SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS CASE STUDY: TÂRGU OCNA TOWN
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2010, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Widely used, in a variety of forms, in decisional documents or in national and international scientific papers, the indicators of urban development stay simple attempts of quantification, estimation and standardisation of extremely dynamic and complex realities, thus they cannot offer an integrative image on the town, of its status and functional needs. On different scales of analysis can be identified and calculated indicators that are adapted of some specific local realities. Târgu Ocna town has a privileged position within the Trotuş River Basin, but also sundry contrasting features of the morphological and socio-economic structures that represent it and that hamper, sometimes, a balanced development of the urban body. The proposed indicators have only an orientative aim and a generally character, whenever, when analysed at from an evolutive and comparative point of view at the level of spatial planning where applied, they can become an efficient instrument in the decision making process at local level.
