Morphometrical characteristics of the Transylvanian Plain relief. The morphometric characteristics of the relief were computed directly from the digital elevation model which was created from the 1:25.000 topographic maps. The main computed parameters were height, inclination, slope exposure, fragmentation depth and density, as well as the plan and the profile curvatures. In order to distinguish as detailed as possible the change values in the studied region, the above mentioned morphometric parameters were calculated on a grid support, with a pixels’ dimension of 10 x 10 m. The study aims at an appropriate assessment of the relief morphometric parameters as primary attributes of the geographic individuality of this large intracarpathian area, known under the name of the Transylvanian Basin. At the same time the main parameters’ differentiation was also studied at the region’s geographic subdivisions level. The relief morphometric characteristics and its lithological features represent the most important premises in the generation and evolution of geomorphical risk phenomena that endangers the rural settlements in the Transylvanian Plain.
