Abstract. The purpose of this study is to present various aspects regarding the organization of settlements in the geographical space of the Bistra Corridor. In case of rural settlements, the construction area is approached together with population and estate (usually included in the extraurban in the case of urban settlements) as it is one of the main components both in the rural and urban areas; most of the population inhabiting these settlements, regardless of type or rank, live and perform their activity here. The construction area is therefore the core of every settlement including, together with residences, various institutions and/or services facilities with polarization role.
