Popis: Identifying the susceptibility of the land to contemporary geomorphological processes is an essential aspect to be pursued within the proper territorial planning process of the Iara Depression. Recently, within the Iara Depression, multiple areas were affected by geomorphological processes and these had both natural and anthropogenic triggers. In the present study, we choose to assess the Iara Depression exposure to hazards by including its territory in the landslides probability occurrence classes defined by the 447/2003 Governmental Decision, using GIS technology that allows the running of this type of complex analyzes. To obtain the necessary specialized information, we used geomorphological mapping on site and in the laboratory, to detect the contemporary geomorphological processes, which than was used as a validation method for the obtained results.
