Nomenclatura străzilor - expresie a gradului de cultură în evoluţia unei localităţi
The Streetnames - expressions of locality’s cultural evolution level

Summary/Abstract: This paper refers to the particular process of modifying the street names, a process which was determined, in time, by random political interests and which became reccurent. As a result of the colaps of the communist system, the Romanian society changed; this situation implies that the Soviet system of street names should also be removed, in order to reestablisgh the original names, which are related to personalities of the Romanian history. This paper's authors assert that an action like that would have a positive impact on our descendants only if the administrative authorities'decision is based on preliminary consultation with people who - as a part of their everyday work - know the history of the locality and of the street. As an expression of democracy, and not only for the sake of the notion, the inhabitants of acertain human settlement should be consulted when changing the street names.
