THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EVOLUTION REGARDING THE POPULATION GROWTH IN THE LAND OF SEVERIN

Journal Title: Geographia Napocensis - Year 2011, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

The causes which influenced the population growth in the Land of Severin are consistent with demographic processes, which happened at the national level, but also with the local influences driven by some geographical features, such as the geographical position of settlements compared to possible polarization centers which have a significant socio-economic attraction and which at a given moment had an impact over the potential demographic causing certain changes. To these causes we can also add other issues such as the insufficient material resources, poor hygiene, the lack of medical infrastructure or poor equipment of hospitals. Of particular importance for the evolution of population growth are also other social causes such as the presence of diseases (syphilis, plague and cholera which decimated the population in the region during the period 1830-1913 or Balkan Endemic Nephropathy, a disease characteristic to this region), abortions practiced in poor conditions of hygiene, especially during the communist period when these kind of actions were forbidden.
