Summary/Abstract: This research aims to analyze the needs of people in marginalized communities in the Bărăbanţ neighborhood. This study brings to light the main aspects to be investigated, the identification of social issues regarding the communities in the Bărăbanţ area. Going through this stage involved describing the current status of the situation, but also comparing it with other case studies on marginalized communities. The strong idea is to try to define the concept of the social problem because, from it, all the actions of sociologists start in order to compose and implement public policies in order to eradicate or reduce its effects. The ultimate goal of public policy is to mitigate the effects of problems that arise in the medium to long term. For the analysis and evaluation of projects we must take into account a number of factors, such as: the size of the problem, the implementation cost analysis, the ability to provide an answer to the needs identified in the community.
