I.1.7 Ecological awareness
Ecological awareness-raising is about all our
obligations towards the environment, the evaluation
and clarification of our attitude towards the
environment, as well as our contributions toward
solving the problems of the environment.
In Bistrita municipality, ecological awareness-raising is
reflected in the actions of the local authority and the
NGOs. The ecological calendar includes several
events: World Water Day, Month of the Forest, Day of
Internal
factors
SWOT ANALYSIS: NATURAL CAPITAL
the Earth, World Environment Day, and the world
event “A day without a car”.
In Bistrita municipality a Centre for Information and
Ecological Education was opened at the end of 2003
which runs an ecological education programme for
school children. The centre provides information on
the state of the environment and local, national and
European legislation concerning the environment.
Strengths: Weaknesses:
Trend of reducing air pollution.
Use of natural gas to the detriment of
traditional fuels, which are more polluting.
ISO 14001 certification for SC Rombat SA,
car batteries producer.
In terms of quality, the river Bistrita is in the
1 st quality category (according to STAS
4706/1988) and category A2 (according to
HG 100/2002) in terms of drinking water.
Water sources exceed actual capacity
needed by city
Large area of forest vegetation around
Bistrita municipality.
Existence on municipal territory of two
natural protected areas (including trees,
nature areas) with multiple functions:
The activity of several polluting companies,
with inefficient treatment systems.
The degradation of air quality caused by
inadequate urban infrastructure, poor
technical condition of motor vehicles, fuel
quality and insufficient sanitation
A sector of 9km in length of the river
Bistrita, downstream of the wastewater
treatment station, belongs to the 5 th quality
category due to the high quantity of
nutrients exceeding admissible values.
The lack of the sewerage network in some
zones connected to the water supply
system.
Insufficient urban public infrastructure:
drinking water sources and public toilets
