Summary/Abstract: Ethnic Structure of Transylvania at the End of 19th Century and Beginning of 20th Century, According to the Census Data of the Time. The present study analyzes the data regarding the ethnic structure of Transylvania, as recorded in the 1880, 1900 and 1910 censuses. The data can be subjected to more refined techniques of analysis in the new form of presentation designed by the members of the Department of Sociology, and published in a number of volumes in the collection Studia Censualia Transsilvanica. We assessed, in a manner as accurate and objective as possible, the intensity of the process of change of the ethnic structures at the level of the territory of Transylvania, and at the level of the present day counties. The Magyarization of the Romanian population and of the other ethnic groups represents the dominant trend. We also show the evolution of ethnic structures of the localities, by a number of characteristics.
