Abstract:
The given article is dedicated to Middle Prut Plain’s erosion susceptibility evaluation using factorial analysis and methodology of principal component analysis implemented by
Geographical Informational System GRASS. Susceptibility evaluation is executed in a qualitative mode, and the results have preliminary character, for further quantitative and
more precise study. This type of natural hazards analysis offers information on probable localization and severity of erosion phenomena, as well as their manifestation probability
in a given place.
