alocatie

Alocatie is a Romanian noun often written without diacritics as alocatie. It derives from Latin allocatio and, in general, denotes the act of assigning or distributing resources, or the amount that has been assigned.

In public administration and budgeting, alocarea refers to the process of designating funds or resources to specific programs, projects, or units. The term appears in official documents as alocare, alocarea fondurilor, or alocarea bugetară, indicating the controlled allocation of resources within a budget or plan.

In social policy, alocație is commonly used to describe a state benefit provided to families. In Romania and Moldova, the phrase alocația pentru copii refers to child allowances—the recurring payments intended to help cover the costs of raising children. Eligibility criteria and payment amounts are defined by law and can change with budgetary decisions.

In other contexts, alocare is used to describe the allocation of non-monetary resources, such as time, personnel, or materials, within organizational planning or project management. In information technology and computing, related terms such as alocare and alocarea memoriei denote memory allocation and resource allocation in software and systems, though the standard Romanian spelling for these technical uses is often alocare rather than alocatie.

Notes: the form alocatie without diacritics is common in informal writing, but the spelling and usage depend on the meaning and on Romanian orthographic norms.
