Abstract
This paper addresses the sensitive subject of residents in marginalized urban areas and proposes solutions in order to improve life quality parameters by accessing multidisciplinary networks of knowledge and information. In the context of contemporary technologies, conclusions resulting from applied practices in strictly contextualized situation become important sources for the implementation of efficient public policies. Access to knowledge proves to be a primary necessity, in conditions when efficiency is imperative and sustainable development bases on a minimum resources input in exchange for a maximum values output. In the context of a mining zone that is in full economic decline, where the local identity is not built yet and the contemporary processes offer a priority to urban centres at the expense of the marginal areas as a development and economic growth engine, the necessity for public policies concentrated on the needs of the first is essential. Studying the ways in which resilient cycles based on production and consumption can offer to communities a raised degree of independence to the external context in trying to define a unitary development pattern, the authors propose the implementation of a public policies program, through which the inhabitants of every Vicinity Unit can access the most relevant information and can participate in multidisciplinary education and formation projects.
Introduction
Contemporary agreements oriented to sustainable development concentrate the efforts in central urban areas, in activity cores with a precise economic character, proposing social assistance and inclusion for the marginal areas in the effort to support the first (according to Lisbon Strategy). The result us an urban system with a hierarchical configuration, in which marginal areas are subordinated to the central ones, with various effects, from economic to sociological. Marginal areas exist, in this case, in order to economically support the central ones, and the central areas exist in order to support the marginal ones, economically as well as extra-economic. In Romania, according to a recently published atlas (MDRAP, 2015), there are six types of marginal urban areas (MUA, in Romanian ZUM). These include ghettos formed by collective blocks of flats, ghetto areas of former mining settlements, slums formed by household groups, slums formed by temporary homes, social dwellings in collective households or homes abusively occupied in historical areas. These areas are confronted to numerous problems, on different scales: minimal living conditions, total lack or reduced access to infrastructures, minimal legal incomes or total lack of incomes, vulnerable positions in labour market or restricted access to education for adults and high rates of school dropouts. In Jiu Valley, there are all types of ZUM previous presented, the urban areas in this micro-region being the ones that shows the highest marginalized population rate reported to a total number of inhabitants. The most complex problems overlap the areas that show the most stages of becoming in history, mixing various ethnical and social class groups.
