Bucovăț, Timiș
commune in Timiș County, Romania
Bucovăț (Hungarian: Bükkfalva, lit. "small village"; German: Bukowetz; Serbian: Буковац, romanized: Bukovac) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of two villages, Bazoșu Nou and Bucovăț (commune seat). Part of the commune of Remetea Mare until 2007, it was established as a separate commune in that year.
Geography
Bucovat is located 16 km (9.9 mi) from Timișoara and 51 km (32 mi) from Lugoj, in the center of Timiș County. Bucovăț lies in the Tisa Plain, a low plain that overlaps the Bega–Timiș interfluve, with altitudes of 80–90 m (260–300 ft). The hydrographic network is represented, as previously mentioned, by Bega and Timiș rivers. Timiș, with large level variations but with a small drainage slope, which explains its rather meandering course, is dammed, and Bega, which separates Bucovăț from Remetea Mare, for the most part with an almost constant and adjustable flow, is channeled and dammed.
Climate
The climate can be characterized as a plain climate, at the limit of interference between the western subtype with oceanic nuances and the Banat subtype with sub-Mediterranean nuances. The average annual temperature is 10.6 °C (51.1 °F), and the average annual rainfall is 631 mm (24.8 in), with the observation that if in the summer there is a deficit of rainfall, in the rest of the year there are surpluses of water both in the soil and on its surface, with negative influences on the balanced development of agricultural crops.

Why this record matters
The phrase “commune in Timiș County, Romania” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q552144. Authority coordinates are 45.755, 21.381. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
