Abstract

Through this paper I want to analyze the religious landscape of Iasi County, how it is transformed and developed, after the fall of communism. This term of religious landscape is analyzed from the perspective of territory but also as society. The religious landscape is also studied from the regional differentiation perspective of denominations in Iasi county, this being one of the elements who led to the organization of society, during the process of transformation. I also took in consideration the processes which contributed to the development of new religious landscape of Iasi County. Also, I observe the course of religious denominations after the fall of communism, having as reference the censuses from 1992 until 2011, and after processing data obtained from National Institute of Statistics I analyzed the impact of religious structure of population on religious landscape of Iasi county. We have to take into account the fact that religious denominations are in a continue change after the fall of communism, fact that has effect on the landscape. The county faces a decrease in the number of orthodox people, while other religious denominations grow in the number of adherents. The religious landscape of Iasi became more diversified after the fall of communism, so now we can talk about religious freedom.
