摘要：The tourist resorts in Romania have experienced quantitative andqualitative changes, especially after 1990. After a period of maximumdevelopment specific to the 70’s, when their number was over 130, in 2006, byapplying a new law referring to the qualitative aspect, their number decreasedconsiderably to 47 resorts of national interest and 49 of local interest. Ourpurpose, by means of this study, is to accomplish an analysis at the level ofsupport administrative territorial units (LATUs) where there are tourist resorts,and a quantitative/qualitative interpretation of the role of natural and anthropictourist resources in defining tourist functionality of a territorial system of thistype. The accreditation of the endeavor from scientific point of view starts fromthe use of a specific data base existing in the Spatial Planning of the NationalTerritory (SPNT)–section VI Tourist Zone4, and from the combination of acertified methodology in the specialty literature with a pattern proposed in thisstudy. Through the weighting of values on categories of elements and throughcomparative analysis we have obtained a typology of LATUs which we propose asa useful instrument in elaborating strategies to plan and develop the territoryunder the form of functional tourist territorial systems of tourist resort type.
