Polycentricity functional analysis of the Romanian counties
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Statistica - Year 2016, Vol 64, Issue 6
Abstract
The development of polycentricity at the national level involves the balanced development of network of settlements and the achievement of a harmonious relationship between settlement and territory based on principles of sustainable development, internal balance, the opening towards the exterior, and the exploitation of the exiting potential, functional complementarity and the growth of local autonomy. For this reason, the assessment of polycentricity at the county level is extremely important. The methodology in assessing the degree of polycentricity at NUTS 3 level consists in identifying certain domains significant for the characterization of polycentricity and some relevant indicators within such domains and then, after transformation indicators’ values into scores, it consists in calculating some composite indicators corresponding to the domains and polycentricity. The analysis of these findings leads to some interesting conclusions, necessary for the formulation of some local, regional and national development policies.
