    Discussion Papers 2007. Regionality and/or Locality 169-177. p. SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHANGES IN BLAGOEVGRAD IN CONNECTION WITH THE INTEGRATION OF BULGARIA’S TO EU ALEKSANDRA RAVNACHKA This research aims to demonstrate, analyze and assess the socio-economic changes in Blagoevgrad municipality in connection with Bulgaria's integration to the EU. The municipality of Blagoevgrad is located in Southwest Bulgaria and occupies an area of 628 km2. According to the regional scheme of the country, the munici- pality includes the town of Blagoevgrad and its adjacent 25 villages. The town of Blagoevgrad is situated of 100 km south of the capital city of Sofia and proximity by the Republic Macedonia and Greece. The geographical location of the munici- pality favours its development. The demographic factors have a considerable im- pact on the development of Blagoevgrad municipality. Until 1998 its population was growing but since then it has been slowly decreasing. During 1992–2001 the average annual population drop was by -0.05%. The main causes for this decline are a low birth rate, high death rate, migration, etc. In 2005 the inhabitants of the municipality were 77,183 (data source: GRAO) which constituted 23.2% of the district's population and 1.0% of the country's population (Table 1, Figure 1). Most of the municipality’s population lives in the town of Blagoevgrad. The share of urban population in the municipality is 91.2% and has the rural population – 8.7%. For comparison sake the ratio urban: rural population in the whole district is 57.2%: 42.8%.

  • About Bulgaria
    Source: Zone Bulgaria (http://en.zonebulgaria.com/) About Bulgaria General Information about Bulgaria Bulgaria is a country in Southeastern Europe and is situated on the Balkan Peninsula. To the north the country borders Rumania, to the east – the Black Sea, to the south – Turkey and Greece, and to the west – Yugoslavia and Macedonia. Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic with a National Assembly (One House Parliament) of 240 national representatives. The President is Head of State. Geography of Bulgaria The Republic of Bulgaria covers a territory of 110 993 square kilometres. The average altitude of the country is 470 metres above sea level. The Stara Planina Mountain occupies central position and serves as a natural dividing line from the west to the east. It is a 750 km long mountain range stretching from the Vrushka Chuka Pass to Cape Emine and is part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. It reaches the Black Sea to the east and turns to the north along the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border. A natural boundary with Romania is the Danube River, which is navigable all along for cargo and passenger vessels. The Black Sea is the natural eastern border of Bulgaria and its coastline is 378 km long. There are clearly cut bays, the biggest two being those of Varna and Bourgas. About 25% of the coastline are covered with sand and hosts our seaside resorts. The southern part of Bulgaria is mainly mountainous. The highest mountain is Rila with Mt. Moussala being the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula (2925 m). The second highest and the mountain of most alpine character in Bulgaria is Pirin with its highest Mt.

The achievement of sustainable development of Bulgarian tourist resorts is questionable after the European Commission has put Bulgaria's two-month ultimatum to prove that it can deal with the problem of dirty air. Tourism is a sector that is accused of violating sustainable development due to its many negative environmental impacts. A significant part of the harmful impact is due to the transport used to reach the desired destination and the movement itself. Sustainable development is a key objective of the EU and Bulgaria should not lag behind in terms of the essential indicators for its achievement. This publication aims to propose effective measures to reduce the harmful impact of passenger transport on the environment by establishing sustainable transport practices in touristic resorts. The environmental component of sustainable development is among its main priorities. Based on expert analysis of Bulgarian touristic resorts, our own research and experience in the studied subject will offer effective measures to increase their sustainability by reducing the harmful impact of transport on the environment. 1 Introduction transport practices in tourist destinations and thus contributing to the sustainable development of tourism. In Sustainable development is a topic of importance to the order to achieve the stated objective, the state of the public since the 1990s as a result of human's threatening Bulgarian tourist resorts will be analyzed in relation to impact on Planet Earth.

Since there isn’t available infor- mation concerning some of the resorts in native languages on the Internet, this Guide would be a good instrument for Travel agencies to promote the spa resorts.

  • Synthesis and Biological Activity of Cinnamic Acids Amides
    Section: CHEMISTRY SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF CINNAMIC ACIDS AMIDES Tsenka Milkova a,b * , Maya Spasova c, Galya Ivanova b, Stefan Philipov b, Lubomira Nikolaeva-Glomb d, Galina Radeva c (Plenary report) aSouth-West University “Neofit Rilski” Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria b Institute of Organic Chemistry with Centre of Phytochemistry, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria cInstitute of Molecular Biology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria d The Stephan Angeloff Institute of Microbiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract: Seventeen cinnamoyl-, feruloyl- and sinapoyl- amino acids amides have been synthesized using the standard methods in peptide chemistry. The antioxidant activity of six feruloyl- and three sinapoyl- amino acid amides was studied on the oxidation stability of a lipid system. Some of the synthesized compounds have been tested for their antibacterial and antiviral activity. Twenty three N-alkylcinnamoyl amides have been prepared in solution and by sonochemical and microwave activated Wittig reaction. Some of the synthesized hydroxycinnamoyl amides were tested for their antiradical activity by DPPH* tests. All sinapoyl alkylamides were more active than the feruloyl amides. The results obtained demonstrated that the amides are twice less active than the free hydroxycinnamic acids The alkaloid glaucine has been modified and connected with cinnamoyl- and hydroxycinnamoyl residue. The compounds obtained have been tested for their antiradical activity by DPPH* tests. Keywords: cinnamoyl amides, sonochemical and microwave activated Wittig reaction, glaucine, antibacterial- and antiviral activity; DPPH* test 1. INTRODUCTION The biochemical properties of polyphenolic secondary plant metabolites such esters of cinnamic acids (caffeic, ferulic, p- and o-coumaric, sinapic) attract much attention in biology and medicine.
