The residential function of the countryside and the development of the peri-urban area of Cluj Napoca city

摘要

The residential function of the rural area is analyzed on a sample of 17 localities within a range of 30 km around the city of Cluj Napoca and included in the development plan of the residential area of Cluj. The purpose of the research is to identify the effects of exerting the residential function in the area mentioned as well as its influence on other specific functions of the countryside (agricultural, touristic, environmental). The analysis is based on secondary data provided by the Regional Statistics Department of Cluj. Based on this data, the structure of the land fund is analyzed, the evolution of the total population, its density, the evolution of the number of dwellings, access to utilities and the number of enterprises. The results of the study demonstrate beneficial socio-economic effects of exerting the residential function for the population of the area studied, but also less favorable effects, due to landscape degradation.
