Abstract: The elaboration new products based on advanced technologies
(using Geographical Information Systems), studies related to environmental
components’ estimation, is going to be a prospective direction in geographic
research. Increasing frequency and intensity of natural hazards in recent
decades, have oriented research towards highlighting the vulnerability of the
territory of the Republic of Moldova as a result of natural risk factors
manifestation (weather and climate-related, geomorphological, hydrological
risks, etc.), the risks conditioned by the current environmental changes,
including climate change. Anthropogenic pressure on environment through
urbanization, incorrect land use, also massive deforestation, etc. - determines
the estimation of region’s exposure to anthropogenic risk factors. Digital maps
that reflect natural and anthropogenic abovementioned risk factors will be the
background for elaboration the digital Atlas of Natural and anthropogenic Risk
factors .
Key words: Atlas of Natural and anthropogenic Risk factors, digital maps,
climate change
