摘要：The Boianu Plain covers an area of 420 000 ha, being a component of the Romanian Plain,
characterized by 200 ¨C 230 m elevation to the north and 15 -20 m to the south, in the Danube meadow, the
plain relief has a high favorability degree for establishing and developping of rural settlements. Most of them
are settled along the main valleys (the Olt, the Danube, the Vedea); there is a limited number of settlements on
the interfluves of the plain (Viile, Voivoda, Bacea, Movileni, Bratcov, Gresia), interfluves being used in
agriculture. Among the restrictive factors, concerning the extend of settlements on the interfluvial plains, there
must be reminded high thickness of the loessoid deposits (20 ¨C 30 m), the existence of freatic level at high
depth (40 ¨C 80 m). In the Boianu Plain there are 48 communes and 166 small villages; the density of the
settlements is 4 inhabitans/100km2, smaller than the national average (6,4 inh/km2).
