Journal Title: Studia Universitatis "Vasile Goldis" Arad - Seria Stiinte Ingineresti si agro-turism - Year 2009, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The rural space - this is the expression of man's prolonged effort to put into service the physical-geographical components of space, of nature. It is a space that man has molded as time has passed, according to his needs, that he has created through his own work and has filled with his creations of an anthropic nature, being therefore, a genuine "rustic masterpiece" of man. Rural typology can be founded on various attributes, as the rural areas may be described in a variety of ways: according to the dimensions of the settlement, the landscape type, the economic activity, the administrative area, the social characteristics, or a complex blend of indicators. Nevertheless, none of these, taken in isolation, have the potential to provide the perfect definition that best describes the type of area (space). The typology of the rural space is a complex issue. When attempting to venture into a classification of rural areas (spaces), the various aspects of rurality give rise to two issues: Analyzing what the rural is or what it entails; Analyzing the way in which to settle boundaries to a rural region (area).
