  • Analytical Report
    ANALYTICAL REPORT CAPACITY OF THE MUNICIPALITIES OF BANSKO, BELITSA, RAZLOG AND YAKORUDA FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTIVITIES RELATED TO ALTERNATIVE TOURISM IN A CROSS-BORDER REGION Part One 1. General Characteristics of the region а. Territory, towns, natural assets The four municipalities are located at the foot of the Pirin and Rila Mountains and in the Western-most part of the Rhodope Mountains. Their total area is 1,568 sq. km. and there are 5 towns and 31 villages situated there, including high in the mountains. The infrastructure is relatively good and ensures access to all settlements. The local roads are being renovated as per the adopted municipal pans. There is Internet in place, which ensures good conditions for modern communications. The region is mountainous and includes reserves, protected territories and National Parks. The area is rich in water resources: rivers, high-mountain lakes, waterfalls (the most famous one being the Sv. Nikola Waterfall – Municipality of Bansko). There are also many thermal springs, the majority of them being unique. The Banya village, located along the Razlog – Yakoruda road, is one of the richest settlements in Bulgaria in terms of thermal water – 72 springs have been found with various temperature and composition. Along the course of the Dobrinishka River, there is the mineral water pool built in ancient times and known as Rimskoto Banche (the Roman Bath). There are two thermal water deposits in the Municipality of Belitsa – one of them with low-mineralised water suitable for daily use and the other – with water suitable for treating locomotor problems. The natural rock formations – wonders of nature, which are the subject of various legends, are also numerous and varied.

  • Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016
    Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016 Abstract We show that unexpected financial windfalls increase corruption in local govern- ment. Our analysis uses a new data set on flood-related transfers, and the associated spending infringements, which the Bulgarian central government distributed to mu- nicipalities following torrential rains in 2004 and 2005. Using information from the publicly available audit reports we are able to build a unique objective index of cor- ruption. We exploit the quasi-random nature of the rainfall shock (conditional on controls for ground flood risk) to isolate exogenous variation in the amount of funds received by each municipality. Our results imply that a 10 % increase in the per capita amount of disbursed funds leads to a 9.8% increase in corruption. We also present suggestive evidence that more corrupt mayors anticipated punishment by voters and dropped out of the next election race. Our results highlight the governance pitfalls of non-tax transfers, such as disaster relief or assistance from international organizations, even in moderately strong democracies.

  • Creation of Soil Water and Physical Data Base and Its Inclusion in a New Version of GIS of Soil Resources Attributive Table
    Faculty of Mathematics & Natural Science – FMNS 2011 Creation of Soil Water and Physical data base and its inclusion in a new version of GIS of Soil Resources Attributive Table Boyko Kolev SWU “N. Rilski”, Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria Abstract: For better using of GIS of Soil Resources a new version of the attributive table formation was created. This gives the possibility soil physical and water properties to be included into the table. The simulation procedure for soil hydro-physical properties determination was realized by using soil particle size distribution data only. This develops a calculation algorithm for soil water content dynamic monitoring, which was realized for some of Bulgarian soils by [2], with developed in his Ph.D. thesis simulation model. The main aims of the study are: To demonstrate how useful is the new version of the attributive table formation. To show how could be applied the simulation model for environment conditions monitoring and agricultural production management. Keywords: environment conditions, simulation model, soil moisture at field capacity, wilting point, effective soil water content, particle size distribution. 1. INTRODUCTION Sustainable agriculture means to create rules and mechanisms, which are created from last reaching of soil science and information about plant science for effective management of productive resources of agricultural lands and protect their ecological functions. For operative of legal information about soil resources the Soil Resources Agency developed Geographic Information System (GIS) that is based of soil survey in scale 1:10000 and together with constant land use and separation. In GIS input an information as follow: soil cover, soil type, particle size distribution, depth of hard roc, salt and carbonate content, mean soil bonitet and soil category for non irrigated areas and bonitet for 22 agricultural crops, slope and exposition of the areas, type and quantity of pollution est.

Magnetostratigraphy indicates that this section was deposited within 2 myrs, be- Pikermian mammals tween 8.5 Ma and 6.5 Ma (late Tortonian to early Messinian). Our investigations reveal that the Sandanski Basin Faunal change infill represents two stacking synrift phases (Delcevo and Kalimantsi formations), with an intervening tectonic Sahara dust quiescence package (Sandanski Formation).
