In the strategies of regional development, an increasing importance is
given to identifying the possibilities of endogenous development which, besides the
exogenous impulses, contributes to an optimal development of local economies. Gorj
County is one of the counties which recorded a major economic decline following the
restructuring of economic activities. These counties need interventions at the strategic
level, in order to identify the development alternatives, based on the capitalization of local
resources. Following the analysis of the relation between the enterprise initiative and
development, the way in which it has become fundamental for the development of a
geographical space was clearly underlined. The analysis of this determination offers a
well documented scientific support to the local and central authorities; this support regards
the development of the enterprise initiative in territorial profile and, on this basis, it offers
concrete solutions, based on decisional chains, which will have as a result the
attenuation of the imbalance within the territorial profile. The endogenous development of
the territorial systems may contribute to the sustainability of the cohesion process at local,
regional and national levels.

Complex processes, specific to the countries in transition, have had major
impacts on restructuring the territorial management systems. The removal of restrictions of
limiting urban expansion, imposed by the totalitarian regime, has allowed the rapid
expansion of cities, beyond administrative boundaries, since 1989. The concept of
emerging metropolitan area is explained by the multitude of problems posed by the
sketching of these areas and especially by their functioning. Synthesizing, there are
presented some managerial experiences considered inchoate, of some emerging
Romanian metropolitan areas, with an emphasis on Bucharest's metropolitan area. The
conclusions of these descriptive analysis show the complexity of the problems that can
occur during the process of building of the metropolitan areas under the circumstances of
lack of an inter-municipal cooperation culture. Integrated management takes into account
two realities: firstly, that the management of emerging metropolitan areas is trans-scalar,
achieving the partial mergence of the management types (including the collegiate one),
and secondly, that insuring a multi-level governance without implementing a polycentric
intra-metropolitan development policy, is not sufficient.

Nowadays, creative economies stand as a relevant indicator of the sustainable development of local and regional ones. The study aims to highlight the spatial behaviour of creative economies in the Bucharest‒Ilfov Development Region, the most dynamic and complex regional economy in Romania. In order to assess the spatial dynamics of creative economies in the region, an economic database was created, at the level of the territorial administrative unit, for the two economic indicators considered important for the study, number of employees and turnover, under the auspices of the Classification of National Economy Activities (NACE). The establishment of creative economies was made following the Government Decision no. 859 of 2014, with 66 codes for this sector. Annual cartographic models were developed for each indicator in QGIS (a free and open&ndash ; source cross&ndash ; platform desktop geographic information system application that supports viewing, editing, and analysis of geospatial data), for the period 2000&ndash ; 2016. For a relevant analysis of spatial behaviour, we used Sholl and Kolmogorov complexity, which highlighted specific patterns of spatial dynamics that help us to understand the role of creative economies in the sustainable development of regional economies. The results highlighted the role of accessibility corridors in the development of the regional economy.

The present study is a concise form of some of the researches conducted within
the Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Researches on Territorial Dynamics of the
University of Bucharest, which had as an objective identifying the relationships between the
development of the poles network and the evolution of demographic indicators. The study's
objectives are related to identifying the role of decisional impulses from the development
poles level in the functional structuring of the local settlements system. The analyses were
done at each census level, and the measures adopted by the decision makers in order to
stimulate the economy of development poles were underlined. A special attention was
given to the communist period, when decisional impulses were followed by immediate
effects at the level of dissipative capacity of towns, towards which the investments
allocated in order to develop industry were oriented.

"Assessment of Geography Teaching-Learning Process Through Game, in Pre-University Education. A general problem recognized in the educational process is the need to identify the manner in which the teacher, as the factor with the greatest influence on learning, increases the students' school performance. The creation of a tool in the form of an interactive website, using types of languages to improve an easy understanding of learning, the formation of specific competences and the students' enhanced motivation for study are the objectives of this study. This study evaluates the teaching-learning system through its own created game, using certain types of computer languages: HTML, CSS and JavaScript, from the perspective of measuring the impact of the effect on tests in the formative assessment sequence of students, compared to other teaching-learning methods. The experiment, observations, performance analysis and qualitative Google Forms questionnaires, suggested a high degree of student engagement and how game technology can facilitate teaching. As the results have shown that there is a strong difference between experimental and control groups, it indicates that educational play has had a positive impact on learning and increasing students' interest, confirming the advantages of learning through play. The teaching-learning model can be extended to use at national and international level. Keywords: teaching-learning through game; Geography; Google Forms; HTML computer language; CSS and JavaScript. "
