            ABSTRACT. Thoughts concerning urban, natural and atrophic hazards, elements of perturbation for tourism. Tourism has become an important component of human lives. Due to the increase of the everyday living stress, especially in the urbanized areas, the touristic vacations became an item of consumption to which larger and larger segments of population gain access, being spoken even of a “democratization” of tourism. A living antenna of the economic, social and political life, tourism, in general, and international tourism especially, is still vulnerable regarding a series of factors. The urban system, of which tourism is a component part, is vulnerable to exogenous risks that are connected to natural and endogenous factors – of the internal component elements, respectively population and its societal environment ( social + political). Therefore, natural (geo-climatic, geomorphologic and complex), societal, technological and other hazards of different nature, exercise a direct influence upon tourism that is emphasized for each type separately. Also, from the experience of managing hazards, we present a series of measures of protection and prevention.

 Key-words: urban hazards, clean environment, balance, dysfunction, prevention, control
