    Double Dutch? Transferring the integrated area approach to Bulgaria Paper for the 2008 Berlin Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, Berlin, 22-23 February 2008. Carel Dieperink (Utrecht University, Copernicus Institute for Sustainable Development and Innovation, P.O. Box80115, 3508 TC Utrecht, the Netherlands, [email protected] ) Linda van Duivenbode (POVVIK-Mec B.V., Ondiep-zuidzijde, 3551 BW Utrecht, the Netherlands) René Boesten (POVVIK-Mec B.V., Ondiep-zuidzijde, 3551 BW Utrecht, the Netherlands) Abstract National and regional development plans and private sector investment plans guide the development of the Bulgarian coastal zone. Still, the development is focussed on short- term returns and profits. Pressure from the great number of investors combined with competition between municipalities to attract investments, limited national funds to support the needed development of infrastructure and utilities and the weak legal basis for enforcing the top down implementation of the plans contribute further to this short term thinking. Long-term thinking integrating several societal interests is required in order to meet the sustainability challenges. The Dutch integrated area approach is an attempt to integrate several societal interests. So far it has been quite successful. At the request of the Bulgarian government the approach is transferred to Bulgaria in order to develop a vision and a strategy for integrated coastal zone management for the Black Sea coast. The Bulgarian request is also a consequence of the EU Recommendation on Integrated Coastal Zone Management, which urges EU member states to develop a strategic action plan for their coastal areas. With financial support of the Dutch government a Dutch-Bulgarian team is trying to transfer the approach to Bulgaria through the MyCOAST project.

IN SITU / ON FARM T. Stoilova*, P. Chavdarov, N. Velcheva Institute of Plant Genetic Resources, 2 Drugba str., Sadovo 4122, Bulgaria Abstract Dry bean is considered as one of the major legume crop with big number of landraces grown in Bulgaria. Local forms of Phaseolus spp. are conserved on farm in different geographical regions and show a wide morphological diversity. The aim of our study was to collect, conserve and characterize local populations of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Phaseolus coccineus L. typically grown in Smilyan, Troyan and Velingrad regions. The most popular local forms were characterized using different approaches. In this paper we will present results from morphological characterization and phythopathological evaluation. Qualitative and quantitative traits were assessed on 50 accessions of Phaseolus spp. during vegetation cycle. All information was documented in European electronic catalog “EURISCO” and is available on line (http://eurisco.ecpgr.org) Key words: diversity, common bean, landraces, conservation 1. INTRODUCTION The grain legumes are important source of protein against to hunger and malnutrition in the world [1]. They supply 18-20% of total fund of plant protein. The seeds are 2 to 5 richest of proteins comparing with cereals, and most of them consist between 20-35% crude proteins [2]. Traditional food for Bulgarians is field beans (Phaseolus spp.). The common bean (Ph. vulgaris L.) is more popular in the country, while runner bean (Ph. coccineus L.) is adapted and well grown in the mountain regions.

It takes further the tradition in tourism studies that calls for the incorporation of the contextual change in the process of destination development. The purpose of this study was to determine whether, and in what ways, the nature of the socio-economic and political transition has influenced the processes of tourism development of a coastal tourism destination in the period 1989-2009 and if the tourism stakeholders have incorporated and implemented the principles of sustainability in the transformation and operation of the tourism sector, with the associated questions of why, why not, and how.
