Each municipality in central regions is particularly examined by the elaborated methodic materials. The developed agglomeration areas are situated in the central regions. Sofia agglomeration area is presented using General Spatial Plan of Sofia municipality and Municipal Development Plan (MDP) of Sofia metropolitan municipality. It is set out the vision of development and its priorities, objectives and measures. Key words: central regions, agglomeration areas, Sofia agglomeration area, General Spatial Plan, Municipal Development Plan. Introduction The Central regions comprise 45 percent of the Bulgarian territory. The agglomeration areas are formed in them. The present study examines the development of the Sofia agglomeration area – a metropolis in the central regions of Bulgaria. The agglomeration areas are formed within the range of the central regions in Bulgaria – 6 agglomeration areas with a center – a large city, 30 agglomeration areas with a center – a medium-sized town. Six of the agglomeration areas are formations with more than three municipalities, five of them are with three municipalities each, ten are with 2 municipalities and the rest 15 are autonomous municipalities with an established core. These areas represent the backbone of the economy and social and human potential of the country. They have the highest degree of competitiveness and attractiveness for investment and innovation. Eighty eight municipalities with a total population of 5885455 people1 are included within the scope of the agglomeration areas, which constitutes 77.4 percent of the population of the country.

  • BREAD HOUSES NETWORK BULGARIA BREAD (FOR SOCIAL CHANGE) CULTURAL ROUTE “Travel with a Mission”
    BREAD HOUSES NETWORK BULGARIA BREAD (FOR SOCIAL CHANGE) CULTURAL ROUTE “Travel with a mission” The Bread Cultural Route "Travel with a mission" is not a tourist attraction but a destination of experiences. It was developed by Dr. Nadezhda Savova–Grigorova, cultural anthropologist awarded as “Traveler with a Mission of the Year 2012” by the global National Geographic for having travelled 76 countries exploring their bread traditions and helping communities through her “bread therapy” methods. The Bread Cultural Route integrates the categories of cultural, social and green alternative tourism, offering tourists interactive activities that leave them with lasting emotional memory from their vacation in Bulgaria. The route passes through the socio-cultural centers Bread House, part of the Bread Houses Network Bulgaria (www.breadhousesnetwork.org; www.bread.bg) in six cities with rich history and traditions (Veliko Turnovo, Gabrovo, Plovdiv, Koprivshtitsa, Stara Zagora, Sofia). In each house the tourists will master different recipes for the preparation of traditional bread and pastry products and as part of our innovative method for community baking called "Theater of crumbs" they will recreate impressions from each city by drawing in flour and creating sculptures/symbols and out of dough based on local intriguing stories about the bread, the old ovens and bakers and general history of the city, researched and narrated by the leader in every house. Optionally, group kneading may be arranged in a mixed group with disadvantaged people who we assist in every city (nursing homes, orphanages, children and adults with disabilities), which is a unique opportunity for tourists to "travel with a mission" to meet with people in need and create unforgettable emotional ties.

  • THE ESSETERRE CO-IMPACT STORY Melissa Planting
    Rebuilding Bulgaria THE ESSETERRE CO-IMPACT STORY Melissa planting A New and Different Chapter for Bulgaria Bulgaria is a country rich with opportunity, but it has faced challenges in reaching its full potential. Bulgaria is part of the European Union (EU), but has one of the lowest GDP in the EU—with nearly a quarter of its population living at or below the global poverty line—and is experiencing at present the most extreme population decline in the world. Sadly, each year emigration erases dozens of towns from Bulgaria’s map. High death and low birth rates are also significant factors in depopulation, but lack of opportunity is the primary driver for this migration away from the country. As the nation’s men and women search for jobs abroad, severe structural and industrial decay become increasingly common. Experts on distribution of EU funds cite the high concentration of investments and resources in certain regions at the expense of others as a contributing factor to lagging infrastructure and a diminishing population. Before the fall of Communism, Bulgaria was not only produces some of the world’s best Lavender and an active industrial nation, it also had some of the Melissa. Its sunny and dry climate during harvest world’s preeminent essential oil research, development, coupled with dry, well-drained, sandy soils are ideal for and production.
