| description | The natural conditions provided by the analysed area have favoured the occurrence and
development of human settlements (199 villages). The social, political and economic
environments were the ones to shape the structure and evolution of all demographic phenomena.
There’s been a fluctuating evolution in the number of inhabitants. Between 1977 and 2004, the
population growth rates in this plateau, were constantly negative. This situation changed between
2004-2008, when 31 of the 36 towns in Bălăciţa’s Piedmont Plateau, recorded positive
population growth rates (the biggest increase reaching 10.31% in the town of Bucovăţ). The
effects of people’s migration towards bigger cities were felt until 2004, when, due to the difficult
economic conditions in the country, the population started turning towards agriculture again
(there were subsidies for seeds, for fuel, etc.). Thus, after approximately 48 years of constant
decline, the population growth rates in the plateau recorded a spike of 1.35%. The financial
support provided by the Romanian state for raising children, was another factor that triggered a
demographic growth. From 2008 onwards, there’s been a decrease of population in the area
(only 2 of the 36 settlements in the plateau still have positive growth rates). |
