holdings with production means, estimating the total net investment value by types of
agricultural machines and farm equipment. Clustering method was applied on appropriate
statistical indicators of the sample farms according to the considered selection criteria,
providing the basis for analyze. The article presents the results provided by farms sample
analysis, showing regional profile assessments obtained at farm level and by legal status of

After December 1989, the Romanian governments made efforts to re-establish a coherent
legal and institutional framework for private rights in rural land but the whole process has
been characterized by instability, incoherence and unjustified delays. During the early
phases of economic transition (privatizations), when regulatory institutions, controls and
mechanisms of sanctions are not yet in place, people keenly take land if their position
allows for it. Privatization does not force people to fight for land, but sometimes it offers
illegal opportunities to make an economic profit. All land conflicts and disputes produce
negative consequences for individual people as well as for the entire society. The aim of
this paper was to analyze the concept and the causes of land related conflicts in Romania.
Key words: land conflict, types of conflicts, land reform, rural space
