ional development, sustainability, and marginalization 30 autocorrelation will be presented. The relations between the three
sets of parameters exist largely for the proposed indicators.
We may disclose some partial conclusions from the application of
quantitative models. There is a West-East gradient of the evolution
of the IT&C industry, according to structural gradients of a conti-
nental type, inducing a gap between extroverted cities of the West,
with improved accessibility to Western Europe and other parts of
the national territory. This is true both of the states’ regions lev-
el, and at the subnational level. Leaving aside Bucharest, behaving
in the logic of capital cities, in the case of the secondary cities in
Romania there is an evident asynchronism in the evolution of the
IT&C industry: Timisoara has already stabilized to over 9000 peo-
ple working in this sector in 2008, Cluj-Napoca began its ascent af-
ter 2009, and Iasi, after a fluctuated evolution during the crisis, has
made spectacular leaps since 2012.
The differentiated capacity of the capital and of the secondary and
tertiary cities to generate economic growth is reflected in the evo-
lution of the ICT sector through the hierarchical gradients. At least
in Romania, tertiary cities are less dynamic, but there are signs of
growth in the coming period for some cities (Miercurea Ciuc, Satu
Mare, Suceava, etc.).
Key words: IT&C, IT&O, secondary cities, tertiary cities, gradient,
diffusion, potential of spatial interaction, weighted barycentre,

Orang Asli, the aborigines of Malaysia have settled in as early as
11,000 BC and accounted for less than 0.5 percent of the popu-
lation. They are engaged in agriculture and live in the interior. To
ensure adequate access to health, education and to improve their
socio-economic conditions, many have been resettled in Regroup-
ment schemes throughout the country. Some resettlement schemes
have been a success while others face some problems. This paper
analyses the resettlement schemes of these Asli with a focus on
