DYSFUNCTIONS OF DRINKING WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS AND SEWERAGE SYSTEMS IN THE LAND OF DORNA

Dysfunctions of drinking water supply systems and sewerage systems in the Land of Dorna. The aim of the present article is to study the drinking water supply systems and sewerage systems in the Land of Dorna. Following the analysis I noticed the uneven distribution of drinking water supply systems and sewerage systems, so the most developed axis of this view is the main axis that is oriented V-E. This axis connects the Land of Dorna with the neighboring regions, those of Transylvania, Maramureş and Moldova. The final part of the study consists of a series of proposed measures for the revitalization of the existing dysfunctions in the territory and to revive the repulsive areas (the north of the Land of Dorna and the northern part of the Călimani Mountains)

CLIMATE AND WEATHER INFLUENCE OVER THE TOURIST SECTOR IN THE LAND OF DORNA

The Land of Dorna represents a region with a climate specific to intermountain depressions and mountain areas by its geographic position, the characteristics of active subjacent surfaces and of dominant air-masses,. Climatic factors and phenomena play an important part in outlining the whole features of the territorial system and development of some particular tourist activities in this geographic region. The Land of Dorna has a lot of natural and anthropic resources that have taken many different shapes under the influence of some internal and external elements over the time. Therefore, our main goal is to identify and analyze the way in which climate and weather work on tourist activities in this part of the country

The Development of a Decision Support System for Wellbeing in the Danube River Basin

The aims of the project are to develop a decision-making support tool – DeWOS; and to establish a permanent users network using a spin-off company, which will enable international cooperation and implementation of the software. DeWOS will encompass all existing relevant data on factors affecting wellbeing: environmental (water, air, soil, food quality and quantity), social-demographic (education, prosperity, migration, tourism and mobility, health services, safety) and economic factors (employment, industry, agriculture). The tool will provide a reliable valuation of the degree of wellbeing in the Danube River Basin enabling policy makers (from the municipality to the national level) and other stakeholders to assess the current wellbeing situation and simulate possible scenarios along with the feasibility and impacts of possible interventions

The Dynamic of Human Resources in the Land of Dorna (Ţara Dornelor)

AbstractProblem StatementHuman resource represents one of the most important and dynamic component of the Land of Dorna territorial system. It provides specific information's about the evolution of the system in a certain period of time and also the future directions of development. Therefore, to remedy certain dysfunctions that occurred in the system it is important to determine the factors which influenced the evolutionary trends of this component.Purpose of StudyThe aim of the current study follows two directions: 1. to determinate the main causes leading to the geodemographic changes occurred in the last years in the region; 2. which is the role of the place attachment of the community in terms of current geodemographic phenomena's?MethodsFor the first part of the study we conducted from a comparative perspective a secondary analysis using data available from the National Institute of Statistics. In the second part we appealed to the analysis and interpretation of data provided by the 53 respondents that were questioned. The questionnaire covers mainly questions on the migration phenomenon and place attachment.ResultsThe values of the calculated indicators for the Land of Dorna revealed that they are below the average values of Suceava County. This aspect reinforces the balance status of the region in terms of geodemographic phenomena's. Another issue identified is the interrelationship between the place attachment of the population and their disponibility to emigrate.Conclusions and RecommendationsThe analysis of the geodemographic indicators revealed a number of atypical elements comparative for the current demographic situation in Romania. Nevertheless the second part of the study has a limitation that deserves appropriate comments. The sample size reduces the ability to generalize the findings. Repeating the current study with larger samples and on other lands too may provide more accuracy

Dysfunctions Within Spatial Microsystems. Case Study: Chinteni Commune

This paper presents the main dysfunctions encountered in a microsystem, in this case, the one of Chinteni Commune, as well as the measures proposed for the revitalization of the analyzed area and the outlining of a functional space of reduced dimensions. The identification and the analysis of the dysfunctions were realized based on several differentiated indicators, in order to be able to apprehend, as well as possible, the reality of the territory. The encountered dysfunctions were classified into four groups: dysfunctions of the natural environment, dysfunctions of the human resource and of the settlement, economic dysfunctions and dysfunctions related to infrastructure. The conclusions have proved the necessity of implementing several solutions that will lead to a desirable state of the microsystem of Chinteni Commune

The Influence of Decision Makers in the Evolution of the Built Heritage in the Land of Dorna

The present paper aims to describe the role that decision makers and inhabitants have in the evolution of the built heritage from the regional system of the Land of Dorna. In order to achieve this goal I analyzed and systematized all data and information relevant for this study. Data from different sources provided by literature and from the field research led to the identification of the local characteristics of the regional system. The analysis has revealed a number of inconsistencies between an optimal situation of a territorial system and the current state of the Land of Dorna system in which a number of monuments lie in an advanced state of decay. The improper management of the built heritage of the Land of Dorna by the local actors has led to a series of territorial dysfunctions. The conclusions of this paper have highlighted the urgent need to implement a series of measures aimed to revitalize the built heritage in the Land of Dorna

THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN TERRITORY. CASE STUDY: DRINKING WATER SUPPLY IN DÂNGĂU MARE, CLUJ COUNTY

The importance of technical infrastructure in territory. Case study: drinking water supply in Dângău Mare, Cluj County. Water represents an important element in life. Accessibility, water quantity and quality show the standard of living of one community. This article presents a case study, the one of water supply in Dângău Mare from Cluj County. The purpose of this analysis is to reveal the benefits of applying some measures regarding water supply in the rural area, as well as the dysfunction abilities which derive from a bad management (eg. lack of sewage system). Dângău Mare lies near the Gilău Mountains and possesses important and rich resources of surface and underground waters varying under qualitative ratio. The hydrological resources of Dângău Mare are made up of river/rivulet networks (Mireş, Blidaru, Agârbiciu), phreatic waters and natural springs. The identification and delimitation of the Dângău Mare territory represents the first stage of this study, followed by the consultation of bibliographic and cartographic sources, field surveys, to obtain the qualitative and quantitative pieces of information. The second stage consists in the analyzation and classification of information, the integrated study of phenomena and elaboration of cartographic models using GIS. At the end of this study we have made the SWOT analysis to emphasize the characteristics of favourability, the anomalies and the opportunities to improve and develop the territory of Dângău Mare from Cluj County
