  Abstract:  Territorial Identity Construction and Deconstruction Mechanisms for the “Lands” of Romania. This paper approaches the mechanisms that worked for building the identity of the “lands” of Romania. The focus is on the significance that identity had and still has in ensuring the functioning of the regional system. Therefore, the first part of our paper lists the mechanisms that rendered the “lands” as functional and original areas. The second part of our paper shows the deconstruction mechanisms that we identified especially for the 20th century when they were highly obvious and an approach of territorial identity in relation to sustainable development, that is identity as a factor of stimulating or of hindering the development of a region, of a “land”. The case of the Land of Năsăud is discussed in order to support our point of view throughout this paper.
