Journal Title: Revue Roumaine de Géographie/Romanian Journal of Geography - Year 2013, Vol 57, Issue 2
Abstract
Identification and measurement of regional disparities is the decisive factor in solving the perceived disparities between regions. The key task here is the selection of correct and relevant indicators in terms of the final aim. The main goal of the article is, with emphasis on the broader theoretical and systemic salient points for the selection of indicators, to present basic and most frequently used indicators for the assessment of social regional disparities. The knowledge of the relevant indicators of social, socio-pathological and socio-demographic nature, based on general analysis of the differentiated aspects, attributes and statement value to research are presented. The paper is focused on the presentation of individual indicators, their contents, broader aspects and implications as far as the subject of analysis is concerned, their assets, drawbacks and possible modifications
