Description
Summary:The present paper aims to assess the suitability for spatial planning of a depression area. For this purpose, a spatial analysis model was developed using GIS techniques, integrating databases representing the morphometric parameters of the relief (depth of fragmentation, density of fragmentation, surface exposure, slope) and additional criteria (land use, the geology and the soil erosion rate.) These were qualitatively evaluated on a scale from 1 to 5 (1-very favourable; 5-unfavourable) and were used to generate the map of relief suitability for spatial planning. The obtained results highlight the fact that the analysed area has high and very high favourability for spatial planning, both as a whole and at the level of the individual analysis of the territorial administrative units.
