Abstract

The analysis of the Romanian mountain areas highlights the complexity of the monetary and ecological challenges confronted with the aid of mountain areas, characterized by means of problems in the use of agricultural land due to climatic, geological, and slope situations. Mountain areas are considered deprived, their ecological fragility requires specific improvement measures. The exodus of young human beings and the poverty, related to unsustainable aid exploitation, positioned extra pressure on those communities. The proposed study offers a case look at mountain regions in Romania, with a special cognizance of the European Union structural funds intended for the improvement of those regions between 2014 and 2020. This observation compares the effect of European structural finances on the development of Romania’s mountain regions between 2014 and 2020, specializing in reading PNDR measures mainly carried out within the mountain areas. The unique measures that had been targeted for mountain regions at some point in that period, such as the finances allotted, the projects selected and shrunk, the bills made, and the consequences of those measures are mentioned within the take a look at. Specific examples and relevant character indicators are presented to guide the achievements in the improvement of mountain regions and applicable guidelines. The measures analyzed encompass investments in farms, the modernization of processing and marketing capacities, as well as support for small family farms. The study used monetary and bodily statistics to evaluate the effect of these measures, providing comparative analyses at country-wide and mountain-particular stages.
