The location of zărnești city in romania in the system of small and medium urban locations of Brașov County

Abstract

Regardless of its size as a population, or the area in which it takes place, each city has relationships of different types, relationships that ensure its existence and that can define its area of urban influence. In other words, the area of influence of a city has its own structure and is expressed through the very close relations between that city and the other urban and rural localities around it. Depending on certain elements (the level of development of the country, the geographical position of the city, the density of urban centers and the size of the city), we can determine the size of the area of influence of that city. This study aims to evaluate the influence of Zărnești City (Romania) on the system of localities of Brașov County, in the context of urban competitiveness. The classical methods of human geography will allow the quantitative and qualitative appreciation of the influences of the researched city, in time and space, which is part of a doctoral study.
