“…According to the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][22][23][24][25], when the T , igani migrators first arrived from the South in the Romanian Principalities it was the during the late XIV century. Due to their skin color and cultural characteristics, they were initially seen as enemies and enslaved [22,23].…”

“…Our analysis of the settlement pattern also revealed that the largest T , igani communities formed in mixed Romanian/Hungarian/Saxon villages and in deserted Saxon villages. We mapped the pattern of T , igani migration based on the national censuses data [17], compared that to the literature written about T , igani/Roma/Gypsy migration and found they do match [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The GIS analysis confirmed the T , igani groups migration from South to the North through Central Romania and then to the West towards Hungary.…”

“…Finally, we developed theories about the T , igani s unique attributes that seem to be generating their adaptability, constantly comparing our findings against the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and the results of our direct observational activities in June 2017 and between June 2020 and May 2021. Living among the T , igani community enabled us to observe closely the behaviors of the T , igani and listen to their narratives regarding their motivations, hopes and plans.…”

“…The term Roma has been advanced by the United Nations and Council of Europe. Klimova-Alexander (2005) [5] explained how Roma elites are establishing a new identity and constructing imagined communities based on the United Nations' and the Council of Europe's promotion of the term Roma. We use the term T , igani instead.…”

“…This approach reflects the most important features for the critical functionality of the individual Geosystems [16]. There might be a large research literature about the Roma/Gypsy [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], but few of the studies offer praise for the T , igani nor have they asked the type of questions related to adaptability and the T , igani's peculiar system of community. Our research aims to develop new contextualized theories with the objective of discovering general patterns that hold for a community [2].…”

Romanian rural villages are struggling to survive present times when youngsters leave for a better life in the city while elders work the land like a hundred years ago. Our paper integrates human environments research with public health preparedness, presenting the Țigani (Gypsy/Roma) ethnic group from rural Romania as an example to the world. The future security of mankind will require a new understanding of the human place in its environment. That will lead to a new society, not the most powerful or intelligent, but the one that is more adaptable to changes, with sensitive and interconnected community members. Therefore, the Țigani ethnic group that fought for its rights and flourished despite unfavorable odds, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, represents the best example for a new world that prioritizes humans, promotes health and wellbeing, facilitating innovation and transformative networks environmental integration. This research attempts to quantify the Țigani′s unique attributes that helped their communities survive and made them more adaptive to change. Always marginalized, they identified the other ethnic groups’ weaknesses to penetrate the villages and learned to use the smartphone apps to communicate, for their trades, coppersmith, metal roof tiles and drainage systems. Our research was based on Geographical Information System, Microsoft Power Bi analytics data visualization tools and statistical analysis with SPSS V20 to demonstrate what enables their flourishing and what resistance they face locally. We argue that the Țigani′s intense social cooperation, strong sense of family, community and mutual assistance helped them to fight COVID-19, generating their significant adaptability to the societal changes and their power to keep intact their cultural identity. The results show how the constant growing Țigani population changed and may change Romania′s rural environments in the future.

Na temelju objavljenih izvora, dokumenata iz fonda Socijalističkog saveza radnog naroda Jugoslavije i Socijalističkog saveza radnog naroda Hrvatske, jugoslavenskog i stranog tiska te dostupne literature, u ovom radu analiziraju se ključni događaji u okviru međunarodnog romskog pokreta u razdoblju 1971‒1981, njihov društvenopolitički kontekst te uloga Roma iz Jugoslavije u njima. Tada su održana tri svjetska kongresa i utemeljena je Međunarodna romska unija kao prva trajna globalna romska organizacija te su se intenzivirali odnosi između Roma u svijetu i Indije. U radu se prikazuju političke aktivnosti romskih predstavnika iz različitih republika SFRJ, kao i aktivnosti istaknutog jugoslavenskog diplomata Aleša Beblera, koji je Rome podržavao u zahtjevima za priznanje statusa narodnosti u Jugoslaviji.
