  • Sopiste Municipality Rehabilitation of Various Streets
    PROJECT APPRAISAL DOCUMENT SOPISTE MUNICIPALITY REHABILITATION OF VARIOUS STREETS AUGUST 2015 1 I. PROJECT DESCRIPTON A. GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE MUNICIPALITY Sopiste municipality is located in the central part of Macedonia and covers an area of 253.35km2. Geographically, the municipality occupies the southwestern part of the Skopje Valley, along the Markova Sushica River and its junction with the River Treska, on the slopes of the Vodno Mountain. The physical-geographical conditions within the municipality are extremely variable and some of them (climate, flora and fauna) occur as promoters of development of the settlements, and other (hydrological, hydrographic features) as inhibitors, whereas others show strong variability and polarization (topography, soil) and their impact on human settlements depends on their location. Despite the mountainous character and the peripheral position relative to the Skopje Valley, Sopiste municipality still has a favorable geographical position, due primarily to the immediate vicinity of Skopje. Figure 1: Location of the municipality Sopiste municipality is characterized by a transition between a continental and mountainous climate, with an average annual temperature of 11°C. In terms of precipitation, they are at greater intensity than Skopje valley, ranging between 600 and 1000mm per square meter, depending on the altitude. The average annual insolation is between 45-50%, but in terms of the Skopje Valley it’s significantly greater in December, which is favorable for settlements in this area, due to the southern positioning of Sopiste, hence the warmth of the area. The surface hydrographic network of the municipality’s area is poorly developed, mostly because of the intense process of karstification that engulfed the terrains of Karadzica, Suva Planina and Venec.
