Abstract

The agricultural holdings without legal status, largely overlapping the rural population’s households and providing content to the individual households, namely the peasant households, preserve the continuity of the vernacular village in terms of the community land and in demographic terms, through the families living in the villages, whose main occupation remains agriculture. There are sensible differences between the holdings located in different county and regional areas, which reveals the distinctive typology of the agricultural holdings without legal status. The present study relies upon processed data from the last censuses, namely, the Population, Dwellings and Households Census in Romania (2011) and the General Agricultural Census (2010), with reference to the current differences within the average profiles of the holdings from the counties located in the North-East and South-East Development Regions, highlighting the similar profile of the holdings, even though they belong to rather different geographical areas, with specific particularities.
