ETHNICAL MINORITIES IN THE ROMANIAN SECTOR OF DOBROGEA
Journal Title: Revue Roumaine de Géographie/Romanian Journal of Geography - Year 2018, Vol 62, Issue 2
Abstract
The evolution of ethnical minority communities in the Romanian sector of Dobrogea (the counties of Tulcea and Constanţa) after the year 1990 is discussed based on the 1992, 2002 and 2011 census data. The analysis focusses on the structure, evolution and territorial distribution of each ethnical community at regional, county and settlement level and the changes experienced in their ethnical structure following the collapse of the communist political system and the increasing globalizing fluxes. Finally, the ethnical diversity index is calculated at locality level. The presence of ethnical minorities in Romania, with highlight on the study region, is the outcome of a lasting historical evolution of good co-habitation relations between the local majority and the newcomers, devoid of inter-ethnical conflicts. Dobrogea’s ethnical communities would mingle, tolerating one another, borrowing one another’s life-style, a reality that has in time developed a unique co-habilitation pattern known as the Dobrogean inter-ethnical model.
