Abstract. This study analyzes the main dysfunctions that have occurred within the micro-system of the Vama Buzăului commune, as well as some of the proposals to revitalize the space in question, in order to highlight the characteristics of a functional area whose dimensions have been diminished. In order to achieve a better knowledge and understanding of the real situation, there have been identified and analyzed, by means of several indicators, the dysfunctions that occur in this area. They can be divided into four categories: those of the natural environment, those of the human resources and locations, those due to economic reasons, and those related to the infrastructure. Definite action is to be taken for the micro-system of the Vama Buzăului commune to function correctly. They represent the conclusions of this study.
