Abstract: The Process of Suburbanisation in Romania. Case Study: The Suburban Zone of the Munizipiums Târgu Mureş. The process of suburbanisation has been described as characteristic for the developed states of the western societies. In Romania, in the context of major spatial changing after 1989, obvious development can be observed in the settlement-system too. First signs of a new trend in Romania can be observed in the big cities and medium-sized towns, in the form of the suburbanisation. This paper presents major characteristics of the process on the basis of the census data from 1992 and 2002. Further details are investigated at the micro-level of the middle-sized town Târgu Mureş. All three processes of the suburbanisation are obvious in the researched area: population, services and industry is moving from the center of the city to the peripheries. We have delimited the major axes and areas of the intensive suburbanisation. As a particularity we have observed that the industry and services are localized along the major communication roads, while the population shows two models of spatial diffusion: one into the direction of relatively peripheral suburban areas, the second one follows the main road-lines. In conclusion, on the hand of this case study we have shown that the process of suburbanisation had been set up in the transition Romania and we have shown that further and systematic comparative research on this topic will be needed. |
