Abstract

This article evaluates the effects of urbanization on the land use within Chişinău agglomeration. The research carried out regarding situation in Stăuceni commune confirms that the peri-urban area undergoes a period of significant spatial and functional transformation influenced by the demographic pressure, poorly controlled urban development and intensification of land relations. By implementing the project “Chișinău Arena” on the territory of Stăuceni commune, the plan for territorial expansion of Chișinău city (in peri-urban areas located on m Chişinău ajor transport axes) is reconfirmed. At the same time, the demographic forecast presented in scenario III, according to UN for Population, shows that the Chișinău’s population will decrease towards 2035, therefore it is necessary that the spatial planning to be adapted quickly to the pace of demographic changes for not compromising the infrastructure projects and land squandering in the suburban areas.
