THE FUTURE OF A MINING LOCALITY. THE ROȘIA MONTANĂ CASE

Summary/Abstract: After the fall of communism, the mining locality of Roșia Montană underwent significant structural changes and reconfigurations, physical and in the minds of the local people. Some of these changes were of symbolic nature. The last label associated with the mining town was that of UNESCO site. The present study presents the opinion of the local people and the displaced persons from the locality, regarding the inclusion of Roșia Montană in the UNESCO patrimony, one year before the accomplishment. The study correlates various characteristics of the people in the locality and the opinion expressed towards this situation. The results show significant differences in perception between respondents regarding the new status of the locality. At the same time, the paper presents the opinions of the local priests regarding the future of the locality and the area, after the RMGC company's activity was curtailed and before the inclusion of the locality in the universal heritage.
