Abstract:
The study represents a detailed analysis of the propagation of landslides on a key sector in
the District of Călăraşi - an area strongly affected by slope processes. The analysis was
based on topographic maps at scale 1: 25000 (year 1970) orthophotos (year 2007) with a
resolution of 40 cm on the field research. With the use of GIS was evaluated the
influence of lithology, geomorphological conditions and the use of terrain on the temporal
dynamics and spatial distribution of landslides. Using these techniques were determined
the number of landslides (104) and their main characteristics (size, type, impact on
communities etc.).
