Summary in German and Russian Incluye bibliografía
... The beech (Fagus sylvatica) forest, with some Carpinus betulus, Picea abies, and Corylus avellana, covers the slopes near these basins (Istvan et al., 1990). The Oaş Depression (Fig. 1) is situated west of the Gutâiului Mountains, in the lowland and has a surface of 614 km 2 (Velcea, 1964), whereas the Someş Valley is located south and south-west of the Gutâiului Mountains (Fig. 1). 1. 1.

... The archaeological data suggests a strong influence of the Early Slaves along the Someş Valley (Stanciu, 1999). In the Oaş Depression the archaeological information is absent until the Middle Age (beginning of the last millennium), when written sources point to the emergence of numerous villages in the Oaş Depression (Velcea, 1964). During the last 300 years, marked changes in forest composition are reflected in the disappearance of almost all other tree species from the Fagus forests, except for Quercus (Figs. 2, 3). ...
... The characteristics of the surroundings of the study sites make them less suitable for settlements and agriculture. The palaeoecological data agrees with the archaeological evidence from the Oaş Depression and the Someş Valley, which suggest an increased in population density stating with the Late Migration Age (Velcea, 1964; Stanciu, 1999). Other pollen types of cultivated plants found in our diagrams were Cannabis-type and Juglans-type, indicating that Cannabis sativa and Juglans regia may have been grown in the Oaş Depression. ...
The examination of pollen and charcoal from the Gutâiului Mountains in northwestern Romania and the archaeological evidence from surroundings provides some information on how past human activities have changed the vegetation in this region. The first evidence of potential human influence upon the woodlands is manifested by fire clearance recorded at approximately 7900 cal. yr BP coinciding with the Early Neolithic. The charcoal peaks at ca. 5750, 3300, 2700, 1500, 1000 cal. yr BP, and during the last 300 years are associated with episodes of decline of main woodland constituents (Ulmus, Tilia, Fraxinus, and Corylus), and the expansion of fire-precursors (Betula, Alnus, and Corylus), and of herb species that indicate an anthropogenic disturbance. The small openings created within the woodlands were probably used as grazing areas. The first signs of agriculture appear at ca. 1500 cal. yr BP. Only during the last 300 years does pollen of the cereals e.g. Secale, Hordeum-group, Poaceae >40 μm, suggest the spread of arable field in the lowlands (Oaş Depression), but not in the proximity of the study basins.
... Oaș Land, (thanks to traditions, customs, port, genesis, physical and economic geography, local specificity, etc.), has been the object of study for many researchers (Bănățeanu,1955, Andron, 1971, 2001, Focșa, 1975, 1999, Halmi, 1998, Haiduc, 2004, Suciu, 1989Velcea, 1964, Savu, 1970, 1981, Surd & Nicoara, 1989, Ilies et al., 1998Herman & Vârnav, 2014). ...
The present study, which aims at a historical-geographical entity of "land" type, aims to highlight some elements of territorial, local identity that underlie the definition of the Oaș Land. For this purpose, an important component of an event in the life of the community, namely the wedding, with an emphasis on a "the bride of preparing", from the perspective of local identity, were analyzed in terms of literature. From a methodological point of view, the main defining elements of a wedding were targeted, namely : the flag, the bride of preparing and the dance of the bread. The analysis of this festive event highlights the fact that the wedding and the bride of preparing is a strong identity element for Oaș.
The reasons for a field trip in Romania and Ukraine?
The field trip was organized after the 11th edition of the International Symposium on Environmental Quality and Land Use, Suceava, 2017, between 3rd and 4th of June, on the territory of two neighboring countries, Romania and Ukraine.
The field trip itinerary was the following:
• The first day (June 3rd, 2017): Suceava - Siret - Chernivtsi - Sniatyn - Kolomyia - Deleatin - Yaremche - Tatariv.
• The second day (June 4th, 2017): Tatariv - Bukovel - Yablunytsia pass (Iabloniţa) - Yasinya - Rakhiv - Dilove
- Solotvino (Slatina) - Tyachiv (Teacev) - Khust (Hust) - Vynohradiv (Vinogradov) Okli respectively Halmeu - Livada - Orașu Nou - Negrești Oaș - Certeze - Huta pass - Săpânța - Sighetu Marmației - Bârsana
- Bogdan Vodă - Vişeu - Moisei - Borsa - the Prislop pass - Cârlibaba - Ciocăneşti - Mestecăniş pass - Pojorâta
- Campulung Moldovenesc - Gura Humorului - Vama - Suceava.
Why did we choose this route for the trip? There are many reasons and all ar equally important.
Firstly, because the geographic space of Northern Romania and Southwestern Ukraine, especially the Carpathians, offer wonderful views, unforgettable places and a refreshing atmosphere created by hospitable people.
Secondly, the two geographical areas coincide with a region where the wood art led to the creation of marvelous architectural jewels, from the simplest houses to the most beautiful churches that resisted over the ages on both sides of the Tisa River. Only on the Romanian side of Maramures there are almost one hundred wooden churches, eight of them being part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
Additionaly, from a historical point of view, the area chosen for the field trip was part of the Austrian Empire for a century and a half. This was preserved over time in the beautiful historical centers of the main towns which are representative for two major historical regions - Bucovina and Maramures, both territorially divided between the two neighboring countries, Romania and Ukraine.
Last but not least, because we consider that every Romanian must at least once visit Transcarpathia and Maramures in order to convince himself of the continuity of the cultural and moral values of the regions with an indentical history, located on both sides of Tisa river, and famous for preserving the rural heritage - customs,
architecture, music and costumes.
