Some of the vital elements of the reforms included veteran settlement and establishment of numer- ous towns – coloniae and municipia. As many as eighteen were thus established in the region during Trajan’s reign.

Unter dem Termin „Urbanisierungsaktivität” muss man sowohl die Gründung neuer Städte als auch die Erhöhung der bereits bestehenden autochthonen Siedlungen zum Rang einer Stadt verstehen. Trajans Urbanisierungsaktivität oder seine Sorge um Provinzen – wenn man es weit angelegt betrachtet – lässt das Bild eines vollkommenen Herrschers (optimus princeps) entstehen2. Sie wurde zur Antithese seiner fortitudo, zur Ergänzung seiner kaiserlichen civilitas3. Szenen, die auf Münzen4 und Medaillons5 geprägt sind, stellen den Kaiser als Priester dar, der eine weiße Kuh und einen weißen Ochsen im Pfluggespann leitet – er trägt eine weiße Toga nach cinctus Gabinius Art und zieht eine Furche (primigenius sulcus)6, die die Reichweite der künftigen Stadt-Kolonie absteckt (Abb. 1, 2). -

The achievement of sustainable development of Bulgarian tourist resorts is questionable after the European Commission has put Bulgaria's two-month ultimatum to prove that it can deal with the problem of dirty air. Tourism is a sector that is accused of violating sustainable development due to its many negative environmental impacts. A significant part of the harmful impact is due to the transport used to reach the desired destination and the movement itself. Sustainable development is a key objective of the EU and Bulgaria should not lag behind in terms of the essential indicators for its achievement. This publication aims to propose effective measures to reduce the harmful impact of passenger transport on the environment by establishing sustainable transport practices in touristic resorts. The environmental component of sustainable development is among its main priorities. Based on expert analysis of Bulgarian touristic resorts, our own research and experience in the studied subject will offer effective measures to increase their sustainability by reducing the harmful impact of transport on the environment. 1 Introduction transport practices in tourist destinations and thus contributing to the sustainable development of tourism. In Sustainable development is a topic of importance to the order to achieve the stated objective, the state of the public since the 1990s as a result of human's threatening Bulgarian tourist resorts will be analyzed in relation to impact on Planet Earth. -

Annex No.3 to Art. 14, para. 1 of ORDINANCE No. 22 from 14.12.2015 for the application of Sub- measure 19.2 “Application of Activities Within the Frameworks of the Community-Lead Local Development Strategies” of Measure 19 “Community-Lead Local Development”(CLLD) of the 2014-2020 Rural Area Development Programme (RADP). (Altered by State Gazette # 38 from 2016, valid from 20.05.2016) CLLD STRATEGY OF GOTSE DELCHEV – GARMEN – HADZHIDIMOVO LOCAL INITIATIVE GROUP Introduction During the 2007-2013 period, for the first time ever, Bulgaria managed to effectively utilize the LEADER method as a tool for decentralized management and integrated local development in rural areas. For the purpose, 35 local initiative groups, comprising 57 rural municipalities and 6 local fishing groups spanning across the territories of 17 municipalities have been established in the years prior 2013 and are still functioning. During the 2009-2011 period, we have performed activities with the purpose of preparing potential local initiative groups for implementing strategies for local development. Additionally, these activities are responsible for teaching skills and ensuring activities can happen on a communal level across the territories of potential local initiative groups under the Rural Area Development Programme. The LEADER method in Europe dates back to 1991. Since then it has been developed as a separate initiative in the EU member-states until 2007 (“Leader I” during the 1991-1993 period, “Leader II” during the 1994-1999 period and “Leader+” during the 2000-2006 period) and as for the 2007-2013 Programme Period, the initiative has been included as a part of the Programmes for Rural Area Development (PRAD) of member-states. -
The Central Rhodopes Region in the Roman Road System
The Central Rhodopes region in the Roman road system Mitko Madzharov The Central Rhodopes region is today’s Smolyan region which in geographical terms is part of West Rhodopes Since ancient times the Central Rhodopes region has played an important role in the development of the economic relations on the Balkans due to the fact that the shortest route between the Thracian lands and the North Aegean coast passed through it [1]. In Roman times the Central Rhodopes region was even more important as the three biggest roads passing through the Rhodopes lay on its territory: the Central, the East and the West Roads [2]. They connected the capital city of the Roman province Thrace – Philippopolis with the big cities situated on the North Aegean Coast on the one hand and the major Roman road – Via Egnatia- on the other (Fig. 1). Besides the above mentioned important Roman roads, there existed in the mountain lots of smaller roads of local importance. The objective of this paper is to describe the layout of the above mentioned roads, the building technique used and their classification. The Central Trans-Rhodopean Roman road was the shortest land thoroughfare which, in Roman times connected Philippopolis with Via Egnatia and the cities along the North Aegean coast. It is the only one of the three main roads passing through the Rhodopes whose whole roadway was on the territory of the Central Rhodopes region. South of Philippopolis it passed along Chernatisa mountain ridge and through the settlements of the villages Churen and Tumrush. In Krustiloto area, Tumrush settlement, the layout passed by an ancient fortress which P.Deliradev classifies as a roadside tower. -
