Abstract: - Simulation of suburban development features based on scenarios in
the eastern side of Iasi city Suburbanization, a complex process well-developed
pre-eminently after the fall of communism, is characterized by a spontaneous,
sometimes ambiguous, evolution comparatively to the urban planning specific to
the former period. The phenomenon, typical to large cities, has known different
stages that were enforced by local factors, creating, thus, an uncertain,
chaotic and hard to control suburban fringe. This approach highlights the
features of the named process; the first step is aimed to identify some urban
models by analyzing those administrative units which are into a continuous
motion, namely the communes Barnova, Miroslava and Valea Lupului. Based on the
urban blueprints identified in the first part of the approach, will be
imagined/built scenarios which will predict the rhythm of suburban expansion in
two chosen communes located in the eastern side of Iasi city.
Key words: suburbanization, scenario, time-distance, accessibility,
growth rate
