ABSTRACT. – The Attraction Area of the University of Arts of Târgu Mureş. The fundament of the knowledge-based society is the culture of permanent learning/life long learning, which was mentioned as a goal by the signers of Bologna Declaration (1999). The development of education must be one of the fundamental segments of regional development, in the sense that it must look for solutions for the moderation of regional inequalities. The current educational policies cannot ignore these recommendations that are based on results of scientific research. The aim of this study is to dynamically analyse the attraction area of the University of Arts of Târgu Mureş between 1990 and 2013. It focuses on fundamental social and economical processes, going beyond analyzing the space-time dimension of higher education.
