Between March 1st – 3rd 2024, the students in the Geomorphology and cartography with cadaster elements from the Faculty of Geography of the University of Bucharest have completed the practical application in the Posada Ravine.
The goal of the application was to explore and evaluate, in a complex manner, environmental conditions in the Posada Ravine, with an accent of the identification and evaluation of the factors that influence the durable development of transport infrastructure projects in mountain areas subjected to considerable anthropic pressure.
The practical application was organized by associate professor Ionuț Săvulescu, PhD, associate professor Robert Dobre, collaborator Laurențiu Ilie, PhD, and PhD students Adriana Ilie and Ioana Alexandra Mirea.
Next to the professors, the students underwent a thorough analysis of the environmental components, finalizing detailed evaluations on the field and investigating the causality relations between the different aspects of the environment and the impact of transport infrastructure.
This approach involved an ample use of the knowledge acquired during university studies, both during Bachelor’s studies, as well as Master’s studies. Charting, mapping and multi-criterial analysis of the environmental and socio -human elements represented the main focus of the activity, organized in teams of 3-4 Master’s students and at cross-disciplinary level.
Each team was responsible for exploring and documenting in detail specific aspects of the surrounding environment, thus contributing to a more profound understanding of the its complexity and identifying the most adequate strategies for the durable management of the transport infrastructure in mountain areas.
The trail started in Halta Posada and had a length of approximately 7 km along the Prahova Valley, analyzing the key spots with an essential role in choosing an optimal highway course in a mountain area.
In the second day of the application, the students moved into the laboratory, where they transformed the raw information collected from the field into a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the factors that influence the design, construction and operation of a cross-mountain highway in the Posada Ravine.
The main activities included the mapping of the field and the analysis of the factors that can influence the course of the highway, from restrictions conditioned by mountain landforms to geological and climate characteristics specific to the region. Potential natural and anthropic risks were discussed, as well as possible technical solutions adequate for the highway layout. In addition, the students also identified and analyzed sustainable areas for projecting and executing the highway in the Posada Ravine, taking into consideration both the legal aspects concerning the protection of the environment, and the socio-economic necessities of the local communities.
Finally, the Master’s students established an optimal alignment for the highway, having in mind a large array of technical, physio-geographical, socio-economic and environmental factors. This stage implied a detailed analysis of the possible routes.
