Abstract
The present paper analyses the way in which terrain morphology influences the typology and distribution of human settlements in the depression of Husi, landforms being one of the main factors conditioning the emplacement and development of localities. Also, the habitable space of the depression has been analyzed by using some mathematic and statistical indicators computed for the administrative units from this geographic area. Such are the indices regarding settlement dispersion, centrality and concentration. Thus in the study area can be observed an unequal dispersion of the settlements, with large surfaces lacking habitation in the central part of the depression, a large percentage of small localities with a subsistence agricultural economy and a reduced degree of urbanization. The only town is Husi, which offers a low economic dynamism to the rural settlements in the depression.
