| Summary: | The organisation process of the human communities that populated and nowadays inhabit Drăgoiasa-Tulgheş alignment and the adjacent mountain areas was strongly and intimately connected with nature and its habitation potential. The physical environment acted
as a premise, at times favourable and at times unfavourable, influencing human life depending on the social imperatives. Once the first human settlements appeared, we may speak of an intensification of the systematic and organized capitalization of natural resources, with positive effects on demographic growth, like the case of Borsec, where, in the second half of the 19th century, Germans and Czech were brought, as qualified workforce in glassmaking and mining. The natural setting, the geographic position were favourable for the development of an activity that consisted of animal husbandry and forestry, with highs and lows caused by social and historical factors that influenced the population of this area. This territory functioned for a long time as an almost closed social-economic system, the material and human factors rarely exceeding the surrounding mountains. |
