摘要：Our study area is situated in the North-Western part of Dobrogea Plateau, respectively in the South-East of Romania. The purpose of this paper is to perform an interpretative analysis of the morphometric parameters of the Măcin Mountains, Niculiţel Hills and Nalbant Basin landscape for highlighting areas with touristic potential. To achieve our goal we generate the digital elevation model (DEM) by interpolating the contour lines taken from topographical maps (1: 25,000). Then, we derived the primary (hypsometry, slope gradient and orientation) and the secondary (fragmentation depth) morphological indicators. The area covered by each class has also been derived, therefore establishing the weight of every one of them by types of indicators. Data obtained from the morphometric analysis reflects the areas with touristic attractiveness and the areas suitable for placing the touristic infrastructure within the study area.
