Spatial development refers to developed areas and least developed, how it can be done better link between them and the manner in which less developed areas can catch up with the former. Every country that has reached the stage of development was faced, first, with differences of procedure. The fact that some regions grow faster is a good thing because it allows a faster global growth, a challenge for lagging regions and generate resources for solving the problems facing the country. For a more extensive development, attention should move from region to citizens. Decision makers should not focus on poorly developed areas, but on people living in these areas. Regions and economies are as strong as the people who live in them, and if these people will have access to opportunities and regions have. Generally, people are more productive when they are involved in activities that make them happy. Most often, underdeveloped regions cannot offer such opportunities. The role of public institutions is to facilitate citizens' access to opportunities, both at home and abroad and to support disadvantaged groups who lack access to opportunities like the rest of the population. This paper provides an overview of poorly developed regions in Romania and shows how residents of these areas can move closer to living standards and opportunities for those in developed areas.

The European Parliament presents on its official website information on how the European Union intends to reach a circular economy by 2050. The action plans and directions, the key sectors of the circular economy, as well as the ways of waste management and transport are presented. On the other hand, the Department for Sustainable Development within the Romanian government presents its own vision of the circular economy. It should be appreciated that the Romanian perspective is based on studies that are based on the perceptions of citizens. The aim of our research is to highlight the cohesion between the Romanian perspective and the European vision in terms of how they understood to harmonize their principles and directions of action in the field of circular economy. It is known that Romania joined the EU on January 1, 2007 and has 33 members in the European Parliament. Currently about 77% of Romania’s exports are made to the EU (Germany 23%, Italy 11% and France 7%) and Romania’s imports come in proportion of 75% from the other EU member states (Germany 20%, Italy 9% and Hungary 7%). Although Romania has committed to adopt the euro as soon as it meets the necessary conditions and is in the process of joining the Schengen area, these goals are not yet fulfilled in 2022. The findings of our research allow us to conclude that beyond strategies and action plans, action and its consequences are important. Romania’s paradigm in terms of the circular economy can be considered surprising in its similarity and antagonistic in its results. Our conclusions allow the opening of new directions of research regarding the perspectives of the circular economy through economic and social resilience.

The circular economy is currently being regarded as a solution to an environmental crisis that is as severe as the epidemic, but is less apparent to the general public. For anyone interested in learning more about the circular economy and its application areas, there is a wealth of knowledge available in both specialist and secondary information sources. The purpose of our investigation is to identify the most important characteristics of the circular economy as they are presented to the public in different parts of the globe. We decided on the infographic analysis as a solution for this. They communicate their message in a succinct manner, yet they have a significant influence on the audience. Do these communications have an impact on how people perceive the domain? This is the question that our investigation seeks to address. We conducted a study of the literature in order to provide clarity. This demonstrated to us the fundamental qualities of the circular economy, as well as the specificities of the application sector in question. In order to examine the literature, we make use of VOSviewer. This is a software program that allows you to create and examine bibliometric networks. Our research team has used it to create networks of cooccurrence pricing of relevant phrases that were pulled out of a corpus of scientific literature using the text extraction feature of the software. Our results enabled us to draw attention to the unique characteristics of the circular economy, as well as the message that each country and region of application sends to its target audience. The findings of research may also be utilized to develop compelling messages that can be delivered in various regions of the globe.

Automation is the key word of this century when it comes to describe sustainable development, social evolution, economic empowerment and ease of access to new business solutions. In this paper we try to analyse and re-establish the need to develop, not only as societal and human evolution, but also as a standalone process that shows us that the actual acceleration of automation in everything that surrounds us is actually the next generation of globalization. We also try to analyse the psychological pressure developed of automation and the fact that if we’ll reach an evolutionary ceiling and if it will be followed by a new disruption in the way we see economics. As a research method, we used a mix of methods combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. The main findings have allowed us to highlight the trends in the literature in terms of automation in the era of globalization as well as new practical directions of action. Beyond the pros and cons of globalization, our work allows readers to find new business solutions that contribute to a sustainable development of society, a healthy social evolution, and last but not least an increase in economic power taking into account the risks associated with these changes, including psychologically.
