5. Transport and technical infrastructure of the microregion

Traffic situation is considered to be very significant in development of the region and also in tourism development of the microregion, which in many ways depends on good, easy and comfortable transport accessibility of particular tourist sites. They create main entrances to the microregion together: Víťaz –from Spišská Nová Ves, Krompachy, Klenov – from Košice, Gelnica, Margecany, Bzenov, Rokycany –from Prešov, Radatice - from Košice. The positive feature for the tourism development in the area is its relatively good accessibility, as well as proximity of cities of Prešov and Košice The microregion is connected trafically with superior road network of the European significance – road I/18 (E 50) through the road II/546 and II/547 to motorway D1 through roads II/546 (area Prešov – Vydumanec) and III/18186 (area Široké). The most represented traffic infrastructure in the area are third class roads, which are relatively in good condition. Road II/546 Prešov - Margecany has a mountain character and it connects Prešov with settlements in the valley of Hornád and Hnilec rivers (Lower Spiš so called). It unsuitable for freight and nowadays it is loaded down minimally. In ÚPN VÚC it is thought about gradual activization of the corridor by line failures eliminating, the most serious of which the most serious failures are in stages Bajerov – Žipov – Klenov and Cemjata – Prešov with bypass of the local part of Prešov – Cemjata with a proposal of single routes relayings of the stages with the aim to make more attractive this part for development of their business activities. We recommend gradual realization in category C-9,5/60. As well as the connection of the road II/546 from Klenov to Hrabkov (III/018190) by amendment of existing road III/5466 as the shortest connection the region of Black Mountain to I/18 a D1 is thought about. Local and attendant roads in villages are in suitable condition. In Kvačany, Sedlice, Miklušovce, Víťaz, Bajerov and Brežany they are newly reconstructed. In villages realization of pedestrian paths and hard surfaces for pedestrians due to valid norms. Bus transportation is an unresolved problem. It is not possible to ensure an economic efficiency of passenger transport due to small marginal towns with predominantly elderly population and with a high rate of unemployment. Frequency of bus routes in villages outside main routes is poor and in remote villages with small population it is limited to the most necessary service. The single connections are limited to the interval of once a day especially on Saturdays and Sundays provided by SAD Prešov. Connections of public transport are to Bzenov village. The nearest railway stations are in Prešov and in Košice District in Margecany and Kysak with connection to main railway links Košice, Prešov, Bratislava.

Technical infrastructure

Technical infrastructure of the area is not developed in required extent. Central drinking water supply is not realized and completed in all villages. Residents use local wells as supplies of drinking water. Waste water disposal system in villages is non-compliant. In most villages canalization is not build, or under reconstructioon. Waste waters produced in the villages are diverted into cesspools, which cause leakage into groundwater due to their poor technical condition and thus cause river pollution, too. Villages do not have waste water disposal plants built. Only in Bzenov village it is built waste water disposal plants and in Ovčie and Rokycany villages waste water disposal plants is built. Villages of the microregion are with gas and electricity line. There are no resources of electric power supply in the municipalities. Supply and distribution of electricity is provided

by Východoslovenská energetika a.s. There is a public lighting in the vast majority of the municipalities of the microregion. On the territory of the municipalities, there is a fixed telephone network of Slovak Telekom a.s. GSM signal coverage of Telekom, a.s., Orange, a.s., and O2 operators is relatively good provided. Television and radio signal covers the area of the municipalities. Internet access has recently started to improve. Number of villages where the internet is accessible to residents even though not in a sufficient rate is increasing.

6. Economic characteristics of the microregion

Agriculture Agriculture has undergone difficult and challenging process of transformation and privatization in recent years, the objective of which was mainly the property settlement and gradual transition to a market economy. The transformation of agriculture is reflected in the disintegration of large agricultural cooperatives. This affected the decline in production of crop and livestock. Revitalisation of agriculture would significantly help to increase employment, especially of the rural population. However, the agricultural cooperatives do not count with significant organizational and structural changes in the future. Entrepreneurship in this area is developing at a slow peace. Self-employed farmers are only partially engaged in production of crop and livestock. Interest of the owners in entrepreneurship on agricultural land is minimal, should it be the primary professional activity. The decline in agricultural production had a negative impact also on the use of processing capacities. Problems of rural settlement were not on the forefront of social interest and minimal attention was paid to them. There was a poor social and economic situation in many villages due to economic downturn of corporations and reduction of employees in agriculture, which created job opportunities in many villages. There are self-employed farmers operating in the microregion - SHR – Ing. Juraj Petranský, Ľubovec, Poľnohospodárske družstvo podielnikov Sedlice, Poľnohospodárske družstvo Branisko, Poľnohospodárske družstvo Široké, spoločnosť Agrovýroba Rokycany Crop production focuses mainly on the production of cereals, fodder and technical crops. Livestock production focuses mainly on raising cattle and sheep. Agriculture activity is focused on vegetable production, especially on crops – densely sown cereals, potatoes, rape. Also permanent grass covers are extent, mainly meadows and pastures. Agriculture soil is classified according to the code of bonit soil-ecologic uni (BPEJ) into first – fourth quality groups is not in the area. Land resources is notu sed for growing biomass. In the frame of renewable resources of energy. Existing agriculture lang gives all suitable dispositions for developing agriculrure basic industry to prevent from biodiversity elements. Livestock production is relatively spread, it is focused mainly on raising cattle, sheep and pigs. In Klenov there is a cottage with sheep and cheese and cheese products production. In Radatice there is a private farm with horses.

Forestry The main aim of forestry is planned and permanently preserved managing forests.Forest covers have high ecologic value and they are significant landmark. In representing forest types in the area forests of standard mixed character with dominance of leafy community, represented by woods of the species of beech, oak and hornbeam. In places there are needle-leaved covers of firs, little spruces, mainly on top steeple slopes. Commercial forests have a dominant share on area with the main purpose of production of high-quality wood, with concurrent provision of other forest functions goal of forests. Protective forests and of special determination are situated on steeple slopes, where they fill anti-slide and anti-erosive function. They are situated in an eclave way in the frame of the forests of the Massif of Čierna hora. The management of the forest land is administered in accordance with the forest management plan. Forest lands are owned by private owners who hire them to SR Forests, forest landowners associations and hunting associations. In Bzenov forest lands are hired to Školské lesy Cemjata. Forests are dominated by deer (deer and roe deer) and wild boar. Hunting is widespread throughout the microregion. Hunting associations Sopotnica, Háj, Fiľov, Potok, Brezová operate in the region.

Wood matter is processed in a sawmill Drevovýroba situated in Bzenov, PILVIT Víťaz, sawmill Klenov, wood production with wood dryer Pillban dry Board Ruské Pekľany. At present the way of using forest stock as biomass in the frame of renewal sources of energy is not developed.

Industry and Civil Engineering

Industrial base in the villages of the microregion has no tradition, nor is deeply rooted. There are no industrial businesses in the villages and have never been in the past. Residents educated in technical professions commuted to nearby larger towns. Small businesses specializing in work with wood have dominant position. At present PILVIT Víťaz, Drevovýroba Bzenov, in Klenove Sawmill and joinery – DEALWOOD, wood production Pillban dry Board Ruské Pekľany do business. Private sectos of business in Radatice – sawmill and gáter focuses on wood production. In less extent metalurgy, joinery, building industry and locksmithing are. In Víťaz building company ULIP and firm Kadlubek are. In Sedlice there are two stone pits managed by companies EUROVIA SK and VSK MINING a.s.

7. Environment

7.1. Geological Structure of the Area

In terms of major structural units, the entire studied area covers the outer flysch. Massive claystone and sandstone groups of strata deposited in Paleogene (Tretiary older) and thus gave a specific character to the whole country. In terms of lithological (rock) composition and stratigraphy there are several groups of strata and units that can be distinguished here, but two are the most important:

In the west the massif of Branisko attaches the area.

Geologically the massif can be divided into the northern zone Smrekovica and the south zone Sľubica. In the west it is s from Palaeogenic sediments by poľana faults, in the east they are šindliarske faults. Becauwse of significant fault limitation the northern part of Branisko was cosidered as core mountains. Newer knowledge achieved in building the Branisko tunnel say that the whole mountains is a part so called veporik. Over it there are served rocks of Gemeric in the relics.

Zone Sľubica has a similar geological structure as the next unit Čierna hora. In the north it is created mainly by granitoids of the bujanovský complex. In its top wall there is metamorphed sediment shell complex designated as ružínska unit.

It is created by rocks of upper Palaeozolic to Trias, locally Jura, too, mainly sanstone, carbonates and slate. The southern part of Sľubica builds so called the miklušovský complex consisting of migmatit, gneiss and amphibolits. Its sedimentary shell is created by the hrabkovská unit, which has upper Palaeozolic up to middle jura.

The southern part of the microregion attaches into geomorphological unit Čierna hora. This belongs to core mountains. The range between Volovské hills and Čierna hora goes through the margecianska tectonic line. To veporikum of Čierna hora in places the gemerský nappe is located, what complicates the structure of the mountains, but also it is reflected in its various rocks composition. Crystalic core of Čierna hora consists of mica schist, fylonits, biotitic and two-mica paragneiss. The threshold of black fylitic slate and puddingstone of Carbone is between Margecany and Miklušovce. Mesozoic rocks are found as a shell of core in the ružínska and hrabkovská series, from them the most importante is 300m coarse co-layer of dolomites of the future Sopotnické hills.

7.2. Geomorphological Conditions

Classification into geomorphological units. The area lies within 2 geomorphological units – the main part belongs to Inner Western Carpathians subprovince, Podhôľno-magurská area and the Šarišská highlands geomorphological unit. The highlands pulled in the direction of NW – SE is almost 30 km long, 12-15 km wide with area of 300 km². It is divided into 3 subunits: Širocká, Sedlická and Chminianska furrows. The edge parts of the area belong to Inner Western Carpathians subprovince– in the west Fatra – Tatras area, geomorphological unit Branisko. Chvalabohu pass divides the mountains into 2 subunits. Northern and more massif Smrekovica with the highest hill Smrekovica (1 200 mASL.) and southernward Sľubica with the highest hill Sľubica (1 129,4 m ASL). The southern part of the microregion belongs to the area of Slovenské rudohorie, geomorphological unit Čierna hora and Roháčka.

Forms of relief The Šarišská highlands – in contrary to next mountains like as a ragged depression unlike the Košická hollow basin and Spišsko–šarišské medzihorie. Altitudes are various from 253 – 700 mASL. The middle rake angle achieves 3 – 15 degrees. Branisko – Up to three quaters are in 700 - 1 100 m. Big differences in altitude had back erosion of incline flows in result, which affected innipping water flows and the creation of system of bows. Čierna hora – characteristic for relatively constant altitude (650-750m.n.m.) of main backs and by creeks profound ragged surface. Roháčka is the highest part of the mountains. The massif is elevated in fault line, built by granite-gneiss and svor.

7.3. Climatic Conditions

It is a markly heterogeneously microregion from the point ov view if clime. The locations of the villages in deep valleys with mountain conditions right to conditions in ridge parts of the mountains. In the area there are no complex meteorologic stations ( only raingauge station of SHMÚ in Klenov). Near it is possible to consider records as representative from the complex meteorologic station in Prešov

Climatic zones In terms of classification into climatic zones (According to Lapin et al. - Landscape Atlas of SR), the majority of the area of the microregion falls under moderately warm region (B) (zones M3 and M6) and cold region (C) (zone C1). Zone M3 is moderately warm, moderately damp, table-landed and almost hilly, with more than 50 summer days, temperature in July less than 16 0C, Iz 0 to 60. The eastern of the territory – the valley of the Svinka river falls under this zone. Zone M6 is moderately warm, moderately damp, hilly, temperature in July less than 16 0C, Iz Zone C1 is moderately cool, the average temperature in July is 12 –160 C The valley sites in the valley of Sopotnica (villages of Klenov and Miklušovce) as well as higher situated slopes of Branisko – Sľubica.

Warm zone is represented by warm, moderately damp zone with cold winter. The average temperature in the coldest month of the year – January, is - 4 0 to - 5 0 C. The warmest months are July and August. In July, the average temperature ranges from 18 to 19 0 C. The average annual temperature ranges from 6 to 8 0 C. Temperature above 25 0 C is 50 to 100 days per year. There are no climatic stations directly in the studied or interest territory. For this reason, data from Stropkov climatic station, localized in the vicinity of this territory are presented for the illustration of the climatic conditions in such defined area. Average monthly (annual) temperature ( 0C) for a vegetation period: Station I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII Rok IV– IX Prešov -4,8 -1,7 3,3 9,2 12,2 16,5 18,1 17,8 12,8 9,8 3,4 -0,7 8,0 14,5 Source: SHMÚ

Precipitation Annual precipitation ranges from 650 to 700 mm. The most rainy summer months are June, July and autumn months are October and November. There is a little precipitation in winter compared to summer and autumn. The most of precipitation falls in February. Snow cover lasts 50 – 70 days per year. In year balance in the 20th century there are no long- term changes, because annual precipitation ranges correlate between values coming to 630mm per year. There are no raingauge stations directly in the studied or interest territory. For this reason, data from Prešov raingauge station, localized in the vicinity of this territory. Average monthly (annual) rainfall totals and summer term totals in mm:

Air flow In respective region, north-eastern, east-north-eastern as well as north-western airflow prevail. Air flow speed measures show that maximal average speed belongs to north- north-western and south-south-eastern air flows. Maximal air flow average speed reached 4,9 m.s-1, minimal 2,3 m.s-1 and the average was 3,4 m.s-1in 2000-2004. The maximal speed of five-year order the air flow of the south direction reached speed of 6,1 m.s-1.

7.4. Waters

Surface waters

Two main streams can be considered hydrological axis of the region – Sopotnica creek and Svinka river. The entire territory of the microregion falls within the river basin of the Hornád river – water flows sourcing or flowing through the area are its left-bank affluents.

Sopotnica starts under Klenov in the Sedlická furrow in approx. 625 m ASL. It flows mainly south-easternward. It takes affluents in cadastral areas of villages Sedlice and Suchá Dolina, from the right they are a creek from under Zajačia hora (635,1 mASL.), from under Zadný dol (554,1 mASL), from under Rešetka (576,9 mASL.) and left from under Bystrá (765,8 mASL).It flows through the the valley of the Šarišská highland (upper flow) and the Čierna hora mountains (lower flow), where flows through subunit the Sopotnické hills Sopotnica starts in Branisko, in massif of Smrekovica. It flows tto the south along Šarišské Lužianky and Kojatická Dolina to Rokycany, where from the right it takes the Brežiansky creek (305,0 mASL) and then the Kvačiansky creek and then it flows south-easternward near the edge of Bzenov. From the right it takes the Hlboký creek, flows through Janov and Radatice, where takes Chujava from the left, more significantly it serpentines, it takes rightsight Ľubovec and cuts into the edge of the Čierna mountain. Finally it flows along Obišovce and Kysak and it flows into Hornád.

Underground water

Inpenetrable clay rocks as well as andenzit island hills are without reserves of ground water. Sandstone flysch has smaller appearences of ground water.

Mineral waters

A number of small springs of mineral water can be found on the territory of the microregion. Mineral spring connect to tectonic lines, e.g. in Bzenov and Brežany.

7.5. Soil Conditions

Cambisols are predominant type of soil in the area – on loessial clays if the lowest altitudes cambisoils glued and luvisoils, in the higher altitudes, on flysch rocks cambisoils saturated and in the highest altitudes they are cambisoils unsaturated. In the southern part of the Širocká furrow (Víťaz, Ovčie) modal pseudoglues from loessial rocks and slopes rocks. dominate. In the upper part of the Svinka valley (Rokycany, Bzenov) we find alluvial soils – fluvisoils and pararenzin soils. In the northern slopes of the ridge of the Sopotnické hills renzins and pozolic soils dominate (the Sopotnické hills, massif of Sľubica).

7.6. Nature

The microregion is divided into a lower, central hilly area (tŠarišská highlands) surrounded by the massif of Branisko in the west and by the Mountains of Black mountain in the south. Original nature character was changed by men mainly in hilly and highlands part of Šarišská highlands. The hilly area was nearly totally deforested and it aquired character of cultural grassland with significanr dominance of ploughed land. In the highlands extent grass and shrub pastures on deforested oak forests and oak and oak – beech forests. Flora types are relatively less. Minor complexes of oak – hornbeam, beech and pine forests are served. Near Sedlice scally fern verde and scally fern improper. Forests are focused mainly on slopes of the Čierna hory (Sopotnické hills) and Branisko (Sľubica) and also fragments of forest complexes, which are a part of Šarišská highlands. Forest covers are mainly with mixed character with dominance of broadleaved communities, represented mainly by beech and oak. In patches coniferous covers with pine and fir are on steep slopes, where have antislide and antierosion function. Forest communities represent biotopes of European or national significance.

Non-forest wood vegetation takes a small area broadlly, but it represents a significant landmark in th eframe of the present area structure. In the extravilane of villages this vegetation asserts significantly as greenery on agriculture lands – balks in the meadows, covers of erosive furrows, seedage woods on non-cultivated pastures and meadows, where this vegetation creates transition between forests and grassland. Seedages on exponed slopes in the sorroundings of erosive furrows, originally serving for pasture farming come under successions with various types composition. Significantly greenery asserts on bank covers in extravillane, as well as in intravillane of the village cretated by willows, poplars, and alders. In the micrporegion meadow communities/stable grass covers take significant expance of the surface area. Meadows and pastures are focused on mainly in the central part of the area and they are divided by non-forest wood vegetation. In the area structure mowed meadows and pastures have significant position with a share of non-forest vegetation. The most mowed meadows originated by grassing over of less productive arable., what is positive from types biodiversity point of view. Areas of stems are observated on places of slides, where they were developed iniciation stages of wet meadows. At present meadows biotopes are not mapped generally in this area and State Natur Conservancy of the Slovak republic disposes information of occurence of only biotope of national significannce - mezofil pastures and grazed meadows. Arable land has a significant position in the cadastral area. It is represented by extent patches, which are partially without wood accompanying green. They are patches situated on flat ridges and flats on less steep decline, which are less endangered by erosion. Accompanying green consists of herb component. Vegetation mentioned is on arable lands changed univocally by influence of intensive agriculture production. It is mainly aplication of industry fertilizers and herbicides, which make poor partially weed vegetation, but accompanying green too, mainly in shrub form. The animals – there are mainly forest biotopes with deer, young roebuck, boar and lynx. Among little mammals near water flows there can be found dulovnica and otter.

7.7. Nature protection

There is no national park nor protected landscape area. There are 2 protected areas.

Natural monument Undersea slide

It is situated in the southern part of the cadastre of Víťaz village. Protection of a steep stone wall approx. 40 m high created by stone mining in the contact of Šarišská highlands and Čierna hora. Absence of flora is caused by asence of soil cover. The area has a geological meaning – a show of basal formation of paleogen-

Natural monument Dunit stone

It is situated in the north-eastern part of the cadastre of Sedlice village. The nature preserve is unusual precious deposit of dunit in Slovakia. The nature preserve i sused as a scientific and technical object. It is an area belonging to landscape area network of the Member States of the European Union NATURA 2000.

7.8. Natura 2000

Natura 2000 is the name of protected landscape area network of the Member States of the European Union and the main purpose of its creation is to preserve natural heritage,

which is important not only for the Member State involved but especially for the European Union as a whole. This network of protected landscape area is to ensure the protection of the rarest and most endangered species of wild plants, free-living animals and natural habitat occuring in the territory of the European Union and ensure conservation of biological diversity across the European Union by protecting these species and habitats. The basis for the establishment of Natura 2000 network are two legal standards of the EU: - Directive of the Council of the European Communities No. 79/409/EEC on the Conservation of Wild Birds (also known as Birds Directive); - Directive of the Council of the European Communities No. 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats, Wild Fauna and Flora (also known as - Habitats Directive).

Two protected landscapes extend to the territory of the microregion:

1. The area of European importance SKUEV0330 Dunit stone The nature preserve Dunit stone is unique for its geological construction. Its surface area is 0,35 ha and it is located in the parcel 950. For its area 4th degree of land protection relates to. Protection zone of the nature preserve is a 100 m strip of the area around the external boundary and 3rd degree of protection. The nature preserve Dunit stone was oficially declared in 1964. It is important for occurance of dunit – periodit rich in olivine (more exactly enstatic dunit) on various places serpentinized. Specific herb types - serpentinofytes connect to the subsoil created by ultrabasic rocks. In the nature preserve there are two rarest species of the herbs, scaly fern serpentine and scaly fern intrinsic (Asplenium adulterinum). Occure of licorice fern was discerned. All these scaly ferns grow in stone clefts of risinf rocks. Extiction of the specific flora could be caused by succession of pines in the protected landscape.

2. Protected landscape SKCHVU036 Volovské hills

The landscape declared for the use of biotopes birds species of the European importance and biotopes of migratory birds maintaining and maintaining of conditions their survive and reproduction– black stork, white-back woodpecker, black woodpecker, medial woodpecker, three-fingers woodpecker, field turtledove, forest partridge, wryneck, little owl, Ficedula albicolis, Ficedula parva, Muscicapa striata, Aquila pomarina, Aquila chrysaetos, Sylvia nisoria, Coturnic coturnix, Alcedo atthis, Strix uralensis, Lanius collurio, Tetrao urogallus, Tetrao tetrix, Pernis apivorus, Bubo bubo and Picus canus.

104

In summer season the expected number of visitors is approx. 5 000, in winter season approx. 1 500 visitors. In one-off actions it is approx. 500. They are mainly inland tourists, first of all from Prešov and the surroundings, as well as from the surrounding of Košice Region. From abroad tourists they are mainly Czech tourists and Polish tourists It follows that in relation to economic difficulty of building facilities for long-term recreation and seasonal character of long-term as well possibilities of the whole Black Mountain microregion it is necessary to create connections to short-term recreation in the wider surroundings, mainly in connections to Prešov and available recreation, tourist and sport activities in range of the microregion – of facultative character too..

11.2. Competition and status of the microregion on the tourism market

Specificity of tourism products, especially their dependence on the attractiveness of the environment, infrastructure and economic conditions in the country, puts states and local governments in the position of co-creators of tourism as the activities of the state and public sector are part of an integrated tourist product. In the new competitive global market conditions, the states and municipalities have another important role - to act as a coordinator and catalyst on the corresponding area, encouraging partnership between key service providers. Even though private sector plays a crucial role in the development of tourism, the role of the public sector is to formulate strategy of its development and to define tools in order to ensure it. Therefore the nature and necessity of new orientation of state policy in tourism is essential. At present, the main decision makers in the creation of tourism state policy are the following institutions and organizations: Commission for Business Environment and Tourism of Economics, Development and Transportation of NC SR Committee, Slovak government, Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development of SR – Tourism section, Slovak Tourism Agency, self-governed regions - tourism bodies, regional and provincial tourism organizations and regional agencies that would primarily allow to satisfy recreational activities. Slovak Tourism Agency starts to form the image of Slovakia as a tourist organization mainly on segments based on natural potencial of the country in regions, which can gain help from structural funds of the EU. In accordance with the principles of creation of economically disadvantaged rural communities in the Black Mountain microregion, the competitiveness of the Šariš region and its surroundings is created predominantly by Spišský castle - Podbranisko, Ekotorysa, Salvator, Levočské hills, Horná Torysa ako aj účasť v Karpatskom euroregióne, as well as participation in Carpathian Euro region. Historical development is focused on the city of Prešov, which is in according to ÚPN VÚC of Prešov Region the headquarters of regional importance and the villages of the microregion in the respected area are partially in its subzone. Conditions for the development of tourism in the Black Mountain microregion, which cannot be based only on municipal activities, are clearly not created. The villages have a great potential in the provision of agrotourism in the environment, which provides favourable conditions for development of winter recreation activities. The problem is, however, the summer recreation, especially swimming, even if there is sufficiency of water resources in the area. However, this intention requires great initial costs. Effective attitude of the village and its residents is required in order to improve tourism services, village cleanliness and technical services of the area. Business environment in the field of tourism has not been actuated, there is a lack of information and access to grants for

105

development of rural tourism and a whole range of major forms of tourism with activities of a long term potential. The main type of tourism is short-stay tourism (only during summer season) with an overnight stay. The form of tourism is a cognitive one with walks in the forest, hiking and ski tourism and mainly cycling. The city of Prešov and the towns of Spišská Nová Ves, Gelnica a Krompachy have urban and cultural tourism with an average potential. The fundamental problem is the absence of the Association of “the Black Mountain” tourist development in the Regional Organisation of tourism for creation, or District Organisation of tourism, absence of information services and promotional materials about the microregion, the lack of and low level of quality of basic and supplementary services, insufficient amount of and capacity of accommodation services and catering facilities.

To make and competition and status of the microregion on the tourism market functioning the attendance of the Association of “the Black Mountain” tourist development in the Regional Organisation of tourism, or District Organisation of tourism is necessary .

11.3. Tourism marketing, its organization and regional management To creating basic dispositions for managing development of tourism in the area marketing belongs. By consistent realization conditions for partnership will be created with enterpreneurs in tourism and on the other hand with state organization of tourism - Slovak Agency of Tourism (SACR). It will create be created mechanism for co-financing projects in the frame of marketing and propagation and using all sources determined for these activities will be more effective completely. As well it will achieve itself know-how, with which it will be able to enter international projects. Only by this way it can stand in strong concurrency in international market of tourism and become an equal partner in realization of common projects.

Marketing strategy of tourism – respects survey (multiprofession) character of tourism and complexity of its products - Makes differences of goals of tourism development depending on primary and secondary offer of tourism, from expectations of public sector as well as from expectations of private sector - In Self-Governement creates preconditions for coordination of interests in tourism development - In private sector creates preconditions for cooperation with public sector with the goal of discerning common interests in complex satisfying of tourism participants´needs. In planning tourism development we respect global world trends of the 21st century defined by World Tourism Organization: „deepening globalization and on it depending prosperity of goal regions.“ - Respects using new information Technologies in offer and distribution of products - Goal regions will break through in concurrence market only, when they will focus on its image as a precondition of diversification and expansion of its attractivity - Increasing preferences of tourism participants´orientated on comfort, derogation and acceleration of travelling process, adventure, health, ecology, discovering and culture - Entertainment and amusing – tourism of experience

Tourism, as one of economy cross-sector, is an important part of socio-economic life. Tourism is condsidered an important factor of economic and social development of the Death Valley“ microregion, affecting the creation of new job opportunities, stimulates development of technical and social infrastructure, improves protection of the environment

106

and civic amenities, it is a source of income for the villages and the region. In order to prevent uncontrolled development of tourism, in many cases negatively affecting the environment, it is inevitable to form control structures at the regional and municipal level in the microregion. In this sense, promotion of the development of tourism appears to be necessary and falls within the scope of local government as a coordinator of tourism development in the region. Planning of the development of tourism is determined by elaboration and adoption of concept of tourism development, which sets out the position of tourism, its objectives and sub-strategies in the region to ensure the development of the region. Beneficiary of the adopted concept of tourism development are regional and local government; state government, which defines and coordinates legislation of the development; business entities, which participate in the development of tourism; non-profit associations; residents, who are part of the development in the region and last but not least, a visitor who acts as the end user of products of tourism. Tourism marketing strategy addresses tourism within the region and creation of products, including sales promotion, development of public infrastructure, statistics and tourism product research, education, work with public at building positive attitude of residents towards visitors, building positive image of the region, creation of specific characteristics of the region and creation of brand of the place of destination at the usage of tourism products, and search for financial resources of individual objectives. Tourism marketing strategy identifies development of tourism planning in a time horizon of 10 years. Promotion of destination is part of destination marketing mix. Promotion mix (marketing communication mix) includes communication channels necessary to achieve desired level of demand for destinations influencing the level of demand in the short and long term time horizon, which are absent in the microregion. At present, it is irregular and seasonal demand in the microregion. Like all components of the destination marketing mix, also promotional activities have to be planned with respect to objectives of the destination. Major advertising promotion tools are self-printed brochures, catalogues, flyers, posters, printed as well as electronic postcards, multimedia materials and others..., printed media – TV advertising – specialized channels about travelling, radio advertising, posters and billboards, advertising in cinema and on the internet, which does not only play function of promotional media but also the one of an information source, distribution channel and its equally important educational factors.

In the frame of propagation of the Black Mountain microregion the Association contributes to the Slovak two-weekly paper Obecné noviny. In articles it gives information regularly abou the Assosiation activities relating to culture-social events, sport and other activities organized in single villages of the microregion, as well as actions and activities focused on tourism development organized by the Association of the Black Mountain tourism development.

Development of technical and transport infrastructure to ensure comfort of meeting the needs of the visitors is a necessary requirement. Tourism services are provided by small and medium enterprises as well as entrepreneurs in the field of transport, accommodation, catering, sport and recreational facilities and other tourism infrastructure, travel agencies, tour guides, tourist information system and the so called additional services. Prerequisite for the creation of suitable tourism products is an effective partnership of all service providers (including local residents). The experience of countries with developed tourism show that without participation and effective coordination of activities of private and public sector, an adequate development of tourism cannot be ensured in individual parts or regions and the desired effect cannot be expected. Common practice of business

and public sector in the field of guidance of tourism activities in the territory is to be understood as a key (destination management). The initiator and coordinator of destination management within the territory of the Black Mountain microregion is the Association of the “Black Mountain” tourism development. The aim of establishment of the Association was an effort to make the microregion Black Mountain attractive and visible in a tourist way as well as to support tourism development in the whole area. In Slovakia and also abroad to make cooperation with similar microregions and thus to give experiences to each other in the frame of tourism development and activities in various communities. The subject of activities is to serve annd develop cultural heritage, to help in preserving cultural and social events with inland and foreign partners. It cooperates with the Association for village renewal, Nationa Network for Rural Development, Agency for Rural Development, Slovak Environmental Agency, Regional Educating Centre in Prešov, with associations of Ekosvinka a Ekotorysa, For tourism development cross-border cooperation has very big importance. In this area the Association established cooperation with Polish partner Podkowa Lesná on recommendation of Slovak Institute in Warsaw. It is cooperation in the social – cultural frame as well as in tourism development. In July the meeting was executed on invitation of the Polish partner in Poland. At present meeting of partners is beimg planned in the Black Mountain microregion. In 2008 on movements in Budapest the Association presented successfully cultural traditions and nature givens of the microregion. In 2008 and 2009 the Association took part in Agrokomplex in Nitra. On the movements The Association of the Black Mountain tourism development and its activities were presented. Simultaneously, cultural and historic traditions of the microregion were presented. Single villages are not left behind with activities. Sedlice village has aactive cooperation with Serbian partner. It organizes folklore festivals, where Serbian ensembles take part. Kvačany village has cooperation established with Kvačany village in the District of Liptovský Mikuláš. In the frame of this cooperation a discovering programme was realized in Kvačianska Dolina. Miklušovce village obtained the prize Programme of village renewal for the project village as commonality in 2011. získala ocenenie Program obnovy dediny za projekt Dedina ako pospolitosť. The main thought was created by interpersonal relations, inhabitants´co- sharing in the village life. The microregion is a destination of touristic values, but does not have the potential of leisure, accommodation, catering, information and other additional services. The microregion could become the same magnet for tourist as any other tourist centre in Europe by connection of all the services into attractive products and ensuring their proper presentation on the markets. The microregion has potential of locality and partly human potential, which predict success on the market with tourism products.

We can state that the Black Mountain is a destination of touristic values coming from nature givens, traditions, crafts and served tradition folklore displays, from potential of organizing cultural events, but does not have the potential of leisure, accommodation, catering, information and other additional services. The microregion could become the same magnet for tourist as any other tourist centre in Europe by connection of all the services into attractive products and ensuring their proper presentation on the markets. The microregion has potential of locality and partly human potential, which predict success on the market with tourism products. For fulfilling this precondition priority need of membership in Regional Organisation of tourism, or District Organisation of tourism.

12. SWOT – analysis of respective territory

A SWOT analysis provides an integrated preview of the village situation – its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for development. On the basis of the SWOT analysis, it is possible to define more accurately the most suitable goals, which would utilize the best conditions and positive development impulses, and eliminate problems and potential risks. It also helps with identification of preferred areas that shall be further developed. Because of this reason, it isn’t suitable to divide it to the individual sectors. Besides analysis of the respective territory condition, the subject of interest is also the surrounding area indicating positive or negative effects. On the basis of that, the SWOT analysis is divided into the analysis of the internal area and the analysis of the external area. According to the character of monitored effects, there are distinguished positive and negative factors in the SWOT analysis. Positive factors (strengths and opportunities) are represented by the factors indicating development processes. Negative factors (weaknesses and threats) indicate problems of disparity.

4.3. Measure:

Support of building of tourist infrastructure focused upon active summer and winter tourism.

The territory of microregion offers relatively wide variety of tourist routes – for hiking, cycling, and in the winter season also routes for cross country skiing. It is suitable to add some sections into this network, so that there will be created a possibility to make circuits around the most significant and the most interesting localities in the territory. There will be a possibility for a tourist to plan the circuits according to their difficulty and length with an option to come back to the initial point (in case of arrival by his own car, or in case of accommodation), or to continue on long-distance domestic or abroad tourist routes. To create conditions for downhill skiing in Janov Village, where was a ski lift in the past, we are also planning to widen the ski area with aricicial snowing.

1.3. Proposal for strategy implementation and recommendations

1.3.1. Specification of priority tasks and main themes

Fulfilment of the priorities of the Action plan is based mainly on performance of the activities. Before the individual performance, it is necessary to provide effective functioning of the Association of the “Black Mountain” microregion as the main institution for all performed activities. Fulfilment of the Action plan should be achieved through the following steps: Participation of the Association of the “Black Mountain” microregion in the Oblastná organizácia CR, or Krajská organizácia CR o To provide organisational and legislative accession of the microregion into the Oblastná organizácia CR, or Krajská organizácia CR (The Regional Organisation of Tourism - OOCR, The District Organisation of Tourism – KOCR, ), o Regular and active participation in discussions and meetings of the OOCR, KOCR, o Performance of tasks and obligations arising from the participation in the OOCR, KOCR ,

· Meetings of the mayors of the microregion villages o To create a position of a coordinator, or manager, who will prepare, implement, realise and coordinate tasks and performance of the individual parts of the strategy concept and Action plan (The Strategy Paper research team members will be invited to join the preparation of the microprojects concerning the microregion as the technical advisors), o Coordination meeting of the mayors of the “Black Mountain” microregion villages: - To agree upon method of the Action plan performance, - To determine mutual policy of the microregion towards other subjects (local businessmen, businessmen in tourism, Prešov Self-Governing Region), - To create, or specify, a monitoring system of the Action plan, - To determine a method for selecting priority projects and their financing, - Other regular meetings in connection with solving current questions and implementation of the Action plan.

· Development fund o Financial self-sufficiency of the microregion, cohesion to the financial strategy of the OOCR, KOCR, o To create a microregion development fund for provision of necessary volume of finances for co-financing of the projects, o Involvement of the business sector – in the form of volunteer contributions, or in the indirect form through increasing the tourism fees.

· Propagation and promotion of the microregion o Existence of the Black Mountain microregion is relatively short, therefore the large attention should be paid to its propagation and promotion – external (focused upon potential visitors) and internal (focused upon the inhabitants of the villages, businessmen, information tourist centres, non-profit organisations, etc.)

139

o Internal propagation Creation of space for future active cooperation of public and private sector - Spreading of information about existence and priorities of the microregion, about necessity of cooperation between all subjects in order to provide successful development of the microregion and the whole region of the Upper Šariš o External propagation - Presentation of the tourist attractions on the microregion, - Provide creation of the film document about the the Association of tourism developing „Black Mountain“ - Provide marketing activities – promotion materials: posters, information leaflets, brochures, postcards, maps, promotion articles and souvenirs, - Create web page of the Association of tourism developing „Black Mountain“, and provide its regular updating, - Create an information tourist centre (ITC) for the “Black Mountain” microregion in the villages Bzenov, Klenov, Kvačany, Ľubovec, Miklušovce, Sedlice, Suchá Dolina.

· Registration and preparation of projects o Fulfilment of the Action plan is based on performance of the projects, which were identified as priority projects for development of tourism. o Registration and review of proposed projects will simplify selection of specific priority actions, and it will eventually help to merge the projects (from factual and territorial point of view). Merging of projects will help to decrease the costs for preparation of the projects, and it will also increase their chances for success regarding the request for co-financing. o Finalization of the form of the projects includes mainly defining the project owner, search for potential contractual partners, elaboration of necessary studies and documents, and provision of co-financing. This task is important in connection with the possibilities of using the financial sources form the EU structural funds – mainly from ROP sources. o Basic criteria for selection of projects into the Action plan: - Deadline for realisation of the planned project - Conformity with priorities of the Action plan - Projects of beyond-village importance - Integrated projects and their structure - Type of project carrier and coordinating partners - Current status of project preparation

· Monitoring of fulfilment of the Action plan The purpose of monitoring and evaluation is to discover how the Action plan is being performed, and whether proposed projects fulfil the goals and measures of the strategy. By means of that, there should by confirmed effectiveness of realised measures, and there should be provided effectiveness of spent financial sources. The following types of evaluation can be used for provision of monitoring:

o Preliminary evaluation of the projects It is performed before realisation of the projects. The result of the preliminary evaluation is a decision about providing or not providing of support. Basic criteria for selection of projects are as follows: - Quantifiable expressions of indicators and project outputs - Time feasibility

140

- Significance for the microregion development, solution complexity - Protection of the environment - Significance for the target groups of the visitors - Financial cover of (financing) projects - Conformity with strategy goals - Conformity with basic evaluation criteria for project selection o Continuous monitoring of the projects In case of the continuous monitoring of the projects, there is being discovered whether realisation of the projects goes according to the defined rules, and whether individual stages of the projects meet determined goals. o Final monitoring and evaluation of the projects and the whole action plan

After completion of realisation of the given project, or after termination of the Action plan validity, there will be elaborated a final monitoring and evaluation. The goal will be to discover whether realisation of the projects and of the Action plan has really contributed to the determined goals, and whether there is recorded required development. . · Regular updating of the Strategic document of the microregion and elaboration of an Action plan for the next planning period A strategy of development is not a static document. Development of hiking and tourism in the microregion depends upon successful implementation of the development intentions, which are specified in the projects. They have to be continuously updated on the basis of the monitoring. The Action plan should be updated once every three years, together with introduction of new intentions and prepared projects. Priorities, measures and activities specified in the strategy should be updated in the last year of the strategy validity, or earlier if necessary (e.g. in case of change of conditions, which could significantly influence the microregion development).

1.3.2. Proposal for time schedule of the Action plan (2012 – 2014)

Proposed priorities, measures and activates designated for development of tourism in the microregion are designated to be performed during the whole period of the Action plan. A proposal for time schedule is only of informative character, and it is not binding. At the beginning of performance of the Action plan, it is necessary to pay great attention to preparation of the projects. For reinforcement of motivation of the subjects during development of the cooperation, it is necessary to distribute the individual activities and realisation of the project so that the first noticeable results will be achieved in the first year of the Action plan performance.

The basis for time schedule of the Action plan (2012 – 2014) is a proposal of strategic vision in time horizon in 2025.
