Summary/Abstract: This volume contains three background studies designed to underpin the General Plan of Development of the city Miercurea Ciuc. The first study aims at presenting the economic analysis of the city by elaborating the current situation analysis. The main objective was to develop an accurate analysis on the local economy, on the existing problems and relations within the local economic system. In addition to the secondary data, a field observation was also carried out regarding the situation of industrial districts and other economic activities. After analysing the situation, a SWOT analysis of the settlement was conducted, followed by the definition of the main strategic directions and the formulation of a strategic vision. Following that, three alternative development scenarios were formulated, among which the most viable one was chosen, partly integrating the other two. The second part of this volume presents the tourist town of Miercurea Ciuc. The study is based on the analysis of the inner areas of the municipality classified into four categories, according to their touristic potential. The main objective is to identify activities and projects proposed in these delineated areas of interest. Therefore, the study presents the objectives and proposed activities for six areas with a high or moderate interest in Miercurea Ciuc, and some local hazards that may affect the balanced urban and touristic development of that area. Part three of this volume is divided into three tests. The first part presents the analysis of demographic processes in Miercurea Ciuc. The demographic analysis presents the causes of population evolution (natural movement and migration), the changes in the population and labour force, and finally the data on housing. The second part of the sociology study presents the demographic projection of the city’s population in the period between 2002 and 2022. Calculations on the population growth were made by the application of the Cohort-Component Method, using a software programme that allows the simulation of arbitrary assumptions about factors that may influence population movements. The third part of this study provides a focus-group type of evaluation designed to present ideas and demands of the urban population regarding tourism.
