THE CONTEXT OF THE GEOMORPHOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN URBAN AREA OF PIATRA-NEAMȚ CITY

Abstract

The context of the geomorphological processes in urban area of Ppiatra-Neamț city. The paper approches the issue induced by the geomorphological processes in the development and planning of Piatra-Neamț city. The methodology used for this study has implied the identification of the slope`s geomorphological processes: rock fallings and landslides produced due to the clay bedrock, precipitation`s water infiltration, deforestation and other human interventions. The identification of these processes was followed by their clasification and inventory and was continued with the mapping process of the affected areas from the territory, such as: southern and western sides of Cozla Hill, the south-western side of Pietricica Hill, Bâtca Doamnei Hill, Humăriei Hill and Vulpea Hill. The geomorphological processes from the study area induce restriction in the development and planning of the city through their associated risks. Furthermore is necesary to search a new methodology to approach the risks induces by the geomorphological processes and this shall imply predictibility, control, risk studies and preservation of the affected areas. The given study is practicaly useful in identifying the development measures for the urban areas by being part of the territorial planning and urban studies.
