    Identification of the Rural Areas of Bulgaria

    Trakia Journal of Sciences, Vol. 6, No. 3, pp 13-17, 2008 Copyright © 2008 Trakia University Available online at: http://www.uni-sz.bg ISSN 1312-1723 (print) ISSN 1313-3551 (online) Original Contribution IDENTIFICATION OF THE RURAL AREAS OF BULGARIA Kr. Toneva* Doctoral Applicant, Department Regional Development, Trakia University, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria ABSTRACT The term, ‘rural area’ finds disparate definitions within Member States of the European Union. Similarly, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) determines two hierarchical levels: local = municipality- LAU2 and regional = district – NUTS3. This ratio has been applied to define the following 3 regions: predominantly rural, rural to a considerable degree and predominantly urban. The second definition by Eurostat is based on the degree of urbanization on the territory. Under this condition the following 3 (three) areas have been defined: densely populated territories, intermediate group and thinly populated territories. In compliance with the national definition for rural area there are two distinguishing criteria: population density and number of the population in the biggest town of the municipality (the municipal centre). As of 31.12.2007 the population of the district of Stara Zagora was 355, 625 on an area of 5, 148 km2. It encompasses 11 municipalities with two village headquarters whilst others are towns. The ОEСD classifies all municipalities, except Stara Zagora Municipality, in the rural category. Eurostat defines Stara Zagora district as thinly populated. The National definition places the municipalities of Stara Zagora and Kazanlak as being related to the rural municipalities while the rest of them – to the urban ones. Key words: rural area, predominantly rural regions, rural to a considerable degree regions, predominantly urban regions, densely populated territories, intermediate group, thinly populated territories.

Ivanov* Department of Management, Trakia University, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria ABSTRACT The objectives of the present elaboration are to be research and analyze the effect of Measure 311 and Measure 312 of Rural Development Areas Program /RDAP/ and to be valuate the effect of the program upon development of rural areas by way of example of Region Stara Zagora. At the territory of region Stara Zagora for the period 2007-2010 16 projects are accepted on measure 311 “ Diversity into non- agricultural activities” and 62 projects on measure 312 “Support for the creation and development of micro- firms”. Thanks to these two measures are created opportunities for economic development of rural areas. The investments are decreasing unemployment and stimulating the economic activity. Although, the positive effect of the program, there are some failings like too big threshold of personal share in investments, which restrict the number of potential candidates. The methods which are used are observation, statistical analysis, research and analysis of documentation, expert valuation and many others. Key words: rural areas, development, perspectives INTRODUCTION On the territory of Region Stara Zagora are Measures 311 “Diversification into non- situated 11 municipalities, which are having agricultural activities” and 312 “Support for summary population at the end of 2010- the creation and development of micro-firms”, 347 414 people.

    CLLD Assessment Report Bulgaria in 2016, Integro Raised Awareness

    CLLD Assessment Report Bulgaria In 2016, Integro raised awareness and built capacity on a local level in order to participate in the formation of LAGs and the LDS planning processes: Integro provided information, consultation and trainings to representatives of stakeholders/the local authority, various institutions and the local community/ from the following territories: - Beloslav - Novi Pazar - Sredets - Shabla – Kavarna - Aytos - Kotel – Sungulare – Varbitsa - Tundzha - Byala Slatina - Isperih - Maglizh - Zavet – Kubrat - Knezha - Peshtera - Tutrakan – Slivo Pole - Tvarditca Representatives of the communities or local NGOs were consulted regarding the opportunities to participate in the planning and development processes of the Local Development Strategies, as well as regarding the need for participation as members of the LAG. The strategy planning process was realized in two stages – the first stage came to an end during May 2016, with 66 strategies being submitted for funding, but only 40 being approved, whilst the second started during August 2016 and is currently waiting for the strategy development procedure to end in May 2017. Activity on the local level was achieved through individual and group consultations with local individuals, as well as meetings with representatives of LAGs/municipalities, training reporters and applying the quality audit. The following territories were approved for funding from all LAG territories: Sredets, Aytos, Beloslav, Isperih, Zavet-Kubrat, Novi Pazar, Kotel-Sungulare-Varbitsa and Maglizh. The ones that include measures focused on the Roma community are: Sredets, Isperih, Novi Pazar, Kotel-Sungulare-Varbitsa and Maglizh. The other strategies still have opportunities for the inclusion of Roma, but they are mostly mainstream measures. The rest of the territories – Peshtera, Tundzha, Shabla- Kavarna, Byala Slatina, Knezha and Tutrakan-Slivo Pole – are currently developing strategies and will apply for funding by the end of May 2017.
  • HEART of THRACE – the Celts in Central Bulgaria

    HEART of THRACE – the Celts in Central Bulgaria

    HEART OF THRACE – The Celts in Central Bulgaria Mac Congail The recent publication of results from large-scale excavations in sub-Balkan Thrace marks an important step forward in Bulgarian archaeology, and has finally provided us with objective scientific data on the geo-political status quo and ethnic composition in this part of Europe in the late Iron Age. These extensive excavations, carried out at a number of sites in Central Bulgaria, especially in the Chirpan Heights area, has yielded material that has prompted local archaeologists to finally conclude that in the late Iron Age this region was in fact inhabited by a Celtic (Celto- Thracian) population (Tonkova et al 2011 = Трако-римски династичен център в районна Чирпанските възвишения. Тонкова M. (ed.) София, 2011). Celtic ‘Zepino Type’ ceramic from Bratya Daskalovi, Stara Zagora reg., south-central Bulgaria (After Tonkova et al 2011) The Chirpan Heights area of South-Central Bulgaria ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT Previously recorded Celtic material from the sub-Balkan area of Central Bulgaria is extensive, ranging from Sofia eastwards, from the Celtic warrior burial complete with a (ritually bent) La Têne sword, spear and Celtic ceramic discovered in the Poduaine area of Sofia City at the beginning of the 20th c. (Кацаров Г., България в древността. Историко-археологически очерк. Популярна археологическа библиотека, No. 1. София 1926. P. 41) to the concentration of Celtic material discovered in the Gorna Malina district of eastern Sofia region, where La Têne material has been found at the villages of Markazevo, Gorna Malina itself, and at Bailovo (see ‘Sacrificial Daggers’ and ‘Serdi’ articles’, with cited lit.).
