Braşov Highway on the Economic and Functional Structure of Human Settlements
ROMANIAN REVIEW OF REGIONAL STUDIES, Volume VII, Number 1, 2011 FORECAST FOR THE IMPACT OF BUCHAREST – BRA ŞOV HIGHWAY ON THE ECONOMIC AND FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE 1 OF HUMAN SETTLEMENTS IN ILFOV COUNTY CĂTĂLINA CÂRSTEA 2, FLORENTINA ION 3, PETRONELA NOV ĂCESCU 4 ABSTRACT - One of the most publicized issues concerning the infrastructure of Romania is the Bucharest-Bra şov highway. The long-awaited project aims to streamline the traffic between the Capital and the central part of the country, representing the central area of the Pan - European Road Corridor IV. The length of the highway on the territory of Ilfov County is 31 km, representing 17% of the total length of Bucharest- Bra şov highway. The start of the highway will have strong effects on economic structure and on the way the Bucharest Metropolitan Area will work. We can expect an increase in the disparities between the settlements of Ilfov County. This pattern is also observable on the Bucharest- Ploie şti corridor where, in recent years, much of the Ilfov county's economic activities have migrated to the north, especially along that corridor. Besides economic migration, intense residential migration followed the Bucharest – Ploie şti corridor, residents of the Bucharest itself moving out to the north of Ilfov County. Probably, the future Bucharest – Bra şov highway will lead to an increased suburbanization and periurbanization, this in turn giving way to the crowding of the area by businesses eager to have access to the highway. This project will likely increase the gap between north and south of Ilfov County. In addition to changes that may occur at the county level, changes will also have an impact on the localities themselves since the areas located near the highway will have an economic and demographic growth rate superior to more remote areas.

In Romania almost 34% of its total population are living in metropolitan areas. The paper is aiming to analyse the landscape-related challenges land-use/land- cover changes in the Romanian metropolitan areas in relation with the main factors involved in the patterns of change: demographic, political and natural. Based on the investigation of relevant cartographic supports of the last 20 years, the authors are making use of different GIS methods in order to conduct a series of complex analysis of the spatial-temporal landscape challenges. The paper will mainly focus on four metropolitan areas considered as case-studies: the capital-city (Bucharest) and the three functional metropolitan areas (Oradea, Iaşi and Constanţa), each metropolitan area is facing different patterns and causes of change.

The Lepidoptera of Bucharest and Its Surroundings (Romania)
Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © 30 Décembre Vol. LIV (2) pp. 461–512 «Grigore Antipa» 2011 DOI: 10.2478/v10191-011-0028-9 THE LEPIDOPTERA OF BUCHAREST AND ITS SURROUNDINGS (ROMANIA) LEVENTE SZÉKELY Abstract. This study presents a synthesis of the current knowledge regarding the Lepidoptera fauna of Bucharest and the surrounding areas within a distance up to 50 kilometers around the Romanian capital. Data about the fauna composition are presented: the results of the research work beginning with the end of the 19th century, as well the results of the research work carried out in the last 15 years. The research initiated and done by the author himself, led to the identification of 180 species which were unknown in the past. Even if the natural habitats from this region have undergone through radical changes in the 20th century, the area still preserves a quite rich and interesting Lepidoptera fauna. The forests provide shelter to rich populations of the hawk moth Dolbina elegans A. Bang-Haas, 1912, one of the rarest Sphingidae in Europe, and some other species with high faunistical and zoogeographical value as: Noctua haywardi (Tams, 1926) (it is new record for the Romanian fauna from this area), Catocala dilecta (Hübner, 1808), Tarachidia candefacta (Hübner, [1831]), Chrysodeixis chalcites (Esper, [1789]), Aedia leucomelas (Linnaeus, 1758), and Hecatera cappa (Hübner, [1809]). We also present and discuss the current status of the protected Lepidoptera species from the surroundings of the Romanian capital for the first time. Résumé. Ce travail représente une synthèse des connaissances actuelles concernant la faune de lépidoptères de Bucarest et de ses zones limitrophes sur un rayon de 50 km autour de la capitale de la Roumanie.

LUCRĂRILE SEMINARULUI GEOGRAFIC “DIMITRIE CANTEMIR” NR. 35, 2013 DYNAMICS OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN THE BUCHAREST METROPOLITAIN AREA. ALTERNATIVE TO THE INNER CITY Lilian Cîrnu1 Abstract. La chute du régime communiste en 1989 a conduit à toute une série de changements dans la société roumaine, avec des conséquences également sur les préférences résidentielles des individus. La maison individuelle, vue comme obsolète, signe d‟une ascendance rurale durant la période antérieure, commence d‟être revalorisée, comme un symbole de la réussite sociale et d‟une garantie pour une meilleure qualité de vie par rapport aux grands ensembles collectifs. Cette réorientation correspond à un nouveau type de société qui s‟affirme après 1989, une fois avec le système de production post-fordiste. Dans la zone métropolitaine bucarestoise, ces changements sont particulièrement évidents, se traduisant par un changement radical de paradigme en matière de mobilité résidentielle, en passant d‟une mobilité de type rural-urbain à une essentiellement de type urbain-rural, dans le contexte de l‟apparition du processus de périurbanisation. Ces mouvements de population se reflètent tant dans le bilan migratoire qu‟au niveau des permis de construire ou au niveau des logements récemment bâtis. Les grands gagnants de ces mouvements sont les communes localisées dans la première couronne périurbaine de la capitale et celles qui se trouvent au nord. Ainsi, la ville de Bragadiru connaît une hausse démographique, appuyée surtout sur un solde migratoire, de 117%, alors que Bucarest enregistre une diminution de la population dans la même période de -9%. Dans la période analysée, l‟ampleur de ce phénomène laisse la discussion ouverte sur la perspective d‟un «l'exode urbain bucarestois" avec de gros points d‟interrogation sur la qualité du nouveau tissu urbain qui en résulte.

Site Conditions and Predominant Period of Seismic Motion in the Bucharest Urban Area∗
SITE CONDITIONS AND PREDOMINANT PERIOD OF SEISMIC MOTION IN THE BUCHAREST URBAN AREA∗ NICOLAE MÂNDRESCU, MIRCEA RADULIAN, GHEORGHE MĂRMUREANU National Institute for Earth Physics, P.O. Box MG-2, 077125, Bucharest, Romania Reconsideration of previous information and results allows us to investigate how near- surface geological units of Bucharest area play a role in determining ground motion response in period bands that are of engineering significance. The superficial deposits within the study area are entirely Quaternary. Lithological information has been compiled from geological, geotechnical and hydrogeological boreholes. The predominant periods of oscillation of the subsurface layers over Bucharest territory have calculated values between 0.9 and 1.9 s, increasing from south to north, in correlation with the constant increasing of the thickness of the Quaternary cohesionless deposits. They are accurately matching the results obtained by seismological studies using seismograms of Vrancea moderate- magnitude earthquakes, recorded at the Bucharest seismic station. Key words: predominant period, cohesionless deposits, Bucharest, Vrancea subcrustal earthquakes. 1. INTRODUCTION In the last century two destroying earthquakes hit Bucharest city, in November 10, 1940 (Mw = 7.7, h = 150 km) and March 4, 1977 (Mw = 7.4, h = 94 km). The November 1940 earthquake severely damaged many tall buildings and the new 13- storey reinforced-concrete Carlton hotel, sited in the central zone of the city, collapsed killing 267 people. During the earthquake of March 1977, which is considered the most destructive seismic event that hit the city in modern times, the largest damage affected the tall buildings, six to twelve storey high reinforced- concrete frame structures.
