Pentchev P. et al. HYDROGEOLOGY OF THE DOLNA BANYA THERMAL WATER BASIN 50 years University of Mining and Geology “St. Ivan Rilski” Annual, vol. 46, part І, Geology and Geophysics, Sofia, 2003, рр.281-286 HYDROGEOLOGY OF THE DOLNA BANYA THERMAL WATER BASIN Pavel Pentchev Vassil Zahariev Boryana Deneva University of Mining and Geology University of Mining and Geology University of Mining and Geology "St. Ivan Rilski" "St. Ivan Rilski" "St. Ivan Rilski" Sofia 1700, Bulgaria Sofia 1700, Bulgaria Sofia 1700, Bulgaria E-mail:[email protected] E-mail:[email protected] Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT The study is devoted to mineral water occurrences at Kostenets, Dolna Banya, Momin prohod, Pchelinski bani, revealed within the Kostenets graben depression. Specific geological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical conditions of the above mentioned occurrences of mineral water are the reasons for treated them as parts of a common hydrogeological structure, denoted as Dolna Banya thermal water basin. Scope and boundaries of the basin are delineated. A description of individual mineral water occurrences is presented. The discharge of each of them is assessed on actual measurements and observations of discharge regime. The total outflow of mineral water from the occurrences of the Dolna Banya thermal water basin recently amounts to 53 l/s. The hydrochemical characteristic of mineral waters is presented as well as regularities in the distribution of composition and temperature. A conceptual computer model of the Dolna Banya thermal water basin is compiled and it is used for determining the cathcment areas for each of the mineral water occurrences. The model confirms hydraulic connection between specific parts of the basin and in the meanwhile studies the determination of Kostenets occurrence of mineral water as an autonomous part of the basin. -

Literacy and Census: E Case of Banat Bulgarians, 1890–1910
144 P P Literacy and Census: e Case of Banat Bulgarians, 1890–1910 Literacy is a dynamic category that changes over time. e understanding of writing has gradually been expanding while its public signi cance has been increasing. e transition to widespread literacy was performed from the 17 th to the 19 th centuries and was connected with the rise of the bourgeoisie, with the development of services and technology that generated economic demand for literate workers. is transition was a slow and gradual process and deve- loped at di erent rates in di erent geographical regions, but from a global point of view it was marked by unprecedented social transformation: while in the mid-19 th century only 10% of the adult population of the world could read and write, in the 21 st century – despite the ve-fold increase in population – 80% have basic literacy. 1 In recent decades this transformation has caused a considerable research interest in the history of literacy and the process of over- coming illiteracy. On the Subject of Research Herein, with respect to the spread of literacy in Austria–Hungary are studied the Banat Bulgarians, who are Western Rite Catholics. In 1890 they numbered 14 801 people. At that time the Banat Bulgarians had already been seled in the Habsburg Empire for a century and a half. ey were refugees from the district of Chiprovtsi town (Northwestern Bulgaria) who had le Bulgarian lands aer the unsuccessful anti-Ooman uprising of 1688.

Discussion Papers 2007. Regionality and/or Locality 169-177. p. SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHANGES IN BLAGOEVGRAD IN CONNECTION WITH THE INTEGRATION OF BULGARIA’S TO EU ALEKSANDRA RAVNACHKA This research aims to demonstrate, analyze and assess the socio-economic changes in Blagoevgrad municipality in connection with Bulgaria's integration to the EU. The municipality of Blagoevgrad is located in Southwest Bulgaria and occupies an area of 628 km2. According to the regional scheme of the country, the munici- pality includes the town of Blagoevgrad and its adjacent 25 villages. The town of Blagoevgrad is situated of 100 km south of the capital city of Sofia and proximity by the Republic Macedonia and Greece. The geographical location of the munici- pality favours its development. The demographic factors have a considerable im- pact on the development of Blagoevgrad municipality. Until 1998 its population was growing but since then it has been slowly decreasing. During 1992–2001 the average annual population drop was by -0.05%. The main causes for this decline are a low birth rate, high death rate, migration, etc. In 2005 the inhabitants of the municipality were 77,183 (data source: GRAO) which constituted 23.2% of the district's population and 1.0% of the country's population (Table 1, Figure 1). Most of the municipality’s population lives in the town of Blagoevgrad. The share of urban population in the municipality is 91.2% and has the rural population – 8.7%. For comparison sake the ratio urban: rural population in the whole district is 57.2%: 42.8%. -

Milen Penerliev 1 Alternative tourism is a form of tourism which represents an alternative to the conventional mass tourism. Its forms are small-scale, low-density, divided into forms practiced in urban (religious, cultural, business) and rural areas. Alternative tourism is an attempt to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the existing resource base, which is fundamental for tourism itself. Alternative tourism is featured by active encouragement and care for the development of additional andspecific attractions as well the infrastructure, which are based on the local resources, while at the same time aiding the latter. It has an impact on the quality of life in the region, improves the infrastructure and increases the educational and cultural level of the local community. -

A Comparative Study of Post-Ottoman Political Influences on Bulgarian National Identity Construction and Conflict

Baumann, PhD – History Committee Member Date Defended: 15 May 2008 The Thesis Committee for Spencer S. Stith certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST-OTTOMAN POLITICAL INFLUENCES ON BULGARIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION AND CONFLICT Committee: ___________________________ Elif Andac, Chairperson* ___________________________ Ebenezer Obadare ___________________________ Robert F. Baumann Date Approved: 08 June 2008 ii Abstract Bulgarian society has a successful history of maintaining a relatively peaceful multicultural environment over centuries. This thesis is a comparative analysis of three transitional periods in Bulgaria coinciding with 1) the latter years of Ottoman dominion: 1762-1877, 2) the end of the Balkan Wars and World Wars I and II: 1878- 1947, and 3) the latter years of the Communist dominion: 1947-1989. These periods will be analyzed with the aim to understand the role that regional political agendas have played in shaping an imagined Bulgarian national identity. It will be shown that when it has occurred, identity-based conflict in Bulgaria can be better explained by examining the contributions of nationalist political influences from 1876 – 1989 on identity construction rather than an inherent Balkan propensity to religious and ethnic intolerance.
