THE TYPOLOGY OF RURAL SETTLEMENTS WITHIN THE TRASCĂU MOUNTAINS, ALBA COUNTY. Authors: GABRIELA ADINA LAZĂR. |

Abstract: The typology of rural settlements within the Trascău Mountains, Alba County. By means of its natural and anthropogenic elements, the morphological unit of Trascău Mountains is identified as a complex area which allowed and encouraged the development of human communities in a strict relation and dependence with its hydrographical and edaphic components. Regarding the anthropogenic elements, within the Trascău Mountains one can easily notice the dominance of human settlements within the depressionary areas and valleys, while the higher parts of the mountain area and the plateaus possess more scattered, isolated settlements as a direct consequence of the less favourable conditions for their development due to the morphology of the landforms. The depopulation processes of the rural areas, more pronounced nowadays, are the result of the increased demand of the population for better life standards. The majority of the younger inhabitants from the rural areas migrate to urban centres either in search of a new, better paid place of employment, either for the establishment of a family, in an area where, the primary requirements are more at hand. The natural resources of the Trascău Mountains can be highlighted only with and by means of its human component, the only one which can truly dictate the social and cultural evolution of the rural areas, by means of active involvement in the decision making processes, not only regarding the exploitation of the natural resources, but also regarding the interdependence and mutual correlations between the communities and the component elements of the entire geocomplex. Keywords: typology, favorability, human settlements, rural areas, geocomplex. |
