: The smart city concept is primarily grounded on the use of technology to provide robust solutions to the complex urban problems and endorse sustainable development practices to enhance the citizen’s quality of life. The use of technology for citizen participation is indispensable for effective city planning, especially at the local level. The study attempts to identify notions regarding a technological approach to city planning in the form of variables through literature and eventually categorize them as catalysts and hurdles for the eloquent participatory city planning. The study is based on a primary survey with city planning experts. The adaptability of the identified variables is assessed through the perception of the experts, weighed on the five-point Likert scale. The findings intend to facilitate policy makers and practitioners in highlighting the use of technology in a city planning framework.

: The NEET concept, an acronym for “Not in Education, Employment or Training” is used as of 2010 within the European Union for describing a category of youths with ages between 16 and 24 years, who are not professionally employed, nor pursuing any educational or vocational training program. Also as of 2010, on the political agenda of the European Union were included in the discussion the issues related to this category regarding the labor market addressing this, diminishing unemployment, and finding solutions so that as many as possible NEET young Europeans might be effectively employed. Romania’s goals must be updated with the purpose of integrating the situation of the young Romanian NEET, the gender perspective, and their needs of employment on the labor market in the future planning. In this context, the paper presents statistics and national strategic documents, ways of monitoring and analyzing the prevalence of labor market vulnerability, as well as the quantification of issues that are met and/or are created by the young NEETs, because labor market exclusion most often than not results in financial difficulties and their extended dependence on family, which might slow down the process of personal development.

In the first part of this article, we present an analysis of the concept of violent behaviour in various social contexts and in the international sociological literature. In the second part, we approach the concrete factors that favor the manifestation of violence in different conjunctures, in Romania and in the world, as there is the problem of consequences determined by the widespread mentality of acceptance / tolerance of the domination of masculinity in social life, but also the problem of excessive popularization of the violence subculture through the media. The perspective of the increased incidence of social violence is also addressed as an effect of the chronic phenomenon of poverty in certain types of families. The data and information used come from international and national sources as WHO, UN or NIS Bucharest, but also from the scientific results of the authors who belong to the Research Institute for Quality of Life, Romanian Academy, Bucharest.
