  Abstract:  

Levels of Spatial Natural Organization at the Contact between Apuseni Mountains and the Transylvanian Depression. The vertical organization of space at the contact between Apuseni Mountains and the Transylvanian Depression starts from the fundamental element of this territory – the morphology. The leveled distribution of landforms, along with the specific differentiation of climatic, biogeographic and soil elements, facilitated the shaping of three large levels of spatial natural organization: the high level (800-900 m), which is almost exclusively grazing land, the intermediate level (550-650 m), of the basins and suspended valley corridors (the first settlement level of the contact area), and the low, valley level (450-550 m), which is the main settlement level.

KEYWORDS: spatial levels, natural organization, contact between Apuseni Mountains and the Transylvanian Depression, vertical organization of space
