Abstract

The paper addresses the condition of the built environment in the protected areas ROSCI0045 Jiu Corridor, ROSPA0010 Bistreț, and the Natural Reserves Drănic Fossil Site-2391 and Zăval Forest- IV.33+A6, considering three specific indicators: the number of housing units, the livable area, and the number of building permits issued. These protected areas play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation within the component administrative units (56 in total, including 37 in Dolj County, 17 in Gorj County, one in Mehedinți County, and one in Olt County) where they are located.
The number of housing units increased from 208,602 in 2017 to 222,680 in 2021, a trend observed predominantly in private properties. The built area for the entire region grew from 10,276,212 m² in 2017 to 11,162,886 m² in 2021. Overall, the area exhibits both ascending and descending trends regarding the number of building permits issued.
The increase in the number of housing units may lead to potentially adverse effects on the protected natural areas. However, with proper urban planning, this negative impact can be mitigated.
