Rural development networks in the North-Eastern region of Romania

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the theoretical fundaments of the social networks and to present some existing rural development networks in the North-Eastern Development Region in Romania. A successful rural development depends to a very large extent on the partnerships. The existence in Romania of a network of active public and private organizations in the community development area, some with previous experience in community development programs or projects, able and -willing to involve immediately in rural community development, is the starting point for the creation of a rural development network that will evolve in time and within which various changes from different directions will occur, especially as concerns its objects, individuals and institutions involved, actions performed.
