Abstract

The identification of the geomorphologic vulnerability of a territory is a very important stage in the process of urban planning. Târgu Mureș municipality has extended its built-up area in the last few years independently of the restrictions which should be imposed in order to avoid the situation of building in areas with a high probability of landslide occurrence. As a consequence, the present study classified the built-up area of Târgu Mureș in probability classes for landslide occurrence according to the Governmental Order 447/2003 and using GIS technology which facilitates such complex analyses. Specialised data was collected using geomorphologic mapping which captured the active slope processes. These were eventually used for validating the final results.
