ABSTRACT. – Numerical Evolution of Amlaş Land Population. The conditions offered by the support component, by the suitability of the climate framework led to an ancient and permanent habitation of the area situated between the limits of Amlaş Land. The decrease of the population of the region, from its peak of 26 856 inhabitants, reached in 1857 to 17,350 inhabitants, in 2010, had many causes, including the decline of grazing, the migration over the Carpathians, the negative natural growth, the rural exodus. This decrease of 35.4% is a feature of Amlaş Land that emphasizes the difficult conditions in which this region developed, the lands being recognized for their characteristic of keeping the population. The only localities where the population has increased over the past 160 years are Jina (1846 inhabitants in 1850 and 4075 in 2010), Orlat (1846 in 1850 and 3206 in 2010) due to their militarization, accompanied by social and territorial advantages and Mag, where growth is attenuated (401-439), and is due to high natural increase generated by the majority of Roma population.
Keywords: region, land, Amlaş, population, demographical decrease, evolution.
