The present article is meant as a detailed presentation of the problems which can occur in the conversion of military sites into other centres, through entrepreneurship. The area looked into is located in Rimnicu Vilcea, where the University of Pitesti, after taking over a part of the original area, carries out some of its activities. This study is meant to be a criterion for sustainable development ,namely environmental, landscape restoration proposed by contributing to environmental quality improvement and pollution sources reduction by removing the aspect of "vacant land", degraded and untidy. The studied area has a surface area of 72820 square metres and there are 23 buildings on it. The land measurements have been made with specific topographic equipment: GPS SOUTH S86-T and Pentax total station W- 822NX, using RTK-kinematic method. The planimetric coordinate values have been registered for each point in the 70’s Stereo System. In order to identify the species of trees and shrubs resistant to environment and microclimate conditions, a small dendrologic study has been made. The plants have been planted as naturally as possible in order to fix the soil and to create a show of vegetation through foliage, colour and fragrance. Thanks to the chromatic change of the foliage, the thickness and transparency of the crown, the varied forms and volumes, the vegetation will ensure the variety of the lanscape, making the area more alive.
