Summary

Introduction

The main aim of the study is to analyze the natural dynamics of the population of the cities located in the Eastern Carpathians. 43 cities are located in this group of Romanian Carpathians (fig. 1). The main aim of the study is to analyze the natural dynamics of the population of the cities located in the Eastern Carpathians. 43 cities are located in this group of Romanian Carpathians The natural dynamics were analyzed using three demographic indicators: birth rate, mortality rate and the MĂDĂLIN-SEBASTIAN LUNG, GABRIELA-ALINA MUREȘAN rate of natural increase. The population has become a research topic for several fields (geography, history, sociology). Historians have analyzed the population in terms of demographic history with connections to different political and administrative causes (Muntean, 2001; Pădurean, 2001; Holom, 2009; Ghiță, 2011). Sociological studies on the population were concerned with the human communities as a whole (Buțiu, 2004; Radu, 2014)
