Valences of the Geospatial Identities and the Preparation of the Unitary Modern Development. At 90 years from the setting up of the first Romanian university in Transylvania (1 October 1919, Cluj-Napoca), it can be asserted that this institution answered to the urge for progress and modern development in this part of Europe. The framework for such an important step was achieved through some geo-economic mutations that affected the traditional geospatial identities in Transylvania. The economic and social transformations in the period around the 1859 Unification and those that preceded and followed the I World War brought changes in the traditional activities within the geoidentities. In this way, “tăreni” (peasants), „bârseni” (inhabitants of the Bârsa Country), „mărgineni” (inhabitants from the Sibiu border villages), „câmpeni” (inhabitants of plain areas), „pădureni” (inhabitants of the Pădureni district, a forested area in Hunedoara County) etc. were urged to alternate their traditional activities with some new ones, industrial, commercial or cultural. In the same context, mutations appeared both in teaching conducting and education; the emphasis turned slightely from preceptors and clerics to professors and engineers. The new university was assigned with this mission.. Our analysis is based on the following assertion: ”Humankind lives geographically and expresses itself historically”. In this respect, a geographical-historical overview of life organization throughout time in Transilvania is given. Its stability over time, human resources, material production, the Romanian language or the eagerness towards learning are among the most valuable geospatial identities valences. Gradually, the geospatial identities change their status, somehow confirming that “history is a moving geography”.
