51 Master Plan - support for sustainable development in Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve / Tulcea county (Romania) Logical Framework Analyse (LFA) Romulus Ştiucă, Iulian Nichersu 1 Keywords: sustainable development, ecological rehabilitation, community facilities, tradiotional activities Introduction The development process of regions, as in the Danube Delta Region, is characterized by continual change, driven by a variety of forces – delta resources over exploitation, government policies, actions of private companies, infrastructure standards, safety of a place to work, and many more. When the change leads to unsatisfactory conditions for the people of the region, the need arises for carefully planned interventions to produce the desired results. A key to successful regional and local planning is to understand why current unedifying conditions are the way they are, what factors affect them, and what interventions could positively influence these factors. Traditionally, “master planning” at regional and local levels has addressed the land-use or physical aspects of development; for example, the scale, nature and location of housing and main community facilities, or the zoning of recreation areas The Danube Delta Regional Development Master Plan adheres to the principles of sustainable development, within the definition championed by the United Nations and subscribed to worldwide by most national governments. Expressed in its most basic form, this is support for: "…development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". A principal tenet of the concept of sustainable development is ‘intergenerational equity’, meaning that the degree of access to the resources which the planet can provide should be no less in the future than it is for the present population.
