THE CHRONO-SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SOME DEMOGRAPHIC PECULIARITIES AT THE LEVEL OF THE DISTRICTS OF FAGARA? MUNICIPALITY
Abstract
The article highlights the chrono-spatial distribution of the evolution of some demographic peculiarities at the level of the districts of Fagara? for almost a millennium, starting from the XIth century, until today. Thus, first of all, the evolution of the population is highlighted, as a whole and on the component districts. Closely related to this is the evolution of density, both for the settlement's total and at the district level. Also, based on documentary sources – statistical-fiscal (urbaria, conscriptions), before 1850, censuses (from 1850-2011) – and other (yearbooks, phone books, electoral lists, etc.), we have reconstituted the ethnic, linguistic and confessional structure of the population, both on the whole locality and on the districts. We note, on the one hand, an inconsistent, slow evolution, with demographic setbacks, in the Middle Ages and a continuous increase, after 1800 and, especially, during the communist period, of the population and its density, followed by a decline, after 1989. Regarding the ethnolinguistic structure of the population, at the background of the continuous presence of an important share of the Romanians, until the interwar period, inclusive, important communities of Hungarians, Germans (Saxons) and Jews were formed and lasted for centuries, which declined during the communist period: the Hungarians stagnated or, at the background of a modest birth rate, decreased their number and share, the Germans emigrated en masse to Germany, and the Jews – to Israel. In confessional terms too, the most important community remained the Romanian Orthodox, but with the presence, notable, until a few decades ago, of the denominations of other communities (Catholic, Calvin, Unitarian – for Hungarians, Lutheran – for Saxons, Mosaic – for Jews).
