  Abstract:  The Geodemographic Coordinates of a Progressive Rural System from 1990 to 2002. Case Study: Rebra Commune, Bistriţa-Năsăud County. Some significant changes appeared in Rebra after 1989 and during the period between the two censuses (the 7th of January 1992 and the 18th of March 2002). First, the most important ones involve the following four phenomena: (1) the decrease in the number of births, (2) the increase of unemployment, (3) the intense emigration and (4) the constant development of the services and of the commercial activities within the private sector. Secondly, as far as the demographic structure is concerned, the women`s percentage is in decline, the ethnic level is homogenous (approximately 100% Romanians), the confessional structure presents an Orthodox majority followed by Neo-protestants and the professional activities imply the dominance of the people employed in agriculture and in the winning of timber. Then, the population has a high degree of vitality (the young group maintains itself at over one third of the people of Rebra). As a result, Rebra is a territorial system where the dialectics imposed by the favorable and restrictive socio-economic factors determined, progressively, the appearance of a functional organism, from both a demographic and an economic perspective.
