Territorial intelligence and local development. The restoring of results of the sociological inquiry in a microregional area.

In its first part the study intends to reunite a series of conceptual delimitations, the focused concepts being especially those of territorial intelligence, community development and governance. The second part of the study, dedicated to our more recent investigations in the Apuseni Mountains (Romania), starts with a short description of the studied territory: the micro-region Albac-Scărişoara-Horea (Alba county). In the sociological inquiry made in the micro-region, among other objectives, we mainly focused on the inhabitants' representations of the studied territory. The results of the sociological inquiry were then restored to the local actors, thus shaping an important instrument of settling territorial intelligence, community development and local governing in a micro-regional context.
