The man-bear relationship must take into account three aspects of the bears’ behavior: feeding, protection and aggressivity. The aim of the study is to analyze the typology of the relation between Ursus arctos arctos and Homo sapiens sapiens within the protected areas in the Harghita County (the Eastern Carpathians). The research methodology was the following: surveying the literature dealing with brown bear’s ecology and ethology; undertaking field research; running questionnaires; monitoring the online environment. The results show that the shrinkage of the brown bear’s habitat is directly proportional with forest shrinkage. The typology of the man-bear relationships includes commensalism, food competition and individual intolerance.","PeriodicalId":30556,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental and Tourism Analyses","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46396939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Conflicts in tourism and sustainable development in Moieciu de Sus village, Moieciu Resort, Romania","authors":"D.

Situated between two large protected areas, the eastern part of the resort has developed slightly uncontrolled in comparison with the western side that has to undergo specific conservation management. Thus, in the eastern part, respectively in Moieciu de Sus Village, the accommodation structures boomed generating extremely high densities of the accommodation capacity in some areas, so that this informal development and the tourists' flows have led to the emergence of some conflicts. The study aims at identifying and assessing the causes and effects of the conflicts that occur within a part of resort. The research methodology includes field observations for mapping the locations with problems and introduction to GIS, semistructured interviews. The results show that there are many spatial, environmental, socio-cultural and economic conflicts. For a sustainable development the area should solve some conflicts in order to improve the environmental quality, the agri-pastoral landscape conservation and to raise both local community quality of life and tourists satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":30556,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental and Tourism Analyses","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71088685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
