  • The Evolution of the Road Network on the Current Territory of the Republic of Moldova in the Period 1918-1940 Vitalie Mamot
    ECOTERRA - Journal of Environmental Research and Protection The evolution of the road network on the current territory of the Republic of Moldova in the period 1918-1940 Vitalie Mamot Tiraspol State University, Chișinău, Republic of Moldova. Corresponding author: V. Mamot, [email protected] Abstract. In the history of the Republic of Moldova, the roads were one of the main premises which determined, to a large extent, the socio-economic development of the territory and of the population, who lived here. At the beginning, the roads represented natural itineraries of plains or valleys, in the riverbeds which missed any kind of arrangement. These itineraries were formed and shaped over a long historical period. Changes in the itinerary directions and contents occurred only in case of the geographical landscape modifications or in case of some changes of attraction poles in the network of human settlements under the influence of different natural, economic, social and military factors. The purpose of the article is to restore and analyse the evolution of the road network on the current territory of the Republic of Moldova in the interwar period (1918-1940), when the current territory of the Republic of Moldova was found within Greater Romania. Key Words: road network, roads, road transport, counties. Introduction. The evolution of the transport network is closely dependent on the influence of external and internal factors (Тархов 2005). The first category is attributed to the political and geographical factors (change of state borders, military actions etc.); economic and geographic (the network of human settlements, the direction and configuration of the main transport flows, the degree and character of the economic valorisation of the territory etc.); economic growth or economic crisis; the diffusion of technological innovations in the field of transport; physical and geographical factors.

The aim of the research is to reconstruct the events that occurred in a very complex and equally controversial period in the history of Cahul county –the establishment of the soviet occupation regime in summer 1940. In order to elucidate the subject, was used the method of content analysis of the official documents drawn up by the competent authorities of the “Lower Danube” Land, contained in the archive funds. A reliable source of information on the early days of soviet occupation is the refugees’ testimonies from Bessarabia.

  • STUDY of DRINKING WATER QUALITY in CAHUL DISTRICT Veronica Filimon1*, Cristina Obreja1, Simona Butan2
    STUDY OF DRINKING WATER QUALITY IN CAHUL DISTRICT Veronica Filimon1*, Cristina Obreja1, Simona Butan2 1”Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati, Cross-Border Faculty, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008, Galati, Romania 2”Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati, Faculty of Sciences and Environment, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008, Galati, Romania * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Groundwater is the main source of drinking water in the Republic of Moldova for the entire rural population and 30% of the urban population (65% of the total population of the country). In this study, the quality of drinking water from Cahul District (The Republic of Moldova) was investigated. Various water samples were collected from wells of rural localities, namely, Taraclia de Salcie, Doina, Huluboaia, Al.I. Cuza, having as reference the water from the central network of Cahul. Organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological analysis were performed. The analyzed water samples have no large deviations from the standards, except of the water from the village of Al.I. Cuza. This situation is very serious, because for a part of the population of Al.I.Cuza, this well is the only source of water and there is a possibility that some habitans use it as drinking water. In the future, our main goal is to perform the analysis of several water samples in Cahul County, in order to identify the suitable drinking water sources. Introductions The supply of drinking water is a major problem for rural localities in the Republic of Moldova. The large urban localities and some surrounding villages are supplied centrally with water from the river Nistru and the Prut, but in rural areas, where 60% of the population is located, water from groundwater and deep water is supplied for drinking purpose.

  • Mapping Cultural Hallmarks Through Names, Surnames and Orthodoxy
    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2017 2017, Vol. 4, No. 2, 53-64 ISSN: 2149-1291 Gagauzian onomastics: Mapping cultural hallmarks through names, surnames and Orthodoxy MitranIlie Iulian1 Doctoral School of Sociology, University of Bucharest Gagauzian onomastics presents us an intrequit structure which is characterized by various lingusitic layers that overlap, or at times, even blend in with each other. Unlike other Turcik groups, the Gagauzians pride themselves with their strong commitment to the Orthodox Church. Lexical layering is a defining characteristic of Gagauzian onomastics.As a result, the names and surnames that are found among these people are were, to a certain exctent, transfered from the those groups that they heavly interacted with until the present. The layered layout of Gagauzian onomastics refects the different stage of the coming into being of this peoples, taking this in to consideration, it is important to note that certain surnames are of older date than others, this being the case of those that are of Greek origin. Nowadays, in Moldova, the state with the largest Gagauzian communities, first names are of Russian origin, and are directliany linked to strong russofilia that is present within Gagauz communities beginning with the second falf of the last century.The data that was used for this paper was collected from various soruces – scientific papers, journals, annals etc. Within this paper we are attempting to highlight the conservative character of Gagauzian name-giving practices and the way in which this corelates to the virtues that are central to these peoples. Keywords; Mapping cultural hallmarks, Gagauzian onomastics, Orthodoxy, and Turcik groups From Cavarna to the desolate plains of Budjak: Key-events that shaped Gagauzian history and culture Just a few years ago, Congaz, a settlement in southern Moldova, was roomered to be benefinitng from a series of privileges, which were made possible through the good will of some high-ranking politicians from Kishinev.
