Today it showcases artefacts from the Neolithic Age to modern times, displayed in four exhibition halls. 1 Museum of History town of Dimitrovgrad The hall entitled "Youth-brigade movement in Bulgaria" is one of a kind in Bulgaria, focusing on a complicated and controversial period of the country's recent past – the time frame 1945-1990. Brigade members' uniforms, flags, awards, photos depicting the daily life of youth brigade members, and other items reveal the history of this movement and immerse visitors in the spirit of the times. The Dimitrovgrad Hall reveals the construction of one of Bulgaria's youngest cities, which became a symbol of Socialism in the 1950s. The Archaeology Hall showcases artefacts testifying to the life in the settlements in Dimitrovgrad Municipality, some of which have had a continuous development since the Neolithic period (6th century BC) to the present day. Part of the museum's fund is known as the "Neolithic man" discovered in 2009 during archaeological rescue excavations of the medieval settlement in the Kar Dere locality near the village of Krum close to Dimitrovgrad.

Lacheva* Department of Botany and Agrometeorology, Agricultural University, Plovdiv, Bulgaria ABSTRACT The present study reports 113 larger fungi in Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean plant communities of Mt Sakar. All taxa are new to Mt Sakar. Of these, 88 species are reported for the first time from Toundzha Hilly Country. The predominant part of species belongs to the class Agaricomycetes (110 species), other part belongs to the Pezizomycetes (3 species). Nine species are included in the Red List of fungi in Bulgaria and Red Data Book of the Republic of Bulgaria, namely Agaricus macrocarpus, Amanita caesarea, A. vittadinii, Bovista graveolens, Clathrus ruber, Chlorophillum agaricoides, Geastrum triplex, Phallus hadriani, and Tulostoma fimbriatum. One species is rare and threatened in Bulgaria and Europe – Phallus hadriani. The following steppe, xerothermic, and thermophilous fungi deserve special attention: Agaricus bernardii, Entoloma incanum, Hygrocybe virginea, H. persistens, Lepiota alba, and Leucopaxillus lepistoides. The aim of the paper is to enrich the information about fungal diversity of the Mt Sakar, which area appears to be important for conservation of the fungal diversity in Bulgaria. Key words: fungal conservation, fungal diversity, larger fungi, Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean plant communities, Mt Sakar INTRODUCTION (3, 4).

  • Development of Peripheral Regions in the Context of the Bioeconomy Paradigm
    SHS Web of Conferences 120, 01001 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/202112001001 BUSINESS AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT 2021 Development of peripheral regions in the context of the bioeconomy paradigm Yuliana Yarkova1*, Blaga Stoykova1, and Nedelin Markov1 1Department of Regional Development, Faculty of Economics, Trakia university, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria Abstract. The existence of peripheral regions is a significant challenge for regional development management. These regions have a specific economic and social profile, and their complex development is accompanied by the consideration of a number of factors that have a strong local significance and, in most cases, a dampening effect. The aim of the present study is to follow the trends in the development of a typical peripheral region in Bulgaria, focusing on identifying the potential of the regional economy for transformation to bioeconomic and circular orientation. The object of the study is the region Strandzha-Sakar, and the subject of the study is the potential for bio-economic and circular orientation based on specific traditional assessments, measuring both economic and demographic trends and local economic traditions. 1 Introduction One of the permanent problems of the socio-economic development of a number of European regions is the continuing tendency of dominant relations in territorial development - "center-periphery". EU cohesion policy is expected to deliver results through national policies and programs, including targeted support for lagging regions. To date, the question is not simply whether national measures have the expected impact, but whether policy and practice priorities reflect current goals for tackling today's new challenges and technological advances. The National Concept for Spatial Development 2013-2025 (NCSD) of the Republic of Bulgaria has set a goal for the transition from monocentric development to a moderate polycentric type of development, and the National Strategy for Regional Development 2012-2021 [1] indicates such priorities for support.
