Abstract: The territorial support of the Bucovina region is characterized
by its complexity, this characteristic deriving primarily from the fact that it
meets in its boundaries different properties, the western part being a
mountainous region and the eastern one of plateau. Sketching an actual image of
the existing dysfunctions of the region from a natural perspective requires an
analysis of the susceptibility of landslides, this being one of the most common
problems when it comes to the quality of the natural support of a geographic
complex. The predisposed areas to this type of hazard will be outlined into a
cartographic support according the semi-quantitative method governed in Romania
by G.D. no 447/2003 which establish the elaboration and the content of natural
hazards at landslides. In order to achieve this objective, it has been used
G.I.S. technique both for the construction of vector and raster necessary data
bases and for statistical analysis of the final results. Last but not least
through the mentioned technique it can be identify the risk caused in the
territory by landslides. One of the benefits of this study is the forecasting of
regional development projects in rural areas from Bucovina.
