Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Since the post-socialism breakdown, the post-90 Romanian capitalist economy fuelled by chaotic interventions in local urban restructuring changed the urban functionality, the local ways of life of the locals and the inner-urban landscapes of the cities and towns regardless of their size, rank or functionality. Against such a background, this article examines the post-communist changes in the town of Buzias, emphasizing both the consequences of the local transition to a market economy and the implications of the local urban restructuring process. Using quantitative and qualitative research, the article explains the local attributes of Buziaş post-90 redefining and the spatial results of economic restructuring. From emblematic tourism economies under the earlier capitalism, and with important touristic development under the state-socialist governance, since 1990 Buziaş faced with major problems at the local scale, with its local economic culture being altered. These issues are important in designing further proper interventions in local development, pushing out the local development strategies beyond theories, indifference, and the local community neglecting
