Elaboration of Integration Strategies for Urban Marginalized Communities
The current report is part of the work on integrating poor areas and marginalized communities in Romania. Specifically, the Bank's technical assistance provided through this project focuses on three primary components: (1) a methodology for defining different types of urban disadvantaged communities based on a set of key criteria and indicators; (2) detailed maps that present the spatial distribution of these indicators and the corresponding types of marginalized communities; and (3) strategies for integrating these communities in the form of an integrated intervention tool and six conceptual pilots. The atlas presents the methodology used to define different types of urban disadvantaged areas as well as urban pockets of urban marginalization where deprivation is most severe. It identifies criteria and sets of indicators for each type that enable their identification and spatial location using the 2011 population census data. The atlas also produces the results of an analysis to determine the rate of urban marginalization in Romania and the characteristics of urban marginalized communities. Lastly, the atlas presents a series of maps at the city and town, county and regional level that present the spatial distribution of disadvantaged areas and marginalized communities, based on data from the 2011 population and housing census and information collected directly from municipalities.
| Summary: | The current report is part of the work
on integrating poor areas and marginalized communities in
Romania. Specifically, the Bank's technical assistance
provided through this project focuses on three primary
components: (1) a methodology for defining different types
of urban disadvantaged communities based on a set of key
criteria and indicators; (2) detailed maps that present the
spatial distribution of these indicators and the
corresponding types of marginalized communities; and (3)
strategies for integrating these communities in the form of
an integrated intervention tool and six conceptual pilots.
The atlas presents the methodology used to define different
types of urban disadvantaged areas as well as urban pockets
of urban marginalization where deprivation is most severe.
It identifies criteria and sets of indicators for each type
that enable their identification and spatial location using
the 2011 population census data. The atlas also produces the
results of an analysis to determine the rate of urban
marginalization in Romania and the characteristics of urban
marginalized communities. Lastly, the atlas presents a
series of maps at the city and town, county and regional
level that present the spatial distribution of disadvantaged
areas and marginalized communities, based on data from the
2011 population and housing census and information collected
directly from municipalities. |
