Abstract:
The lasting development means assuring a better quality life for
everyone, at the present and for the next generations; admitting the fact that
economy, the environment and social welfare are interdependent and the fact
that an environment affected from a quality point of view will negatively
influence, sooner or latter, the economical development and most of all our
own personal life quality; assuring the satisfaction of human basic
necessities: homes, safe streets, the opportunity of fulfilling oneself through
education, information, participation, health and work. All these elements
need a robust, healthy economy, capable to create the necessary means of
satisfying these needs, both present and future. In the present paper, we
propose ourselves the analysis (SWOT Analysis) of the local situation, from
the potential investor’s point of view in the local economy of the Mănăstireni
commune, from Cluj County. Attracting the possible entrepreneurs in
different domains will generate professional occupation, increased incomes
for the inhabitants, a more efficient allocation of the local resources, new
financial resources necessary to put forward new projects of
rehabilitation/expansion of physic and social infrastructure, projects of
environment protection, of tourism development, for promoting the area etc.
The sustainable development is not a detailed plan of action , a formula to be
implemented automatically. The sollutions are different depending on space,
time , values and available resources. The local communities’ development
process, from the sustainable development perspective, firstly involves the
acquaintancy of the necesity to plan the developpment, to assess corectly the
strong ang week points of the communities, of existing or potential risks and
opportunities, to influence the priorities for short and long therm. A
sustainable activity is based on active citizens, participating in community’
developmment. The local initiatives are representing a priority for the local
communities, the sustainable development being a challenge and a priority in
the same time. A challenge because a community has to be aware to the
internal and external evolutions, and to adhapt through local actions and
initiatives. A priority because the way a community is developping itself can
influence its present and future.
