The integration is a very important domain in all actual researches about children with special needs, especially today, when social politics began to be interested in/ and support this area more and more.

This study examined "Stereotypes, Prejudices, and Support Groups in the Integration of Children with Special Needs" in 6 schools from Cluj-Napoca. An important conclusion is the follow: children with special needs struggle with labels. The others (regular children, parents of regular children and even some teachers) can be very cruel in their attitudes toward anyone who is different. This conclusion is based on 15 semidirective inteviews with different kinds of specialists who work in this domain.

Definiţia satului în concepţia lui George Em. Marica

Vasile-Mihai Cucerzan

Abstract: The definition of the village in the conception of George Em. Marica

This text presents the definition of the village made by Professor George Em. Marica(1904-1982). He defines the village realising connections between “integrant factors", “determinant natural-material factors", “social factors" and “social-spiritual factors". Among the most important elements which define the village are: the village is a territorial unity with a geographical base, its not numerous, sedentary, homogeneity population is a agricultural one, the village is a durable, not differentiated , well incorporated, involuntary, endless, primary and total, induced by tradition, constant and fixed, with a irrational and conformist social motivation, dominated by routine and by personal, familiar and direct relationships. At the foundation of our analysis are the books of George Em. Marica entitled Încercare de definiţie a satului( An Attempt for the Village's Definition), Satul ardelean (The Transylvanian Village) and especially Satul ca structură psihică şi socială (The Village as Psychical and Social Structure).

Strategii de dezvoltare rurală

Andrei Negru

Abstract: Rural developing strategies

In order to modernize itself, the Romanian rural community needs well-articulated and elaborated developing strategies aiming at attaining well-defined targets. For being viable, these strategies should take into account the actual conditions in which they are to be implemented and they should be focused on the social actors of development. The actors of development can be: individuals; naturally existing social units - individual family farms, kindred groups tightly connected to each other; groups organized for achieving other aims, that can be involved in attaining a common aim; communities at large. In their turn, the developing strategies can be: individual strategies; familial group centred strategies; strategies centred on various groups of interests inside the community; strategies centred on the community as a whole.

FLANEURI PRIN DOMENIUL PAROHIAL.
SPRE O FENOMENOLOGIE A
"ARHIPELAGULUI URBAN"

Silviu G. Totelecan

Abstract: Flaneurs thru parochial realm. Towards an "urban archipelago" phenomenology

The social sciences are somehow split between two main methodological approaches: objective and subjective. Pluses and minuses are present in both of them and an increasing number of authors claim their reunification. In this paper, though I am member of the subjective camp, I will try to explore the empirical reality of the Cluj-Napoca city urban environment from a slightly different angle namely "speculating" (i.e., describing in a phenomenological manner) around the assertions that have been provided by my interviewees during the fieldwork. With this occasion I will interestedly omit the facts (which in my opinion are purely social constructs!) and try to describe the urban experience sketched upon my feelings and corrected by some of my fellow-city-inhabitants.
