  • Analysis of the Development of the Housing Market in Sofia 1 MARKET ANALYSIS of URBAN SPRAWL in SOFIA Assoc. Prof. Arch. Alexand
    Work Package 5 – Task 5.5 Analysis of the development of the housing market in Sofia MARKET ANALYSIS OF URBAN SPRAWL IN SOFIA Assoc. Prof. Arch. Alexander Slaev, Varna Free University The goals of this study are: • to identify whether and to what extent processes of urban sprawl exist in Sofia • to identify whether and to what extent these processes were/ are generated by the market • to identify the main indicators to measure urban sprawl and the impact of the market • to identify the specific features of market demand generating urban sprawl in Sofia • to identify the interests of the market players and groups that have major contribution to the processes of urban sprawl in Sofia • to identify the main indicators to measure urban sprawl and the impact of the market • to identify social and economic factors and components of urban policy that influence market demand that generates sprawl 1. Processes of urban expansion of Sofia – growth versus sprawl In this part of the study the growth of the town/ the city of Sofia will be examined with respect to the correlation between the growth of the population, the growth of the urbanized territory and the density of population. There is a relation between the processes of growth of a city and the processes of sprawl. Like sprawl, urban growth, too, usually results in expansion of urbanized territories. The main difference is that growth normally induces rises in urban densities, while falling densities are an inherent characteristic of urban sprawl. Therefore, the enlargement of the built-up are of Sofia is the first factor to be studied with respect to studying the processes of growth/ sprawl in Sofia.

  • Bulgaria 2020 Human Rights Report
    BULGARIA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bulgaria is a constitutional republic governed by a freely elected unicameral National Assembly. A coalition government headed by a prime minister leads the country. National Assembly elections were held in 2017, and the Central Election Commission did not report any major election irregularities. International and local observers considered the National Assembly elections and the 2016 presidential election generally free and fair but noted some deficiencies. The Ministry of Interior is responsible for law enforcement, migration, and border control. The State Agency for National Security, which reports to the Prime Minister’s Office, is responsible for investigating corruption and organized crime, among other responsibilities. The army is responsible for external security but also can assist with border security. During the coronavirus-related state of emergency, the army had the authority to enforce COVID-19 measures and restrictions but did not exercise it. The National Protective Service is responsible for the security of dignitaries and answers to the president. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Members of the security forces committed some abuses. Significant human rights issues included: violent treatment by police; arbitrary arrests; serious problems with judicial independence; serious restrictions on free expression, including media censorship, violence and threats of violence against journalists, and corporate and political pressure on media; refoulement of refugees or asylum seekers; serious acts of corruption; crimes involving violence or threats of violence against Roma; violence against children; and crimes involving violence or threats of violence targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex persons. Authorities took steps to prosecute and punish officials who committed human rights abuses, but government actions were insufficient, and impunity was a problem.
