The principal grabens along the valley of the river Struma in Bulgarian territory are: Sandanski Graben with the dependent, secondary Strumesnica and Ostava Grabens, Simitli Graben and Blagoevgrad Graben. The great and complex Lower Strimon Gra­ ben in Greece is not treated, because of lack of personal observations. Three sedimentation cycles have been differentiated in these grabens, correlated and dated after Mammals and following the relations between the sediments. The first cycle sedimentation occurred onl y in Sandanski Graben (Fig. 1). It is represented by Del cevo and Katunci Formations (K o j u m d g i e v a et al., 1982; He .n. 5I JI K o a H .n. p., 1986).

Their upper part is Vallesian in age, the lower parts being probably Middle Miocene, as thei r lateral correlate ­ Delee o Formation. The fanglomerates of Katunci Formation are bound to the Petro o fault and to the southern part of the West-Pirin fault proving the dominant acti ity along this faults. The others faults were inactive, or more exact! lacking important vertical movements (Fig. 1). The second cycle is represented in all grabens except for Ostava Graben (Fig. 2). The sediments are of two types: alluvial (alluvial-lacustrine) and prolu ial (fanglo­ merates) . The alluvial-lacustrine and fine-prolu ial facies of the second cycle included the lower part of Sandanski Formation in Sandanski and Strumesnica Grabens, and the alluvial-fineproluvial facies, - Simitli Formation in Simitli Graben and Dzerman Formation in Blagoevgrad Graben. The fanglomerates of the second cycle included the lower part of l(alimanci Formation in Sandanski and Strumesnica Grabens, Cer­ nicevo Formation in Simitli Graben, and the lower part of Barako o Formation in Blagoevgrad Graben.

The most active faults (\dth fault-bound thick fanglomerates) during the second cycle have been Petro o (including the southern part of the West-Pirin), Podgorie, Krupnik, and West Rila faults . The corresponding sediments are 300-700 m thick, and together with the alluvial and alluvial-lacustrine sediments, also accumulated in the grabens, their thickness reaches up to 1 000 m . Normal faults striking 60-90° formed Strumesnica and Simitli Grabens, thus be- ginning to play an important role together with the W-SSE faults of the Struma set, forming the Sandanski and Blagoevgrad Grabens (Fig. 2). At the midst of the second cycle, fanglomerates have been formed in the northern part of Sandanski Graben (Jlindenci Member of Kalimanci Formation) and in the sou­ thern part of Simitli Graben (Gradevo Member of Cernicevo Formation) (K o 10M­ p., >t< He sa H p.,p ., 1984; He p., H n K o s H p.,p., 1986).

  • Models of Architecture from the Middle Ages to Present on the Valley of Struma River
    MODELS OF ARCHITECTURE FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO PRESENT ON THE VALLEY OF STRUMA RIVER Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria Brestovo Monastery “St. Archangel Michael”, Municipality of Simitly, Bulgaria Pirin village, Bulgaria Melnik, Bulgaria Serres, Greece Blagoevgrad is the largest city in Southwest Bulgaria, the administrative center of Blagoevgrad District and Blagoevgrad Municipality. It is situated at the foot of the southwestern slopes of the Rila Mountain, in the valley of the Struma River, 100 km south from the capital Sofia. The city is located on the two banks of the Bistritsa river, just before its inflow into the Struma River. Besides the clear waters of the river, important factors for the development of the city were the mineral springs and the favorable central location of the city, situated between Sofia and Thessaloniki, Kyustendil and Razlog. About 35 km away from the city, in the upper course of the Bistritsa River, is located the ancient Parangalitsa forest - one of the most valuable reserves in Bulgaria. In 1973, it was proclaimed by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. The history of Blagoevgrad dates back to 10th century BC. The Thracian settlement Skaptopara (Upper Market) was founded around the mineral springs around 300 BC. This settlement has been associated with the Thracian tribe Denteleti who inhabited the upper valley of the Struma River. In the 1st century AD the Thracians were conquered by the Romans. A Roman settlement from 3rd-5th century has been discovered in 2017, near the village of Pokrovnik, about 3 km from Blagoevgrad. The establishment’s location did coincide with the planned route of Struma highway and it has been destroyed, with only a few of the excavated buildings being moved away from the road.

  • Annex REPORT for 2019 UNDER the “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY of the REPUBLIC of BULGAR
    Annex REPORT FOR 2019 UNDER THE “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA 2012 - 2020 Operational objective: A national monitoring progress report has been prepared for implementation of Measure 1.1.2. “Performing obstetric and gynaecological examinations with mobile offices in settlements with compact Roma population”. During the period 01.07—20.11.2019, a total of 2,261 prophylactic medical examinations were carried out with the four mobile gynaecological offices to uninsured persons of Roma origin and to persons with difficult access to medical facilities, as 951 women were diagnosed with diseases. The implementation of the activity for each Regional Health Inspectorate is in accordance with an order of the Minister of Health to carry out not less than 500 examinations with each mobile gynaecological office. Financial resources of BGN 12,500 were allocated for each mobile unit, totalling BGN 50,000 for the four units. During the reporting period, the mobile gynecological offices were divided into four areas: Varna (the city of Varna, the village of Kamenar, the town of Ignatievo, the village of Staro Oryahovo, the village of Sindel, the village of Dubravino, the town of Provadia, the town of Devnya, the town of Suvorovo, the village of Chernevo, the town of Valchi Dol); Silistra (Tutrakan Municipality– the town of Tutrakan, the village of Tsar Samuel, the village of Nova Cherna, the village of Staro Selo, the village of Belitsa, the village of Preslavtsi, the village of Tarnovtsi,

Acta Biologica Sibirica 7: 125–141. https://doi. org/10.3897/abs.7.e67015 Abstract Bulgarian ground beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) fauna is relatively well studied but there are still many species and regions in the country which are not well researched. The present study aims at complementing the data about the distribution of the carabids from the tribes Pterostichini, Spho- drini, and Platynini, containing many diverse, interesting, and endemic species. It gives new records for 67 species and 23 zoogeographical regions in Bulgaria. The material was collected in the period from 1926 to 2021 through different sampling methods. Twenty-three species are recorded for the first time in different regions. Six species are reported for the second time in the regions where they were currently collected. Thirty-one species have not been reported for more than 20 years in Eastern and Middle Stara Planina Mts., Kraishte region, Boboshevo-Simitli valley, Sandanski-Petrich valley, Lyulin Mts., Vitosha Mts., Rila Mts., Pirin Mts., Slavyanka Mts., Thracian Lowland, and Sakar-Tundzha re- gion.

    SES 2013 Ninth Scientific Conference with International Participation SPACE, ECOLOGY, SAFETY 20 – 22 November 2013, Sofia, Bulgaria EROSION POTENTIAL MODELING OF THE TERRITORY OF MUNICIPALITIES PEHCHEVO AND SIMITLI USING REMOTE SENSING DATA Ivica Milevski1, Ekaterina Ivanova2 1Ss Kyril and Methodius University of Skopje 2Spase Research and Technology Institute – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Keywords: GIS modeling, erosion potential, remote sensing, Pehchevo, Simitli Abstract: This work presents an evaluation of soil erosion in the municipalities Pehchevo and Simitly based on digital data integrated in GIS settings, Digital Elevation Model generated on the basis of satellite data - ASTER Global DEM, a modified version of 2012 with spatial resolution of 30 meters and satellite images from Landsat ETM +. In the generation of the model to assess the potential erosion the following factors was reported: erosion resistance of soils and rocks, the influence of vegetation cover, the slope gradient, average annual rainfall and average air temperature. These factors was considered that have the most significant impact on the development and manifestation of erosion. In assessing the average potential of the erosion in the municipalities Pehchevo and Simitly, the model of Gavrilovic 1972 is used. This model have been successfully applied in different parts of the region of the Balkan Peninsula, where it have been compared with actual performance. Therefore we believe created as a result of applying the model thematic map of erosion potential is sufficiently representative of the cross-border region of the two municipalities.
