Abstract

The goal of this article is to analyze the level of citizens’ trust in different public institutions during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, and the influence of citizens’ trust on their compliance with the measures adopted to prevent the spread of the virus. The research was conducted between November and December 2020 on a sample of 700 residents of Metropolitan Area of Cluj, Romania. During the time of data collection, Romania registered the largest number of daily COVID-19 cases, therefore, citizens’ compliance with preventive measures was crucial to contain the spread of the virus. Citizens reported high levels of compliance with preventive measures. However, even though people were recommended to avoid meetings with relatives and friends, and participation to private events with large number of people, respondents reported that did not fully comply with social distancing requirements. Citizens have highest level of trust in the public institutions at local level, medical institutions and County Committees for Emergency Situations. The research found that trust in public institutions influences the compliance with preventive measures; however, the influence is weak and the trust in different institutions influences differently policy compliance.

“对公共机构的信任和对COVID-19大流行措施的遵守。以罗马尼亚克卢日都市圈为例

本文的目的是分析在第二波COVID-19大流行期间公民对不同公共机构的信任水平，以及公民信任对其遵守所采取的防止病毒传播措施的影响。该研究是在2020年11月至12月期间对罗马尼亚克鲁日大都市区的700名居民进行的。在收集数据期间，罗马尼亚登记的每日COVID-19病例数量最多，因此，公民遵守预防措施对于遏制病毒传播至关重要。市民报告说，对预防措施的遵守程度很高。然而，尽管人们被建议避免与亲戚朋友会面，以及参加人数众多的私人活动，但受访者表示，这并没有完全符合社交距离要求。公民对地方一级的公共机构、医疗机构和县紧急情况委员会的信任度最高。研究发现，对公共机构的信任影响预防措施的依从性;但是，对不同机构的信任对政策遵从的影响是不同的。

期刊介绍： TRAS represents a collective effort initiated by an international group aimed at boosting the research in the field of public administration in a country where during the communist regime there was no tradition in this sense. TRAS represents a unique source of specialized analysis of the ex-communist space, of the transition processes to democracy, of the reform of public administration, and of comparative analysis of administrative systems. The general topic covered by the articles in the Review is administrative sciences. As a result of an interdisciplinary, modern approach, the articles cover the following specific themes: Public management, public policy, administrative law, public policy analysis, regional development, community development, public finances, urban planning, program evaluation in public administration, ethics, comparative administrative systems, etc. TRAS encourages the authors to submit articles that are based on empirical research. From the standpoint of the topic covered, TRAS is lined up with the trends followed by other international journals in the field of public administration. All articles submitted to the Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences have to present a clear connection to the field of administrative sciences and the research (both theoretical and empirical) should be conducted from this perspective. Interdisciplinary topics related to organizational theory, sustainable development and CSR, international relations, etc. can be considered for publication, however the research needs to address relevant issues from the perspective of the public sector. Articles which use highly specialized econometrics models as well as studies addressing macro-economic topics will not be considered for evaluation. The decision on whether a certain topic falls within the interest of TRAS belongs to the editors and it is not connected with the overall quality of the work submitted.
