Summary/Abstract: On 440.1 km the EU border section stretches which coincides with the Romanian-Ukrainian one (northern section), the territorial backdrop is characterized in the terms of morphology by a great landscape and altitude variety (from 200 to 1,900 m). Using the tools and methods certified in the specialized literature, we set forth a typology of the border areas, namely indicators related to the management, position, border accessibility, an important step in the elaboration of a cross-border cooperation or interregional strategies. Knowledge of the territorial administrative units under their position, the morphometric, morphographic and morphodynamic aspect represents the key of such a scientific step which will lay at the basis of the modelling of a crossborder territorial system with an enhanced functionality. Meanwhile, we obtain the border position and the border connectivity of the contiguous territorial administrative units as realistically as possible or found close to the border.
