Abstract:
The population of the Delta has always been sparse, the semi-aquatic environment has resulted a density about of 5 inhabitants / km2. In summer, the influx of tourists triples the population. The population counts 14,583 inhabitants, of which 12,666 Romanians (87%), 1438 Lipovans (10%), 299 different Ukrainians (1%). These populations have mixed up, as evidenced by the vocabulary of the spoken languages in the delta, especially the fishery terms. The population of the Danube Delta has experienced massive declines in population since 1990, which were much higher than those recorded in the country. The paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of some population forecasting models.
