The Evolution and Structures of Population of Someş Valley Microregion, within the period 1992-2009. The geodemographic resources are a dynamic part of a system, all changes that occur over time are determined and conditioned by the quality of the population and by the capacity of communities to "regenerate". Someş Valley microregional system is a deep rural area, facing a number of weaknesses in human resources, in fact, like all the Romanian rural areas. The accelerated decline in the number of inhabitants, by 20.2% between 1992-2009, resulted in the degradation of the quality of population (structures), a series of geodemographic and social risks starting to take shape in the space marked by rurality. The study of geodemographic components of the microregional space has two aspects: one related to the numerical component (total population), which expresses the quality of labour and the potential consumption of goods and services in an area and the other one related to the structural component, which expresses the quality and variety of social, cultural and economic activities of the area. Determining the state of the geodemographic component of a territorial system is a primary condition in the process of spatial planning and landscaping, the geodemographic resources being the cause and effect couple over which all changes that, in time, put their mark on the territorial system are reflected.
