The Dynamic of Human Resources in the Land of Dorna (Ţara Dornelor)

Abstract

Problem StatementHuman resource represents one of the most important and dynamic component of the Land of Dorna territorial system. It provides specific information's about the evolution of the system in a certain period of time and also the future directions of development. Therefore, to remedy certain dysfunctions that occurred in the system it is important to determine the factors which influenced the evolutionary trends of this component. Purpose of StudyThe aim of the current study follows two directions: 1. to determinate the main causes leading to the geodemographic changes occurred in the last years in the region; 2. which is the role of the place attachment of the community in terms of current geodemographic phenomena's? MethodsFor the first part of the study we conducted from a comparative perspective a secondary analysis using data available from the National Institute of Statistics. In the second part we appealed to the analysis and interpretation of data provided by the 53 respondents that were questioned. The questionnaire covers mainly questions on the migration phenomenon and place attachment. ResultsThe values of the calculated indicators for the Land of Dorna revealed that they are below the average values of Suceava County. This aspect reinforces the balance status of the region in terms of geodemographic phenomena's. Another issue identified is the interrelationship between the place attachment of the population and their disponibility to emigrate. Conclusions and RecommendationsThe analysis of the geodemographic indicators revealed a number of atypical elements comparative for the current demographic situation in Romania. Nevertheless the second part of the study has a limitation that deserves appropriate comments. The sample size reduces the ability to generalize the findings. Repeating the current study with larger samples and on other lands too may provide more accuracy.
