Spatial definition of archetypes gives an example of regionalization ‘‘from the top’’, i.e. it is based on the attributes of secondary landscape structure, which are subsequently interpreted. At the first level of landscape-ecological regionalization, we primarily build on the knowledge of relationships between the spatial arrangements of the landscape elements, their geometric shapes, respectively patterns. At the second level, we interpret the processes that determined the formation and development of the landscape type. We identify the conditions and factors of orderliness and regularity of patterns of landscape elements. The characteristic features of landscape archetypes are visually distinguishable regularities of patterns, orderliness of elements in space and their relationship to the landscape features. At the third level, we determine the relationship between the conditions and factors that directly or indirectly represent the genesis of the archetype. The important conditions necessary for the formation of landscape texture, patterns, their shapes and arrangement: georelief—morphometric attributes, positional attributes, morphostructural attributes and morphodynamic attributes. We consider factors to particularly be socio-economic human activities, but also man-induced natural processes, such as soil erosion, gully erosion and landslides. The German colonization took place from twelfth to eighteenth century and had a significant impact on the development of handicraft, mining, processing of metal ores and viticulture and urbanization. The Wallachian colonization dominated in fourteenth and fifteenth century and was known by the activities of mountain farming with a predominance of shepherding, what had a great impact on deforestation of the landscape and expansion of mountain pastures and meadows.
