  • A Network Analysis of Sibiu County, Romania ⇑ Cristina-Nicol Grama A,1, Rodolfo Baggio B, a University of Applied Sciences, Austria B Bocconi University, Italy
    Research Notes / Annals of Tourism Research 47 (2014) 77–95 89 A network analysis of Sibiu County, Romania ⇑ Cristina-Nicol Grama a,1, Rodolfo Baggio b, a University of Applied Sciences, Austria b Bocconi University, Italy Introduction Modern network analysis methods are increasingly used in tourism studies and have shown to be able to provide scholars and practitioners with interesting outcomes. Nonetheless, the availability of investigations conducted at a broad scale on tourism destinations is still limited thus restraining our ability to understand the mechanisms that underlie the formation and the evolution of these complex adaptive systems. With this research note we aim at contributing to the field by augmenting the cat- alogue of tourism destination network studies and present the preliminary results of an investigation conducted in the county of Sibiu, a renowned Romanian destination. The data Sibiu county lies in the heart of Romania (270 km from Bucharest) in the historical region of Tran- sylvania. In 2007, Sibiu has been the European Capital of Culture (together with Luxembourg). The destination accounts for roughly 250 000 arrivals and 460 000 overnight stays. Sibiu has a manage- ment organisation (AJTS) which is a public-private partnership in charge of promoting and marketing the county as a destination, and working in close collaboration with the local government. The tourism infrastructure is well developed and counts about 500 establishments providing more than 6000 rooms (all data and a thorough description in Richards & Rotariu, 2011). The data for the network analysis were collected by using a number of publicly available docu- ments (see Baggio, Scott, & Cooper, 2010 for details) complemented by a survey conducted on 551 operators (179 questionnaires were returned) aimed at validating the data collected and evaluating type and intensity of the relationships.

  • From Meseberg to Sibiu Four Paths to European ‚Weltpolitikfähigkeit’
    POLICY PAPER 15 NOVEMBER 2018 #WELTPOLITIKFÄHIGKEIT #MESEBERG #CFSP FROM MESEBERG TO SIBIU FOUR PATHS TO EUROPEAN ‚WELTPOLITIKFÄHIGKEIT’ Executive summary ▪ NICOLE KOENIG The EU has to become more ‘weltpolitikfähig’: it has to be able to play a role, as a Union, in Deputy Director, shaping global affairs. This was one of the key messages of Juncker’s 2018 State of the Union Jacques Delors Institute speech as well as the Franco-German Meseberg Declaration. The question is of course: how? Berlin This new label cannot conceal the fact that the EU’s Weltpolitikfähigkeit is confronted by a trilem- ma of three partly conflicting objectives: internal legitimacy, efficiency/speed, and effectiveness. This policy paper explores four paths towards greater Weltpolitikfähigkeit proposed by the Meseberg Declaration: It questions to what extent Paris and Berlin are truly on the same page and how these proposals interact with the trilemma identified above. 1. An extension of qualified majority voting The extension of qualified majority voting to sub-areas (passerelle clause) or selected deci- sions (enabling clause) within the realm of the Common Foreign and Security Policy aims at enhancing the EU’s efficiency and effectiveness. However, the debate is likely to run into political blockades, as member states will point to a lack of legitimacy and cling on to their national sovereignty. 2. An EU Security Council There is general Franco-German agreement on such a format but divergence on the details. There could be a less ambitious reform whereby the European Council would meet yearly in the format of a European Security Council. Its impact on efficiency and effectiveness would, however, be limited.

The tool used is the anxiety, STAI, UPU state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI). The results show an increase in the level of state anxiety at the same SMURD, dental time with the increase of the education level, while the level of trait anxiety is slightly lower in those with emergency room higher education than the rest. In males, the level of state anxiety regarding the dental interventions and the level of trait anxiety was significantly associated with the age of the respondents. State anxiety scores regarding dental interventions have positively associated with anxiety scores as a personal trait.

Tourism Climate Index analysis in Romania’s big cities Adina-Eliza Croitoru (1), Vasile Zotic (2), Adina-Viorica Rus (3), Diana-Elena Alexandru (2), Stefana Banc (4), Andreea-Sabina Scripca (4), and Razvan Chertes (5) (1) Babes-Bolyai University, Faculty of Geography, Department of Physical and Technical Geography, Cluj-Napoca, Romania., (2) Babes-Bolyai University, Faculty of Geography, Department of Human Geography and Tourism, Cluj-Napoca, Romania., (3) Babes-Bolyai University, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Department of Political Economy, Cluj-Napoca, Romania., (4) Babes-Bolyai University , Faculty of Geography , Doctoral School of Geography, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, (5) Babes-Bolyai University, Faculty of Geography, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Tourism is one of the most dynamic economic sectors in the Romanian economy. Cultural and event-related tourism appear to be the most important sub-sectors, with the strongest development, in the urban area. This study is focused on the detection of the favourable season for open air tourism in 10 of the most populated cities in Romania, Botosani, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Constanta, Craiova, Galati, Iasi, Oradea, Sibiu, and Timisoara. The climate conditions were assessed by using modified tourism climate index, initially developed by Z. Mieczkowski (1985) at a temporal scale of 10 days, over a period on 56 years (1961-2016). Mean values of temperature, relative humidity and wind speed (10 m), total daily precipitation and sunshine, as well as maximum temperature, minimum relative humidity, and wind speed at 1.2 m hight were used for calculation.
