THE INFLUENCE OF LANDFORM ON HUMAN SETTLEMENTS IN THE LOPADEA HILLS

Abstract

 The morphographic and morphometric features of the Lopadea Hills (about 320 km2) area’s major and derived relief facilitated the building of 39 rural settlements and one town alone among them, Ocna Mureş. The following types of settlement location are found in the Lopadea Hills: 21 settlements (52.5%) in the main, large peripheral valleys, on terraces and in floodplains; 5 (12.5%) villages, in the secondary valleys, tributaries of the peripheral ones; 14 villages (35%) in the upper reaches of lower-order tributary valleys, occupying small basinettes or confluence areas.
