POST-COMMUNIST DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN ROMANIAN MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES. CASE STUDY: THE POIANA RUSCĂ MOUNTAINS
Journal Title: Revue Roumaine de Géographie/Romanian Journal of Geography - Year 2017, Vol 61, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the main demography-related problems in Romania, aggravated in mountain areas, is population decline, associated with demographic aging, out-migration of adult population, low living standards, etc. The Poiana Ruscă Mountains is one of the Romanian areas representative of this demographic phenomenon. The paper is focused on the analysis of post-socialist demographic trends (since 1992), based on which a demographic projection of the community in the area was produced. An intense and continuously downward demographic trend was observed in a number of settlements and, in a smaller degree, stagnation or a slightly upward demographic trend in other settlements. We conclude that in the absence of concrete housing policies, the number of abandoned villages will be increasingly higher and more settlements will become extinct; hence, other derived negative effects.
