The territory of Bulgaria is at risk of a number of unfavorable and destructive geological processes and phenomena constituting the geological hazard. The generally high hazard degree necessitates analyzing, evaluation and mapping of the geological hazard and risk processes. Evaluation and mapping of geological risk is the final stage of a long-lasting gathering of information for each destructive geological process. The purpose of the present study is to analyze the principles and order in assessing and mapping the overall geological hazard. Typical hazardous geological processes for the territory of our country are taken into account (active faults, abrasion/sea erosion, erosion, landslides, rockfalls, collapse, swelling, liquefaction of dispersed soils, etc.). A methodological approach is presented to combine all hazardous geological processes into an integrated hazard map. The study presents the results obtained during the implementation of the project “Elaboration of analysis, evaluation and mapping of geological risk” realized in 2016 by a large research team and supported by the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works in Bulgaria.

“…The vulnerability dimension is generally represented by the human exposure to disasters and the coping capacity of the society, economy and ecosystems. Data about risk can be found in risk assessments and in the regional/national spatial data infrastructures for disaster risk management (Manfré et al 2012) but switching from single-risk to multi-risk assessments imposes new challenges ahead the dimensional integration in data models (Babukova and Zlatunova 2016). Platial mobility models can provide rich data, particularly in the vulnerability aspect, which can then be combined with hazard and exposure layers to ascertain disaster risk in a holistic manner.…”

While platial representations are being developed for sedentary entities, a parallel and useful endeavor would be to consider time in so-called “platio-temporal” representations that would also expand notions of mobility in GIScience, that are solely dependent on Euclidean space and time. Besides enhancing such aspects of place and mobility via spatio-temporal, we also include human aspects of these representations via considerations of the sociological notions of mobility via the mobilities paradigm that can systematically introduce representation of both platial information along with mobilities associated with ‘moving places.’ We condense these aspects into ‘platial mobility,’ a novel conceptual framework, as an integration in GIScience and the mobilities paradigm in sociology, that denotes movement of places in our platio-temporal and sociology-based representations. As illustrative cases for further study using platial mobility as a framework, we explore its benefits and methodological aspects toward developing better understanding for disaster management, disaster risk reduction and pandemics. We then discuss some of the illustrative use cases to clarify the concept of platial mobility and its application prospects in the areas of disaster management, disaster risk reduction and pandemics. These use cases, which include flood events and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have led to displaced and restricted communities having to change practices and places, which would be particularly amenable to the conceptual framework developed in our work.

Often, when designing a smart city, monitoring of the city management system, which is the result of interacting systems and standardization between them, has to be carried out, since modern technologies used and defining the city as smart are high-speed optical, sensor, cable and the wireless networks needed to realize the competitive and comparative advantages of a smart city by building intelligent transportation systems, smart grids and smart home networks.…”

The presentation of the problems of smart urban planning on the territory of the administrative-territorial units in Bulgaria requires attention to be paid to the development and application of information and communication technologies in the country, which play a major role in addressing the challenges facing the development of the smart cities of the future. The topic of smart urban planning globally is due to the fact that the majority of the world's population lives in cities, given that the process of depopulation of rural areas continues at the expense of increasing urban population, we can note that about 70% of the world's population now lives in the cities. The result of this process is an increase in the size of urban agglomerations, which necessitates the use of modern technologies as the only means without alternatives in the planning and management of smart cities in the future. For the creation of smart cities in individual countries, a globally coordinated approach should be used, as well as the development of internationally standardized technologies, which will enable better integration and interoperability of information and communication technologies in urban planning, which in turn, it will create an opportunity to achieve regional economic and catch-up growth for the lagging regions. The process of developing international standards related to the harmonization of information and communication technologies, as well as the implementation of policies for the implementation of best practices in the smart planning for the development of the smart cities in the future, necessitate rethinking the main indicators for assessing the impact of information and communication technologies for the development of cities and regions in individual countries.
