The assessment of the morphological regional system Braşov-Prahova Valley functionality
Journal Title: Geographia Napocensis - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The relief is an aspect of the geographical environment, which influence or determine the location and spatial features - functional human habitat. The morphometric traits, morphographical, morphogenetic and morphodynamic, which can be recognized favorability and restrictiveness, conditional relief in different sizes, shapes, texture and even the economic functions of settlements. At present it appears that the valley-slope systems have become intense concentration axis while human activities, even in areas vulnerable to natural processes of risk (flood-plains, slopes with high instability, active alluvial cones, cleared land, scarp mountains, wetlands, etc.). Moreover, landforms in morphodynamic equilibrium were subjected to human pressure gradually, sometimes anthropogenic load exceeding the maximum support, frequently resulting in dysfunctional situations of risk induced by geomorphic processes: landslides, heavy erosion, landfalls, compactions, swamps, mudflows, etc.
