“…That is why disaster risk reduction and enhancement of social sustainability remain key challenges for both developing and developed countries. The main reason for that is the growing exposure of humans and their assets in risk areas on the one hand, and on the other, the increased frequency of extreme natural events due to climate change [4]".…”

The perception of the circular economy as an engine for regional and urban development on the part of the European Union is the result of the perception that all cities and municipalities will be directly involved in the transition to a circular economy, since on the one hand, local authorities have a clear idea of the challenges and opportunities at local level, necessitating the development of own development strategies based on the possibility of implementing integrated territorial investments, combined with funding and planning local initiatives to shift towards a circular economy. The transition to a circular economy necessitates a change in the thinking and perception of existing systems in individual cities and regions, with the development, through the cooperation of a circular model of the economy of the individual regions in the European Union, in which the model would include all stakeholders, as well as the business community -in the face of small and medium-sized enterprises in less developed regions and public sector organizations to support the development of local markets by supporting projects innovations and modern information and communication technologies. The presentation of the circular economy as an engine for regional and urban development in the 21st century is based on the perception that this process relies on both cohesion policy and smart specialization and synergies with European structural and investment funds to stimulate circular economy markets. Attention must be paid both to the macro-regional approach to regional co-operation and coordination in the creation of regional markets and to cross-border and trans-national co-operation programs to support interregional cooperation in the area of circular economy activities in order to transform cities and regions on the territory of Bulgaria, as well as other lagging regions on the territory of the European Union in competitive on the world markets.

“…All of them can be represented by a set of indicators, whose selection should be reasonable and well-grounded. The set of indicators should allow measurement of the vulnerability factors for each of the vulnerability dimensions" [1]. "The social vulnerability represent the socio-economic aspects of vulnerability, for instance, demographic structure of the population (age, education, occupation, awareness and access to information, family structure, etc.…”

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.

The purpose of this report is to identify the deepening socio-economic disparities resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on an analysis of the existing problems in the demographic and socio-economic development of the municipalities in the Republic of Bulgaria, the emphasis is on opportunities to stimulate the regions and their gradual economic and social recovery to pre-pandemic levels. Attention will also be paid to the strategic planning for the reconstruction of the regions and the projected development for reducing the inequalities of the territorial-administrative units in the country in the medium and long term. In the decade to 2030 on the agenda in Bulgaria will be the need for territorial and administrative reform in line with the demographic and socio-economic situation of the country. In addition, the next programming period 2021-2027. Efforts will be focused entirely on stimulating recovery opportunities from the COVID-19 pandemic and the expected financial and economic crisis. Conducting any study to identify the problems arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in the field of regional development would help to implement an effective regional policy, both by the central executive and by local governments. For the restoration and normalization of the socio-economic relations, special attention should be paid to the improvement of the process related to the development of strategies for territory management and utilization of the areas adjacent to the lands of lagging municipalities. On the other hand, it is necessary to perform a comprehensive analysis in order to assess the development of municipalities in the Republic of Bulgaria and to determine trends and prospects for recovery and catching up with the regions in the European Union. This process presupposes, on the one hand, the development and testing of new assessment models, and, on the other hand, the reorganization of the management of the national territory and its constituent territorial-administrative divisions. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, discussions on redefining the concepts related to the deepening disparities between the individual territorial-administrative units should be brought to the forefront, rethinking a number of existing programs and strategies in the assessment of the planned, expected and achieved results from the program financing with funds from the structural funds of the European Union and the provided financing and / or co-financing from the central budget of the country.
