| Summary: | The article aims to evaluate the heterogeneous nature of the regional space of
Romanian Banat, perceived as a developed region. The method is based on the complex
paradigm of the concept of territorial disparities, which includes other concepts such as
development, territory, spatial equity. The elementary disparities are analyzed by studying
three categories of variables: social, economic and of life standard. In order to reveal the
intraregional behavior the presented methodology used data from two census – 1992 and
2002, which permitted an analysis in two key moments: little after the change of political
regime and respectively, after 1o years of transition. Global disparities are studied by
calculating a global development index; according to it two types of areas were
established: advantaged (above the regional average) and disadvantaged (under this
average). The study of the territorial disparities – both elementary and global ones – and of
their dynamics 1992-2002 led to the establishment of a territorial model. |
