With its geographical position, spatial and altitude surface, the Romanian Carpathians create changes in the normal order of latitude geographic areas and determine the levelling of the bio-pedo-climatical conditions that lead to a diversity of the economic activities. A unique geographic aspect is given by the long term inhabiting, distribution and population density in the urban and rural localities in the Romanian Carpathian space.
By drawing up the Sustainable development strategy of the Romanian Carpathians (this strategy was developed by the National Institute of Research-Development in Tourism in 2015, based on a contract with the Tourism National Authority in Romania, with an emphasis on tourism), the specialists have made also a brief analysis of the rural and urban population. For both environments, one can notice a decrease of the population in a quick rhythm. Although, at world level they consider that the tendency is of population increase-for those who will live in urban areas at the end of the XXIth century. In this context, a more profound analysis for the Romanian towns included in this Carpathian Convention has been realised.
