- Objectives (max 1 page)

Describe the overall objective to which the Action aims to contribute towards and the specificobjective(s) that the Action aims to achieve.

Background: According to the LACE Study on EU Initiative Interreg and future prospects -"Cross border cooperation is direct cooperation between the neighboring regions along the border, in allareas of local and regional authorities, involving all stakeholders." (Association of European BorderRegions)

Both target areas in Romania and Ukraine are placed on both sides of the border face similarsocio-economic problems that lead to greater poverty, chaotic creation of constructions, withoutcomplying with the minimum elements of traditional architecture although this area can be a "piece ofheaven" for eco-tourism development activities by exploiting the tourism potential in the area - turningnatural organic products.

The aim of this project is Hutsul local architectural heritage revaluation from the Romanian-Ukrainian border zoneAs we follow the preservation of language, customs, traditions and lifestyles of Hutsul (Slav

population living on both sides of the border between Romania and Ukraine, in the Carpathians) resultingin promotion, development and perpetuation of local cultural values - such as specific architecture ofwooden houses in this area. From the experience of other regions I understood that is the mostadvantageous cross-border approach to this problem (by sharing experience, organizing joint events,cooperation has to solve common problems) than the efforts made by their own institutions for eachregion.

And with access to funding from the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENPI Cross-BorderCooperation Programme 2007-2013 for Priority 4: Supporting cooperation "people to people", Measure4.1 Institutional Cooperation, we have an opportunity to capitalize on and promote the architectural

heritage and cultural Hutsul in the Romanian-Ukrainian border areaThis will be achieved through the following objectives: O1. Increasing use of the architectural heritage (Wood) of Ukrainian Hutsul in MaramuresMountains, in a period of 10 months:- Preparation of traditional architecture border camp- Organizing the camp of traditional architecture;- Organizing public exhibitions, with permanent character designs resulting from the camp organization- Developing and approving a set of rules needed to maintain the architectural development and

perpetuation of traditional architectural elements 02. Architectural Restoration of the Civic Center in the village of Repedea, in a period of10 months- Rehabilitation works were carried out outside of the Cultural House in Repedea by using the local

architectural elements (wood products);- Completion of the development of Repedea village Civic Centre, Maramures County (to become amodel of good practice for other local governments in the area - in the public consciousness of Hutsul

from Carpathian Mountains - is the community center where they gather, a once or twice a week,exchange views, to inform, finalize business deals and find work. O3. Hutsul of Maramures Mountains specific cultural heritage revaluation, in a period of10 months.

- Establishment of a Media Center Hutsul (TV studio) valuing the cultural heritage of Hutsul a side of theborder between Romania and Ukraine because I noticed that every year we go away from old habits,traditions, songs, traditional carols of Hutsul disappear with them.- Making a movie to promote traditional architecture of Hutsul elements in micro-Verchovena RuscovaValley region being designed to popularize showing the locals the opportunity to build beautiful anddurable houses using local products (wood, stone) and local architectural elements and not Mediterraneanarchitectural elements that are currently used;- A portal to promote cultural values Hutsul where they can post videos, photos, songs, information oftheir life in the Romanian-Ukrainian region.

- Relevance of the Action (max 4 pages)

Please provide the following information: Provide a detailed presentation and analysis of the problems and their interrelation at alllevels.

States and border regions in the Transcarpathian region, including Romania and Ukraine arecharacterized by a wide variety of both natural and geographical conditions, as well as a number offeatures common economic, social and cultural as well as the existence of which is sparsely developedeffect of lack of jobs, migration of working-age population, of the young and the aging population andhow is the situation of our target area eventually neglecting Hutsul specific local language and customs.

The territory we want to implement the project is located at the Romanian-Ukrainian border,extending from one another: micro-Verchovena-Ruscova Valley-region. Both territories are part of the

ethnographic area Hutsul (Slav population, situated in the Carpathian Forested Mountains).People do not really know too much detail about the Hutsul. In history they have left no writtenrecord. Some theories see Hutsul (also called humane) Slavicized Dacians; others assume that they areSlavs who came in Bucovina and Maramures, before the Eighth Century. Although their origins remainunclear, Hutsul are linguistically group of Ruthenias. Language of Hutsul (an old Slavic language) isspoken in Romania in the west of Northern Bukovina and Maramures, Ruscova Valley, and inmountainous parts of the Ukraine.

On these populations in the northern Carpathians Hutsul mystery hovers over their originsbecause they differ in physiognomy, the spiritual traits, port, customs, traditions or architectural glory andRomanian mass that they live in. They live mainly on the ridges of the Carpathians in the Ukraine andnorthern Romania. These areas are separated by valleys and mountains, noticing a higher density in some

places, or even common living areas.

One of the elements of community identity of the Carpathians is Hutsul is the traditional woodenhouse. But the pacts in recent decades, due to national and local policies inconsistent and unenforceableon the ground, built a disorderly, chaotic space, constructible development has eliminated the traditionalelements of wood and construction in favor of Mediterranean-type houses, with more floors, while theywho built huge houses they live in a dark little house behind it. At the legislative level, there is no legal

protection to old buildings or the imposition of general management plans - urban law of any place - tobuild homes that meet local architecture and traditional architectural elements of Hutsul. All these factorshave led to a vacuum of authority and legislation that allowed owners to "do what they want theirmoney."

We believe that at this time because of the fast pace of new housing lifting Hutsul inhabited areamust be taken to the recovery of traditional architectural elements to:- create a local framework for protection and conservation of the landscape piles interaction of human

activities and nature over time has created a separate area with significant landscape value and / orculture, often with great biodiversity;- creating models of good practice (as will be the rehabilitation of cultural center of Repedea village);

Page 7 of 75

- maintaining harmonious interaction of man with nature by protecting habitats and landscape diversity,promoting traditional practices and culture of the local population.- provide public recreation and tourism opportunities in communities which are very different just like arethose of the Carpathians Hutsul (with a culture, traditions, customs, ports, single language throughout

Europe.)

Provide a detailed description of the target groups and final beneficiaries and estimatednumber.

The target group: is represented by at least 30 people who annually start to build a house in thisborder micro-region (Ruscova Valley-Verchovena), inhabitants of protected areas for sustainabledevelopment of local communities and are currently building their homes without complying witharchitectural elements typical of Maramures Mountains HutsulFinal Beneficiaries: The beneficiaries will be all local communities in the area of micro-region cross-

border Verchovena Ruscova Valley, the three local governments in Romania, a district government inUkraine and in the first year at least 10 interested citizens to build a housing respecting local architecturalelements specific to Ukrainians (Hutsul) in this area.

Identify clearly the specific problems to be addressed by the Action and the perceived needs andconstraints of the target groups.Problems faced by this area

Romania: Ruscova Valley micro-region is composed of three localities that are situated in thecentral-northern Maramures County, on the border with Ukraine (and Verchovena Rahiv districts). It is amountainous area, isolated (including the highest peak. Maramures Mountains), 98% inhabited by ethnicUkrainians.- Ruscova Valley isolation from the rest of the country;- Lack of jobs;- Training lack and population migration - especially the young in Western Europe;- Establishment in the city and young families moving into more developed areas of western Romania;- Lack of local initiatives to promote local cultural values;- Realization of chaotic constructions without observing traditional local architecture;- Buildings constructed by people who work in the EU with two or three floors that badly damaged citylandscape;- Dyeing tacky houses;- Construction of wrought iron fences or other items that do not involve traditional products (wood orstone);- Reduce the number of houses built in a year to zero.

Ukraine: District Verchovena Ivan Frankivsk Region is located in the Southern Region,bordering the Transcarpathian region and Chernovtsy and Romanian-Ukrainian border to the south(including Ruscova Valley). This territory is mountainous, wooded, including the highest peaks ofMountains of the Ukraine (Hoverla, Petros, etc.)

Problems faced by this area:- Isolation from the rest of the country (it is considered the most isolated corner of Ukraine);- Lack of jobs;- Population migration training, especially the young in other regions of Ukraine or Europe;- Establishment of the city and young families moving into more developed areas Ukraine;- Existence in the area of business travel agencies which are not very well promoted;- Low financial resources to promote local cultural values Hutsul;- Very strong impact on the prevailing the denationalization from USSR;- Realization of chaotic construction without observing traditional local architecture;- Construction of wrought iron fences or other items that do not involve traditional products (wood stone);

- Reduced number of houses built of wood

In conclusion we can say that both regions face the same problems, people must cope with thetransition from a socialist to a capitalist economy, failing to promote their local cultural values, traditionsand customs. In pursuit of the most solid looking homes to consult with architects building houses

without good taste which in time will lead to refusal of tourists to our region passing our borders (notethat this territory is located in Central Europe in the Carpathian Mountains part of protected natural areas- natural parks). But, when changing attitudes and promoting their cultural values is not yet over passedwe believe that by hand to hand, through mutual support and the resumption of ties between the two sides

can transform our region into a prosperous place. Thus the Ukrainian, who already have more experiencein promoting cultural values of Hutsul can learn how to take new actions and promote cultural recoveryand perpetuation of cultural values inherited from generation to generation-ancestry

It should be remembered that between these two areas there have been both economic and sociallinks (there are families who are drawn to one side or another of the mountains), links with theestablishment of communist regimes stopped and were eradicated with difficulty after 1991. We mustremember that until the Second World War under the Poienile de Sub Munte village there were organizedfour exhibitions per year where they met Romanians that came from Iza Valley, Bistrita-Nasaud, ClujCounty, even with the Ukrainians in the Carpathians (Verchovena). Romanians and Ukrainians grain andlivestock were offered for sale (sheep, cows, oxen and derived food). Although in this corner of centralEurope Ukrainians / Hutsul have kept the identity of nation, language and customs, now came time torenew socio-cultural ties that once existed.

Although separated by mountains and the border between the states the Hutsul from MaramuresMountains continued to speak and to respect local customs and traditions. But for the continuity of suchsupport we need external impulse.

Demonstrate the relevance of the Action to the needs and constraints of the targetcountry(ies) or region(s) in general and to the target groups/final beneficiaries in particular andhow the Action will provide the desired solutions, in particular for the targeted beneficiaries.

States and border regions in the Transcarpathian region, including Romania and Ukraine arecharacterized by a wide variety of both natural and geographical conditions, as well as a range ofeconomic, social and cultural features common areas such as the existence of cultural interference, suchas Historical Maramures region (located on both sides of the Romanian-Ukrainian border on the TiszaRiver).

It should be noted that both areas are part of the region "Historical Maramures" - "Land ofMaramures, part of the Hutsul Ethnography. And although in different historical moments were part ofthe both Kingdom of Hungary, Principality of Transylvania, the Habsburg Empire, Austro-Hungary,Czechoslovakia or the corner of communist regimes in Central Europe the nation kept its identity,language and traditions - those of Hutsul now came the time to resume the socio-cultural ties from the

past.Today this territory is facing a process of abandonment of local cultural legacy specific to Hutsul

Residents have started to enjoy the benefits of "industrial era", forgetting / and abandoning at the sametime, language, customs and traditions of Ukrainian architecture of wood and stone legacy for centuries.So it was that nowadays young Hutsul people in Romania talk to each other in Romanian language (onlyto mention of language families and in young families Hutsul only speak Romanian language) folk are

left aside almost entirely (only a few at Christmas and Easter still wear old traditional clothes), no longerhold traditional weddings and about garments of old - just old people talking. Elders who disappear eachyear, with them disappear with and our cultural heritage. We no longer build homes that meet anyelement of traditional architecture - for example in the village Repedea since 2009 has not been built ahouse to meet specific elements of traditional architecture of Hutsul.

All these issues affect the maintenance and perpetuation of authentic local architecture, customsand traditions of Hutsul in the area (both from Romania and Ukraine), although whether it would be well-worth might be a tourist attraction and would implicitly contribute to sustainable rural communitiesallocated on both sides of Maramures Mountains and protected natural areas that attract millions oftourists annually throughout Europe.

Therefore, we consider that the results of this project will:- Will eliminate differences and obstacles in the development of collaboration across borders;

- Will jointly undertake new activities to preserve local cultural heritage (local architecture);- Will create new institutions (Hutsul Media Center)- Will initiate recovery and promoting of common cultural values (e.g. local architecture) in the target

Page 9 of 75


10/75

region;- Will help harness local customs and traditions using one of Hutsul Media Center;- Will perpetuate Hutsul local cultural heritage in this part of Europe.

All results will lead to a favorable meeting, promoting common cultural values and specifics.

Another outcome is that it will create conditions for strengthening the links between citizens of the twomicro-regions at the border, thus promoting the elimination of differences / barriers caused by the state

border.

Demonstrate the relevance of the Action to the priorities and measures of the Call forproposals.

This project falls under Priority 4 Support people to people cooperation institutionalcooperation and it meets Measure 4.1 because it will be:- Organizing a camp architecture involving architects from Romania and Ukraine;- Will take actions to protect, promote and popularize the common local cultural heritage;- Will revitalize the center of the local communities in Repedea - 5000 people will be rehabilitated andmodernized while retaining the architectural specificity of Hutsul (Ukrainians living in the Carpathian

Mountains), as well as having good practice model for other communities;- Will conduct 20 house plans / layouts to the architects participating in the camp of the local architectureof Hutsul to be popularized by the permanent exhibition at the premises of local authorities in the area.These model homes will meet the specific architectural elements of Hutsul;- Will develop a regulation endorsed by local governments to use local architectural elements in newconstruction in the area;- While the results of this project will lead to construction of houses with good appearance, keepingelements of architecture Hutsul will lead to an increase in the number of tourists visiting the area;- It will reduce the number of houses built without complying erratically and local architectural elements;- I hope I manage to attract the locals to use wood as a building material - specifically the Hutsul

population in the Carpathians;- Developing an Internet portal of the Hutsul living in Carpathian Mountains- Will take actions for setting up a Media Center of Hutsul for the recovery and revitalization oftraditions, local songs and common identity of Hutsul from Maramures Mountains (on both sides of the

border between Romania and Ukraine);- Will revive cultural activities in the Ukrainian minority on Ruscova Valley (Romania);

Demonstrate the relevance of the Action to the cross-cutting themes of the Programme:EQUAL Opportunities, Sustainability Development, And Territorial Cohesion.

Attributing acquisition contracts necessary to project implementation will be realized inconformity to Emergency Governmental Ordinance nr. 34/2006, with ulterior additions andmodifications, and by respecting the following principles:

- Indiscrimination- Equal treatment- Mutual reconnaissance- Transparency- Proportionality- Efficiency of public funds usage- Taking responsibility

There will be kept in mind that within all public acquisitions, indiscrimination at hiring bementioned as a primary responsibility of the providers, which will hire workforce from the localmarket and not only.Project advertising will also respect equality of chances and treatment between men and womenand will not contain, promote or provoke any forms of discrimination based on sex, ethnicorigin, race, religion or belief, disabilities, age, or sexual orientation.

Territorial cohesion: recent years have brought a significant dynamic in the EuropeanUnion area in an still undergoing consolidation: territorial cohesion. Under the Treaty ofLisbon's territorial cohesion became the third dimension of cohesion policy, in addition to social

and economic components.Assigned objective of territorial cohesion adds the dimension of the political process, especiallythe cross-sectoral and trans-regional (cross-border, trans-regional, etc..): It allows policy makersto look across Europe from a new perspective - not regional or national but to a cross-borderintegrated and macro-regional - which can help build their future territories under territorialcapital by providing the best opportunities in various geographical levels.Through this project we aim reducing development disparities between geographical regions inRuscova Valley from Romania and Rakhiv in Ukraine, the project is so constructed that bothterritories to benefit from long-term outcomes of the project - the development of cycling cross-

border joint tourism promotion, creating new jobs and work in tourism improving quality of lifeof citizens in the two regions.

Equal Opportunities:For writing the project we involved diverse social groups disadvantagedby direct consultation (people who live along the future trail biking, craftsmen, owners of houses thatcould accommodate tourists) and representatives of the applicant and partners.Management team and the

project implementation team will ensure that the principle isequal opportunities in the development ofproject materials, training programs and events that will be organized.Representatives of groups anddisadvantaged populations which are at risk or vulnerable (ethnic Ukrainians in Romania), poor rural

population, with many children or living in isolated hamlets, etc..) will be invited and encouraged toparticipate in project activities. In order to ensure access by persons with disabilities in the trainingcourses conducted in the project, courses will be held at locations equipped with access options for thistarget group.

The target group of the project was chosen so that there is not any discrimination among potentialbeneficiaries.Promoting equal opportunities was an important objective for the project team, being pursued in a

transparent selection of people from target groups and their involvement at all levels of projectimplementation.Project activities do not allow discrimination in access to training target groups. This project proposes anintegrated approach to entrepreneurship development, as evidenced by the structure of the target groups,each of which can also contribute to the sustainable development of local communities from RuscovaValley.

We mention that we comply with legislation on equal opportunities and treatment betweenwomen and men in employment and labor law, equal opportunities and non-discrimination, and we willtake into thoughts implementing all policies and practices of project which is not to make any distinction,

exclusion, restriction or preference, regardless of: race, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, socialclass, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, membership in a disadvantaged category, and any othercriterion which has the purpose or effect the restriction, removal of recognition, use or exercise, on equalterms, human rights and fundamental freedoms and rights recognized by law.

We try to respect non-discrimination and social inclusion of large masses of the population asfollows:- The target of the project consists of four towns with over 30,000 inhabitants;- Access to personal development will be made without any discrimination for ethnic groups in the area;Any person of any ethnic group with a focus on people targeted by the project, will have equal acces inthe project team.- There will be no discrimination between beneficiaries in urban and rural areas;- Among the beneficiaries will be both women and men;

This project will create the premise for the development of entrepreneurial skills of individuals in thetarget area, to increase labor market access for vulnerable people socially or economically inactive in the

Page 11 of 75


12/75

area by offering consulting services, job skills even in their locality without making these people to doefforts in moving to other locations. We mention that such a program - with support from both the directtarget groups has not yet been developed in the area.

A. Sustainable Development This project was developed considering the EU Sustainable

Development Strategy. The project activities follow the principles of sustainable development duringvarious stages of implementation, so as to ensure environmental protection, resources and bio-diversity.By the end of this project we aim that Ruscova Valley micro-region (Romania) - Rakhiv district(Ukraine), to have people better prepared to face current and future challenges and to act responsiblytowards future generations.For this purpose, for example,cyclo-tourism development in the area will beable to attract tourists to visit these places located in natural parks and so will help increase local revenues(provide accommodation and meals) and will reduce pressure on natural resources area (eg. exploitationof wood).The implementation of this project also means the implementation of sustainable regionaldevelopment strategy Ruscova Valley provides socio-economic development in the area takingconsidering the need to protect and perpetuation of natural resources.

In terms of cross-cutting issues this project will have positive effects:

- Hutsul minority (Ukraine) on Ruscova Valley in Romania through the promotion and revitalization ofthe promotion, will recover and perpetuate the cultural elements (architectural) specific to Hutsul living inCarpathian Mountains;- Raising cultural cooperation relations between the Valley Hutsul Ruscova and Hutsul RayonVerchovena which although will be part of the same ethnic group, the Hutsul have had cultural contactsfrom more than 50 years since the end of the Second World War since Romania and the Soviet Union

border was drawn, so that a significant population of Hutsul remained on its territory;- Sustainable development of the region - through this project we will contribute to sustainabledevelopment of micro-communities-Verchovena and Ruscova Valley region through preservation andconservation of local landscape - local communities are situated in the Natural Parks - combined with ahigh landscape value - and daily activities for the Hutsul (they are recognized as the very best craftsmenin woodworking - having brought them the news to the capitals of two countries)So while the area will not just be gross timber manufacturer to be carried by trailer but in other areas thewood will be processed locally by craftsmen in wood and young apprentices, adding value to local

products.Following the implementation of this project a regulation will be done - as a recommendation for thedevelopment and construction of housing must comply with the sustainable development of localcommunitiesAlso, by creating inside the Association Ivan Krevan a Media Center of Hutsul will lead the institutionalmaking of films, features, interviews on life of Hutsul from the area, thus contributing to the promotion,development and perpetuation of customs, traditions, songs, Christmas carols that we now know onlyfrom the elderly.All these activities from the project will lead this area to develop small business and agro-tourism, eco-

tourism, processing of higher value-added wood (houses, vacation homes, furniture, etc.)

Demonstrate the relevance of the Action to the selected project nature: symmetrical orintegrated. Justify your choice of the project nature.

This project has an integrated character because cross-border activity will take place both inUkraine and in Romania, as follows:

1. Advertising the project design will be done in the county of Maramures (Romania) and thedistrict Verchovena (Ukraine)

2. Organizing the camp of traditional architecture and organization of exhibitions, traditionalarchitecture with the results of camp will be in every locality of the project target area

3. Developing and approving a set of rules needed to maintain the architectural development andperpetuation of traditional architectural elements will be done jointly with local government

representatives in the target area of the project and experts in the field, setting up a Media Center of TheHutsul (TV studio) to promote recovery of cultural heritage of Hutsul of one side of the Romanian-Ukrainian border and a portal to promote cultural values of Hutsul to congeal the collaboration between

Page 12 of 75


13/75

the two micro-regions (to create a common cultural communication bridge), relationships that willcontinue after completion of the project - multimedia site will be accessed by Hutsul in Romania andUkraine - creating a feeling of belonging, even after 50 years of separation between the same people(ethnic group);

4. Making a movie to promote traditional architecture Hutsul elements in micro-VerchovenaRuscova Valley region and its free distribution is intended to stimulate and guide local people to buildhouses in traditional style of Hutsul;

Demonstrate the relevance of the Action to the main cooperation criteria.We believe that by implementing the project area will be touched by the cross-border partnership

the following principles:1. - joint development project: to write this project partners have taken into sight the needs and

constraints of the project target area: the local architectural heritage of Hutsul abandonment, lack of toolsfor promoting and explaining the locals about the importance of promoting the recovery and perpetuationof local architecture, poor promotion of local cultural values, lack of a media center for the promotion,

recovery and perpetuation of local cultural values of Hutsul in Romania (Ruscova Valley micro region)and Ukraine (Verchovena district), lack of best practice models in the development of new construction .Each partner has contributed on writing the grant application ideas, materials research, statistics, etc.

2. - joint implementation of the project: each partner will participate in the smoothimplementation of the project by making it available to the various resources available: human resources,financial resources, material resources, facilities, etc. These partners are interested in local factors (policymakers) who understand the need to promote material and cultural patrimony of the Hutsul in CarpathianMountains because only thus can develop and perpetuate the local cultural heritage of Hutsul contributingto the sustainable development of poor border area while rich in natural resources (forests, pastures,meadows, magnificent landscape).

3. - joint financing: the project partners will contribute by commitment, each in proportion to theinvolvement and financial resources available to ensure co-financing of these projects. Because each

partner understands that if you intervene at this point in the promotion and popularization of traditionallocal architecture will lead to multiplication of the money invested while bringing prosperity to the borderregion-Verchovena Ruscova Valley.

4. common personnel: architectural organization of the camp, exhibitions camp results in thecreation of the Media Centre and Site of Hutsul and multimedia to promote local cultural values, peoplewill participate in both Romania and Ukraine. Also, the project team will be composed of representativesof both organizations in Romania and representatives of organizations from Ukraine.This project is thus thought that it involves all partners in project implementation, so that in futureeveryone would have enough experience to ensure project sustainability for new cross-border projects.

Description of the Action and its effectiveness (max. 12 pages)

Provide a description of the proposed Action including, where relevant, background informationthat led to the formulation of the Action. This should include:

Expected results (max 3 pages). Indicate how the Action will improve the situation of targetgroups/final beneficiaries as well as the technical and management capacities of target groupsand/or any local partners where applicable. Be specific and quantify results as much as possible.Indicate notably foreseen publications. Describe the possibilities for replication and extension of theAction outcomes (multiplier effects).

Following the implementation of this project in micro-Ruscova Valley border region (Romania)-Verchovena (Ukraine) we will show the following results:- Architecture organized camp for 7 days in micro-Verchovena Ruscova Valley region;- 10 Romanian and Ukrainian architects participating in the camp;

- 20 homes plans / layouts made by architects respecting local architecture;- Six permanent exhibitions with plans / layouts of houses proposed by the architects of the camp whichmeet specific architectural elements of Hutsul;

- A regulation endorsed by local governments to use local architectural elements in new construction inthe area;- A local community center (in Repedea) rehabilitated and modernized while retaining the architecturalspecificity of Hutsul (Ukrainians living in the Carpathian Mountains);

- A cultural house rehabilitated - respecting local traditional architecture based on wood;- Increasing the number of tourists visiting the area;- Reduce the number of houses built without complying erratically to local architectural elements;- Attracting locals to use wood as a building material - specifically the Hutsul population in theCarpathians;- Develop and approve a set of rules needed to maintain the architectural development and perpetuation oftraditional architectural elements;- Establishment of a Media Center of Hutsul (mini TV studio) to harness local cultural heritage ofUkrainians (Hutsul) on both sides of the border;- Developing an Internet portal of the Hutsul from Carpathian MountainsThe situation of target group:

The implementation of this project will create conditions for the promotion and enhancement of

cultural material (local architecture) of the Hutsul from Maramures Mountains.By the materials made (models, house plans) locals will realize that a modern and beautiful house

can also be using elements of local architecture, inherited from ancestors and old-men and the worldaround us will learn the tradition of timber in the Hutsul culture. They will understand that if they build ahouse with local architecture, particularly, will increase the value of house and living area and cancontribute, each in its own way to promote and preserve cultural heritage of Hutsul for centuries. Also,this, by the uniqueness of the houses in the area will attract tourists to make expenses they will help createnew jobs (restaurants, lodging, guides) and thereby to sustainable development of our land borders whilelocals will start to build green houses, wooden ones, like their ancestors did and which will lead to thedevelopment of local economy in timber construction. Wood forests in the area is now led by machineryin the form of logs, but if in the future we will build a house of wood, processed wood will be higher inthe area, creating new jobs and in time why not companies to make wooden boxes for export or otherareas of the country.

We believe that an activity with amazing results will be the Media Centre for Hutsul part of IvanKrevan Association pole which will be in the continuous development and promotion on various mediachannels (TV, radio, online) promoting cultural values of the Hutsul in Carpathian Mountains andespecially in Romania. The material base will be the means to promote and perpetuate traditional valuescommon in this part of Europe.

We estimate that after the project we will significantly increase the number of cultural activitiesin the towns of the project target area.

This series of concrete actions to develop and promote local cultural values will be a model ofgood practice for other local and regional government, which will take the idea and will replicate in theirown community, because information travels in this area and spreads from man to man and the power of

example is crucial.

Describe the possible stakeholders (national, local government, private sector, etc.), theiranticipated role and/or potential attitudes towards the project.

Factors that could influence performance, implementing and ensuring the sustainability of theproject would be:

1. Romania's Government through the Department for interethnic relations will be a strongfinancial support for the development of new cultural events to promote cultural values of Hutsul fromRuscova Valley.

2. Union of Ukrainians in Romania could support new cultural activities in the area. Unionrepresentatives could make cultural Romanian authorities lobbying for funding of actions to perpetuatethe local cultural heritage.

3. Department for Culture, Cults and National Cultural Heritage Maramures which could promotethe project results to the whole county of Maramures in various ways: exchange of experience,

presentation of the cultural circular draft to all homes in Maramures etc.Page 14 of 75


15/75

4. City and town council of Ruscova, Repedea, Bistra, Poienile de Sub Munte from Romania andZelene Town Hall and Verchovena District Council would support in Ukraine the cultural act in theirlocalities and could financially support the implementation of local cultural events;

5. Maramures Mountains Natural Park in the area whose role is to preserve environmental

conditions and local cultural heritage could support some cultural events: festivals of Christmas carols,Hutsul culture camps, collection of traditional Ukrainian songs etc.

6. Maramures County Council and Verchovena District Council could take action to supporthousing construction and traditional architecture by organizing exchanges of experience to contribute tothe promotion and proliferation of project in other areas of our region.

7. Traders in the area could be attracted to conduct business in the woodworking, building housesand other wooden products opening minds and roads to the local community through sustainabledevelopment of natural heritage (forests) and cultural (elements of traditional architecture) and with itthey could earn some money for sponsorships could make a partial financial support of culture of Hutsulin rural areas.

8. Personalities coming from the project's target area, which already hold key positions inadministration, business, and culture might be a cultural association to support Hutsul cultural act.

9. Romanian National Television (TVR) in Cluj-Napoca television station in cooperation withIvan Krevan can make a regular show on the life of Ukrainians (Hutsul in this part of the country).

Describe the estimated added value of the cross-border cooperation in the Action (Whatmeasurable impact will be generated by the project on both sides of the border?)

We believe this project will occur with the following value-added results in the relationshipbetween border communities in Romania and Ukraine:- We will hold a camp of organized architecture for 7 days in micro-region of Verchovena RuscovaValley, to be attended by 10 Romanian and Ukrainian architects participating in the camp which willmake plans for homes 20 / models made by observing architecture local architects (Hutsul)- Six permanent exhibitions with plans / designs proposed by the architects of the camp houses andHutsul that meet specific architectural elements - the model for the locals who want to build a housecausing a fashion among the communities. We know very well that in this area exchange of experienceand assumption of existing models has very great influence on Hutsul (locals)- Rules will be appropriated by a local government use of architectural elements of Hutsul in newconstruction area so that both government partners from Romania and Ukraine will recommend peoplewho want to build a home the opportunity and advantages of a house built of wood;- In the village we will soon arrange a civic center - Hutsul venue for the area - preserving thearchitectural specificity of Hutsul (Ukrainians living in the Carpathian Mountains), which will become a

best practice model for other rural communities and citizens;- Will reduce the number of houses built without complying erratically and architectural elements byattracting local residents to use wood as a building material - specifically the Hutsul population in theCarpathians;

- Will increase the number of tourists who will visit this border area helping increase local revenues;- Locals will focus on wood construction - thereby creating jobs for carpenters and joiners andprofessional schools in the area will not produce unemployed carpenters, but young people as soon asthey leave from school will be able to practice the profession of worker wood. While policies are good

business that will refine wood by its processing and direct sale of logs as we do today.- Hutsul will establish a Media Centre (mini TV studio) to harness local cultural heritage of Ukrainians(Hutsul) on both sides of the border and through the internet portal Carpathian Mountains - will anyone

be able to access the Internet find stories, histories, stories about life, culture, traditions, economic andtourist activities of this population. Ivan Krevan Association will strengthen its position as a pole ofinvolvement and promotion of cultural values, traditional and natural Ruscova Valley micro-region, thuscontributing to sustainable development of natural communities in parks where they belong.

Expected environmental impact:Does your project have a positive effect on the environment and does it regard the aspects ofenvironmental protection?

Page 15 of 75


16/75

We believe that by promoting and preserving local cultural values in this corner of the world wewill be able to motivate them to understand that local people can get income from the promotion ofcultural local heritage (traditional houses, local architecture, songs, performances, costumes), stimulatingthe development of tourism, not only from deforesting in the area. Our action falls within the objectives

of Maramures Mountains Natural Park which is actively involved in sustainable development of thesemicro-regions and local natural and cultural heritage is a prerequisite for sustainable development. At this

point in the area are very many poor families who walk in the woods and stealing wood from the forestand sell logs, without being processed, no added value is in time but we hope that by targeting localtimber for construction and preservation of local architecture - local people to have a job helping in theconstruction of houses and thus decrease the human pressure on existing natural resources. Alsoaccording to research wood is one of the most organic materials (increasing by absorbing carbon dioxide,

processed using minimum energy and is very durable - a wooden house can take 200 years), whilecement, reinforced concrete bricks are obtained by heat treatment with high consumption of energy(electricity and heat) and often using renewable energy sources. Also, the project's target area iscomposed mostly of forests so that there is less CO2 emissions during the transportation of constructionmaterial, knowing that a big factor is the pollution trucks (e.g. brick on Ruscova Valley today is brought

from Hungary - from more than 400 km from Satu Mare sand - from more than 200 km, iron concreteCluj county - over 200 km).

So wood, with stone building is one of the elements friendly and healthy environments to live inwooden houses.

Does the project has an influence and in what rate for the emission of pollution or harmfulenvironmental impact (increased border crossing traffic, number of the tourists, inhabitants)?

We cannot say that this project would not impact on the environment. Every human action hasnegative repercussions. But we recommend that residents use the local housing natural products (woodand stone) and the fact that we create local events that residents will get some revenue will lead to lowerhuman pressure on nature.

Does your project contribute to the reconstruction of natural heritages?The local cultural heritage will contribute measurably to the preservation of natural conditions in

the area. Hutsul elders say its a god sin to dirt water or recklessly throw some objects that could berevalorificated (recycled). Using top of the timber in the area will help create jobs and promote a healthylifestyle as recommended by the policy of Maramures Mountains Natural Park.

Do the actions of your project have an effect on the NATURA 2000 areas and otherVulnerable Zones and natural assets?

This project will be implemented in Maramures Mountains Natural Park which has submitted aproject to implement the Nature 2000 program. We believe that this project has no negative effects onflora and fauna of the area. Even through our actions we perform tasks of which we could demonstratethat in this area Hutsul love nature and especially mountain which they feel very attracted to it (this

results from local songs and stories).

Does your project decrease the use of non-renewable energies?We do believe that when local people will understand the advantages of building houses keeping

the local architecture and construction in the area using materials (wood and stone) will decrease thepressure on non-renewable energy use. For example, cement production is one of the major sources ofcarbon dioxide in the world and increasing demand for this product. Unlike other industries, cementsuffers from a problem of chemical reactors which creates and releases large amounts of CO2 into andout of the product. 60% of the total emissions from cement production only occur in the chemical

process. The same happens in the production of brick, BCA, etc. While it is known that the timber israised to at least 60 years until it is exploited and in this period retains a huge amount of CO2 (greenhousegas effect). We know that forests provide many important benefits everyone. Forests are home to over

half the species living on earth, are also helping to slow global warming by storing and sequestration, aresources of wood products, help regulate rainfall, are essential sources of food and water and bring thesame enormous advantages for aesthetic, spiritual and recreational to millions of people. As an important

Page 16 of 75


17/75

global carbon deposits, forests play a fundamental role in influencing the Earth's climate.And through our project we want to mark in this area Hutsul a good relationship with nature - to

consume natural resources only as needed and use them with head and in a sustainable way.

Does the project enhance the preservation of biodiversity?We believe so. Because the project contributes to sustainable development of our part of the

Maramures Mountains Natural Park. This institution was founded to contribute to local biodiversityconservation taking into account the specific site and the preservation and promotion of local culturalvalues. Through this project we made a step forward in promoting eco-tourism in the area (cultural eventsalways attract tourists who will enjoy activities such as local cultural and natural beauties of the area andthe final result will be that these tourists will leave money in the community - for accommodation, meals,local transportation, handicrafts - and changing the behavior of residents in this shift to offer touristservices.

Does your project have an aim to raise the awareness of the population regarding theenvironmental and nature protection issues? Describe the actions planned.

The project is one with a cultural impact (changing local attitudes) but with it we will rememberthe events that created it, and those that it is important to have good behavior to the environment.

By organizing thematic exhibitions with models of traditional wooden houses we want to realizethe locals that they live in protected areas (parks) and is important both for themselves and for theirchildren's future to build houses using local resources (natural, healthy and less polluting) and providelocal architectural elements in their future home. The Multimedia Center of Hutsul and web site willmake local public awareness campaigns on environmental issues and nature protection.

Planned actions:- Local architectural achievement camp;- The achievement of permanent exhibitions with plans, traditional house designs proposed by architects;- Development of public meetings on local awareness on the use of local building elements (wood, stone)- Carrying out awareness campaigns on local environmental issues and protection of nature throughMedia Center and Site of Hutsul
