Social conflicts analysis of poplar crops relies on the study of the local inhabitants’ attitudes and perception about the change of the land use from agriculture to poplar plantation. We have applied a quantitative methodology with structured questionnaire in two localities (abbreviated as D and M) from North-Est Romania to assess inhabitants’ perceptions on afforestation and on poplar culture and their behavior related with afforestation of abandoned agricultural lands. The fact that 86% of respondents prone to keep their agricultural land instead of selling it to private investors and 70% think that changing the land use from agricultural land to forest is not an acceptable thing. This high percentages are sustained by 55% who do not accept the poplar afforestation which are located in the proximity of their homes. The study level, age classes and ownership types are socio-economics and demographics characteristics which have a significant influence on the attitude toward poplar crops. All these results reveal a high potential level of conflicts between the practice of short-rotation poplar cultures and the traditional values of rural communities.
