Summary/Abstract: Along with the appearance of the human civilization, the natural landscapes have been more and more affected and modified. For the man, the concept of landscape rapidly becomes similar with the concept of building, step by step losing its natural meanings and becoming more and more humanized. Through the time, the landscape has become a cultural one and became directly connected with the appearance of the human civilization. It becomes more pronounced along with the development of the society influencing and modifying the natural landscapes and turning them into artificial ones. The Someşului Mare hills represent an area where the impact of the human activity is present since the oldest of times. In this area a few types of landscapes are represented: the habitational landscape, the agricultural landscape, the non-agricultural landscape and the nonlandscape. The actual landscape is the result of the interaction between the natural and social parameters within the studied area.
