ROMANIA OF THE URBAN GHETTOS - FAVOURITE SPACE FOR THE AMASSES SOCIAL SUPPORTED PERSONS

Summary/Abstract: After 1990 appeared in the cities of Romania, regardless of their size, several poor urban spaces that gather Roma population. These are often regarded as second hand urban habitats. Some of them transformed during time in real ghettos, as a consequence of the continuous process of urban segregation. Starting mainly from the data provided by the media, and not only, this analysis desires to sketch an image that is as comprehensive as possible. Also, an important objective of this article represented to emphasize social support and the way in which it is carried out (social housings, utilities paid by the authorities, daily food at the social canteens, payment of some social taxes, etc.) The amass of social supported persons in these ghettos is obvious because of the persistent poverty on one hand and, on the other hand, of the disadvantages that the population of these habitats have to face (lack of education, professional training, discrimination, etc.).
