LOGICAL FRAMEWORK ANALYSIS AS TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE REGENERATION IN THE URBAN-RURAL INTERFACE 149 https://doi.org/10.5719/aub-g/70.1/9 LOGICAL FRAMEWORK ANALYSIS AS TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE REGENERATION IN THE URBAN-RURAL INTERFACE COSMINA-ANDREEA MANEA 1 Abstract Territorial regeneration is needed for most spaces situated on the edge of large cities. Due to the strong influence of the city, they lack the necessary resources to attract investments and to create a sustainable development. Logical Framework Analysis (LFA) can be used to identify the main actors, their resources, the problems and their causes, as well as the long, medium and short-term objectives and the necessary actions needed to achieve them. Feldioara commune, a rural area near Brasov Municipality, managed to identify its natural resources, to attract industrial enterprises from the city, and, in the same time, to create a strong community and local identity. By analyzing statistical data from the last years and the LFA structure, we can trace back how they managed to achieve sustainability and extract some general actions with a high degree of replicability in many other settlements situated in the urban-rural interface. Keywords: urban-rural interface, logical framework analysis, regeneration, sustainability Introduction Territorial regeneration represents the structured and integrative functional conversion of spaces that leads to a betterment of economic, physical, living and environmental conditions (Pourzakarya and Bahramjerdi, 2019). For a sustainable rural regeneration all actors must be actively involved (Safonte and Trapani, 2017; Gao and Wu, 2017) and all local resources must be used efficiently. This way, regeneration leads 1 PhD student Doctoral School Simion Mehedinti – Nature and Sustainable Development, University of Bucharest, E-mail: cosmina.manea@drd.unibuc.ro
