Evidence-based designation of development regions in Romania
Evidence-based designation of development regions in Romania

Summary/Abstract: Public debates on the regional dimension of societal organisation are marked by a series of stereotypes originating from the lack of knowledge of this phenomenon. For this reason, this study combines the concepts of homogeneity and heterogeneity with specific spatial structures (core-periphery structures) in the designation of development regions (NUTS 2 level) in Romania. Its aim is to provide scientifically sound alternatives for the designation of development regions. The main contribution of the paper is to introduce three alternative scenarios for the delimitation of development regions.
