The Role of Tourist Resources in Determining a Typology of Support-Local Administrative Territorial Units (Latus) with Resorts in Romania
Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2014, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
The tourist resorts in Romania have experienced quantitative and qualitative changes, especially after 1990. After a period of maximum development specific to the 70’s, when their number was over 130, in 2006, by applying a new law referring to the qualitative aspect, their number decreased considerably to 47 resorts of national interest and 49 of local interest. Our purpose, by means of this study, is to accomplish an analysis at the level of support administrative territorial units (LATUs) where there are tourist resorts, and a quantitative/qualitative interpretation of the role of natural and anthropic tourist resources in defining tourist functionality of a territorial system of this type. The accreditation of the endeavor from scientific point of view starts from the use of a specific data base existing in the Spatial Planning of the National Territory (SPNT)–section VI Tourist Zone4, and from the combination of a certified methodology in the specialty literature with a pattern proposed in this study. Through the weighting of values on categories of elements and through comparative analysis we have obtained a typology of LATUs which we propose as a useful instrument in elaborating strategies to plan and develop the territory under the form of functional tourist territorial systems of tourist resort type.
