The Estimate of Territorial Development Potential using Criterions and Specific Economic Indicators. Case Study Galati County
Abstract
This paper has proposed to study potential peripheral areas of the Municipality of Galati, Galati County to set up a metropolitan area that is a vector of development for towns and villages in the area. Have been identified as priority areas for assessing the potential of the area, the economic one, society, habitat and administrative capacity, which are the areas on which one can obtain EU funds for development projects. Economics was evaluated on the basis of nine specific indicators, using specific information from villages in the Galati County. Based on the level of indicators examined, it has been analyzed the possibility of including in the metropolitan area the villages located at a distance of utmost 30 km. In this way we could make an estimate of the delimitation of a developed area adjacent to Galati City, also identifying new directions to expand this area to Braila Municipality.
