The study
aims to analyse the dynamics of Clopotiva, a village in Hațeg Country, from
the date of its first documentary mention until present. The analysis points
out the role of the natural, historical and cultural conditions together with
the processes influencing the dynamics of this settlement. Information
extracted from monographies, historical documents and other specialised
studies were used for the medieval period, and starting with the 18th
century, GIS analysis was applied to the available cartographical documents
in order to highlight the morphological transformations of the village. The
results showed that the village appeared initially south-west of the actual
location, developing towards Râul Mare and the agricultural fields. The study
also aims to create an analysis model for the dynamics of the settlements in
the Hațeg Country.... view less
