Abstract

The rural space represents the relationship that is established between man and nature, interdependency relations establishing between social actions and the natural environment where these actions occur, as well as the essence of material and spiritual civilization that emerge and evolve on a certain territory. Thus, the rural space includes many areas, communities, natural landscapes, farmlands, forests, habitats and traditional cultures, being actually the place where most resources of national economy are concentrated. Romanian rural area faces with many weaknesses. The main problems specific for rural areas are low economic development, aging, migration towards urban areas, poorly developed infrastructure and low population density. The rural space has some distinct features which are transferred within the individuality, specificity and authenticity, compared to other areas. The Western Region is one of the eight regions of development established nationally on October 28, 1998. This region consists of four counties: Arad, Caras-Severin, Hunedoara and Timis.
