Rezumat

The city has been representing the form of human habitation since 7 mil. B.C., for about 9 thou. years [1]. Since the very beginning it has been representing concentration of both positive and negative forms on the Earth’s surface. However, only recently the city has started to arouse interest among the geomorphologists [3,4,5]. The city represents special geomorphologic system and is a research object of the two geomorphologic disciplines, depending on the scale of research: geomorphology of urban territories and geomorphologic analysis of urbosphere [5]. Geomorphology of urban territories focuses on the analysis of classical geomorphologic processes and forms in their relation to the cities’ territories [3,4]. However, growing size, especially, height and area, of the city and its constructions increases their influence on other components of the environment: natural relief, climate, soils, vegetation and animals. Thus, there is a strong need of more profound analysis of urban territories from the view point of their contribution to the formation of anthropogenic surface. In Moldova, systematic research of anthropogenic relief has started in the 1990s [6]. It focuses on the general analysis of all types of anthropogenic relief, as follows: technogenic, technogenictransformed, and natural relief with technogenic forms. Within technogenic types several morphosculptures are individualized: irrigational, pit-run and deposit tip, urbanized, and agricultural [2]. However, in the current context of increasing urbanization more detailed classification of urbanized territories is a necessity. For the urbanized territories of Moldova we propose the following classification of the urbanized territories. Urbanized relief, which represent morphosculpture of the 1st order, consists, in consecutive order, of the morphoscuplture of the 2nd and 3rd order and macroforms of relief, and includes the following components: - Municipal (territories with residential and civil buildings) - Areal Low-level (1-2 floor houses) Medium-level (up to 5 level buildings) High-level (more than 5 level buildings) - Linear (large streets and boulevards within residential areas) Industrial (industrial areas) Areal (factories and plants) Linear (spur tracks and drive ways) Transportational Areal (transportation (especially, railway) nodes) Linear (communication lines: highways and railways) Hydrotechnical (artificial waterbodies and neighboring territories) Areal (reservoirs and ponds) Linear (channels, river breakthrough, dams and dikes) Detailed classification of the relief of urbanized territories will make possible assessing particularities of distribution and density of various anthropogenic forms of relief on cities’ territories, their interaction with natural relief and influence on natural and anthropogenic processes. Also, it will allow more accurate assessing microclimate, hydrologic, biologic landscape components.
