Some Considerations Concerning Rural Durable Development And Its Implications On Rural Areas

During the last few years, economic growth has doubled the ecologic impact on the planet, and placed additional pressure on the environment. A rapid growth was recorded, which lead to a deficit of natural resources for both current and future generations. The conducted research revealed that the priorities of rural development are the same for all three time spans, i.e. pre-accession, adhesion and integration, and continue to this present day. Managerial objectives of durable rural development lead to the strong economic growth and a degradation of the surrounding environment, by strengthening the efficiency of economic activities. The durability of resource allocation, usage and production processes by reducing resource degradation and improving waste management lead to a rethinking of durable development objectives. The development of agro-tourism and ecologic within the Romanian rural space are processes which consider the needs and requirements of current and future local rural communities, through: financial benefits for livestock farmers who emphasize on quality above everything else; the generation of new employment opportunities for inhabitants of rural areas; the reduction of the impact on the natural and cultural heritage of those specific regions; the support of popular traditions and of traditional products.
