1 STRUCTURAL FEATURES AS HISTORICAL RESEARCH ELEMENTS 1.1 Importance of structural analysis Archaeology and sometimes ancient authors’ writings or stylistic analyses are often sources of information about the evolution of a historical monument. Archaeology is considered an indis- pensable way, especially in dating the cultural heritage and discovering how it was transformed. It also decodes the architectural form, their migration and influences, but can not explain them. Different skilled domains may complete the knowledge in order to understand the monuments and to ground their protection. One of them is the structural study, which tries to find the constructive thinking and how it has generated a certain architectural form. It also can help to solve some of the central problems of any study, like that of the genesis and of the influences.

Vilmos Tánczos: Hungarians in Moldavia Original title: „Hányan vannak a moldvai csángók?” Published in Magyar Kisebbség 1–2 (7–8), 1997 (III), pp. 370–390. Translation by Miklós Zeidler Linguistic editing by Rachel Orbell Sponsored by the Illyés Foundation Editors László Diószegi Nándor Bárdi András Gyertyánfy ISBN 963 03 4942 6 ISSN 1418-6802 Teleki László Foundation H-1125 Budapest, Szilágyi Erzsébet fasor 22/c. 1. The Term „Csángó” Csángó is the official designation as well as the popular name for Hungarians living in Moldavia. (Ethnic Hungarians living in the Ghimes/Gyimes Pass and in Sacele/Hétfalu near Brasov are also called Csángós, and the term is sometimes used even for those Szeklers who, having migrated eastwards to Bukovina in the late 18th century, were later resettled in the Carpathian Basin.) The etymology of the name of this ethnic group reveals an interesting detail in the history of the Csángós: according to a widespread, yet never fully verified hypothesis, the word Csángó derives from the verb csang/csáng (i. e. to wander, stroll, ramble, rove etc.) and thus the name of this ethnic group clearly refers to the migratory, colonising character of the Csángós. (BENKŐ 1990 p. 6., GUNDA 1988 p. 12–13., SZABÓ T. 1981 p. 520.) The Moldavian Hungarians themselves do not constitute a homogeneous group, either historically or linguistic–ethnographically. The majority of researchers disagree with the use of the term Csángó as a general designation for them, preferring to differentiate between the earlier Moldavian Hungarians who were settled there in the Middle Ages, and the fleeing Szeklers who arrived in the 17th–19th centuries (most of whom arrived at the end of the 18th century).

Geography Atlantean and satellite maps of eastern Europe show the topography of Transylvania as a clearly definable geographic region. It is comparable with a natural fortress, a mountainous region almost completely barrier-like enclosed by the East and South Carpathians and the Transylvanian West Mountains, sheltering the Transylvanian Depression in the centre. This Transylvanian Basin or Plateau is partitioned by three rivers, the Mures, Olsul and Somesu (Mieresch, Alt/Olt, Somesch), all tributaries of the Danube.

Beim ersten kommt nur der Legionsname vor, beim zweiten gibt es daneben auch gewisse Personennamen, die als Namen der Leiter der Ziegeleien betrachtet werden. Unter diesen kommen mindestens drei von Zivilisten vor, die also zu Lokalwerkstätten der canabae gehören. Die bislang erschienenen drei Namen Iulius Serenus, Terentianus, P. Clodius... auf Baumaterialien und auf bestimmten Gegenständen heben das hervor. Von diesen Beispielen ausgehend wurde die Ansicht vertreten, dass in den Werkstätten Baumaterialien aus Lehm auf Bestellung der Behörden oder der Armee für öffentliche Zwecke oder für das Militär hergestellt wurden. Man kann zum ersten Mal feststellen, dass diese bedeutende wirtschaftliche Tätigkeit in den Lagerdörfern der Legion XIII Gemina von Apulum stattfand, und zwar in den privaten Ziegeleien, die sowohl für die Armee als auch für den privaten Bereich gearbeitet haben. Der bedarf an Baumaterialien für die Errichtung der öffentlichen oder militärische Bauten in den neuen Siedlungen Dakiens haben die Behörden dazu veranlasst, sich an private Unternehmer zu wenden. Die keramischen Baumaterialien für die Provinz wurden in den canabae von Apulum hergestellt. Weder die Ausmaße und der Umfang dieser Produktion noch deren Verbreitung auf dem Gebiet der Provinz können allerdings ganz erfasst werden. Die Produktion wurde vermutlich von der Legion XIII Gemina überwacht, von einem magister figlinae oder –arum, wie zum Beispiel Aurelius Godes.
