The behavioural dimension in an urban community: emigration between the "easiest" way of life and community prestige in Curtea de Argeș, Romania

Abstract

Social groups relate to the spatial distribution patterns of groups. Geographers seek to explain concrete territorial situations resulted from the social groups' presence and actions. Our study aims to assess the spatial extension of social groups. By choosing an "easy" way of life based on pronounced frustrations, individuals have risked in their choices. When neighbourhoods preserve the same membership communication, relationships between the community groups does not lose the community character. Neighbourhood fragmentation maintains the community character, and, by applying quantified values of the distance, we can identify the extension of the territories. Thus, within the neighbourhood proximity has been exceeded and the distance has cancelled.
