Population - A Critical Factor in the Formation of the Regional System of the Land of the Moţi
Journal Title: Romanian Review of Regional Studies - Year 2009, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
“The Land of the Moţi” is a regional geographical entity where the impact of the anthropic component is essential. If, for a long period, the population has been a cohesion factor in the birth of this regional system, at present, by means of the negative features of the demographical indicators, the population stands out by inducing several elements of high risk. The massive emigration of the population, especially from the areas of high altitude, the gentrification process, the low degree of economic development, are all serious problems which must be on the agenda of the decision-making political factors.
