Tendințe asupra modului de utilizare a terenurilor din cadrul aglomerației Chișinău

Abstract

This article evaluates the tendencies and impact of urbanization on the land use within the Chisinau agglomeration. The research carried out regarding Stăuceni commune, confirms that the periurban area, undergoes a period of significant spatial and functional transformation, influenced by the demographic pressure, poorly controlled urban development and the intensification of the land relations. By implementing the project “Chisinau Arena” on the territory of Stăuceni commune, the plan for territorial expansion of Chisinau city (in peri-urban areas located on major transport axes) is reconfirmed. At the same time, the demographic forecast presented in scenario III, according to UN for population, shows that the Chisinau population will decrease dramatically, towards 2035, therefore it is necessary that the spatial planning plans to be adapted quickly to the pace of demographic changes, to avoid compromising the infrastructure projects and squandering land in the suburban areas.
