- Abstract
The typology of settlements is an important factor in the regional geographical analysis of a territory. In order to make a typology there are used a large number of indicators, thus outlining a complex image of the system of studied settlements. The region has a strong rural character, consisting of four municipalities, all of them bearing the name "Bârgău". Analyzing the localities by number of people, structure, texture, function, spatial distribution one can identify the problems they are facing, and the interventions to remedy the situation in order to achieve optimal living standards. This paper aims to emphasize the main aspects concerning the demographic dimension, structure and texture of the settlements, as well as the function and spatial distribution of the human settlements in Ţinulul Bârgăului (Bârgău District) by means of morphologic and quantitative indicators. The morphology of the area plays and important role in the distributionpd the settlements, four groups specific to the altitudinal levels being identifies. Thus, the majority of the settlements (6 of the total 13) are situated between 600-1000 m. The morphology of the settlements has changed in time due to the activity in this district of the II Romanian Border Regiment between 1783 and 1851, so that the majority of the villages with irregular shape changed due to imperial orders to a simple linear or linear-tentacular shape. The functional typology of the settlements in Bârgău district was subect to numerous changes. The presence of high quality pastures and meadows determined the economic profile of the settlements, by the development of the zootechnical sector. The presence of forests determined the development besides the agricultural activities of the wood and timber exploitation activities in most settlements. After the analysis of all the indicator we can perceive the great humanisation of the studied geographical area.
