Natural Risk Regionalization in the District of Cluj

Abstract

The geomorphologic processes are usually limited as area of occurrence. They can be localized punctually, but the transformations they induce are irreversible and can produce very important environmental changes such as landscape transformations, loss of human lives, destructions of elements of the cultural heritage or taking agricultural lands out of use. In this paper, we tried to establish a regionalization of the geomorphologic processes at risk by applying a weightening method that considers both the favourable and triggering factors for this type of processes.
