Study regarding agricultural production from Caras-Severin County

The present paper wishes to present objectively, through the medium of analyze, the situation of agricultural production from Caras-Severin County. Like all over the country, in Caras-Severin County it practices a subsistence agriculture, underperforming, for self-consumption. The lack of association and weak technological equipment, the large number of elderly farmers, does not allow the practice of an efficient and competitive agriculture. Even if Caras-Severin County is the third as largest on the country, in terms of agricultural area, this being only 396.915 ha, occupies only 13th place thanks to the relief mostly mountainous. From the data presented in this article it can be seen that the agricultural production of Caras-Severin County has registered an upward trend in the 2010-2013 period, after which its level decreased in the year 2014 due to the decrease of agricultural production animal and vegetable, but it can notice an increase of agricultural services in this year

The usage of the logical framework method in establishing the projects for rural communities’ development

This study tries to highlight the importance of the logical framework method for the planning process of the projects and implicitly the role of the projects for the rural communities’ development. For the study and analysis we selected Ghizela commune from the North – Eastern part of Timis county. The entire Romanian rural space and the analyzed rural community faces infrastructural, demographic and mainly economical problems, the agriculture is the main source of income for the members of this community. Thus, by this study we would like to solve one of the problems this community is facing: the lack of incomes from alternative activities, a project based on the natural, human, cultural and historical resources which can be found in Ghizela commune. Also the proposed project is meant to encourage and to stimulate the local initiatives, taking into consideration that the members of the community don’t have initiatives in starting small rural businesses which could provide incomes from other activities. The allocated budget is small because the project is based mainly on the involvement of the community members so that they can gain confidence in their own forces. The project is based on practicing tourism, especially agro-tourism, at a smaller level because the tourists are children from the schools from Timisoara. In fact, by this project we try to attract children from schools to the rural environment in order to know the rural life with all its aspects, during this period they will perform both didactic and leisure activities. The local farms will be involved in the project; they will provide accommodation and meal for the “small tourists”, offering natural fresh products produced in their own farm

Aspects regarding the potential socio-economic hilly areas of the Timis county

Timis County’s hilly area is located at a junction of influences that could be fructified in its benefit, influences that are carried out by some of the important cities in the county, like Timisoara and Lugoj, cities that are located at relatively small distances from the studied communes. In the present paper, the authors achieve a diagnosis analysis of Timis County’s hilly area, aiming to point out its socioeconomical potential. The studied area is formed from 27 admnistriative units (communes, cities), which occupy 30.4% of Timis County’s total surface and where 72.186 inhabitants live, this representing 10.6% of Timis County’s population. From an economical point of view, like the entire rural space, the hilly area of Timis County is featured by a lack of diversity in economical activities, which determines an excessive dependency on agriculture, a diminished economical efficiency of agricultural activities, a defective way of exploiting the land and turning to profit agricultural products. In terms of infrastructure, concerning urbanistic facilities, the studied area is slightly incondite, considering the fact that many communes have known a rapid development, due to acces to European funds and approaching urban centres, which offerend them the oportunity to become a habitat for a large part of the city inhabitants
