Romanian Review of Regional Studies

Aims & Scope

The geographical region is becoming the territory for profound and many-sided researches that are presented in the studies and articles published in our journal. These researches belong mainly to geographers, but also to other specialists (economists, sociologists, architects, planners, engineers) whose approaches may contribute to understanding the various aspects of regional processes and phenomena. However, without minimizing the importance of these other approaches, we believe that it is necessary to increase the geographers’ presence in regional studies. Their approach is most adequate because they are familiar with the actual territory and the way regional systems function. This is the main purpose and the permanent policy of the present journal. RRRS aims at disseminating the results from the research in the field of regional studies, promoting the exchange of ideas and experience between academics, researchers, PhD students and practitioners in the field of Regional Geography and other closely-related fields. Meant to be internationally accessible, the journal is published entirely in English. Besides the many-sided, practical and theoretical approaches to geographical regions, seen as integrated, functional territorial entities with distinctive features and specific needs, the journal explores new ways to assess the territory, identify and analyse regions for planning purposes, look for best practices or failures to meet the practical needs, assist authorities and policy makers in finding solutions and viable development alternatives. In addition, it encourages theoretical and methodological contributions since, in order to develop, Regional Geography needs to enrich and improve its methodology and has to separate from other geographical or non-geographical areas of knowledge or sciences.
