Environmental risk management of urban growth poles regarding national importance
Peptenatu, D.; Pintilii, R.D. & Draghici, C.
Abstract
Urban settlements of regional importance from Romania impose within the national settlements
system by their ability to converge material and human flows, leading to important unbalances in the relationships
between the components of territorial systems. The status they held, both in the communist period and at present,
made the economic activities developed in a short time exceed the adapting ability of the other components of the
territorial system, the natural environment strongly feeling the industrialisation pressure. Identifying the specificities
of the environmental risk management at the level of development poles of regional importance was done by detailed
analyses accomplished in Craiova, a representative town for the high concentration of economic activities strongly
pressing upon the natural environment. The construction of the model of environmental risk management supposes the
classifying of risks by a series of criteria, a model which constitutes a useful instrument for the decision factors. The
management of unbalances from the territorial systems determined by industrialisation is one of the major preoccupations
of the decision factors from Romania, in order to be aligned to the European environment standards.
