“…Komarova et al note that the infrastructure has an important role for regional competitiveness but it must not be overestimated (Komarova, Zjablova, & Denmukhametov, 2014). Caruso and Miro have studied one aspect of sustainable regional development by analysing 'the relationship between the successful positive influences for farms and the diversifying its activities with respect to the tourism' (Caruso & Miro, 2016). Ivanova, Kamola and Kamols have researched income inequality and human capital as factors for the economic development of the regions in Latvia (Ivanova, Kamola, & Kamols, 2016).…”

The sustainable development of a country depends on many factors. One of them is the balanced development of regions. The aim of this research is to study the inequalities between regions (NUTS 3 level) in Bulgaria by application of the Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI), a tool, which is based on 10 important for regional development indicators. The paper presents the last RCI ranking list (for the 2016 year) and analyses and compares it with the ranking lists for previous years. The results show significant inequalities between the capital region and other regions for the whole period and relative small imbalances between other regions. The RCI ascertained relatively stable groups of most competitive and most non-competitive regions.

In Apulia, minor rural buildings are normally affected by intense forms of abandonment and decay. These minor constructions are often reused in ways that are not in line with both their own characteristics and the territorial context that encloses them. These forms of deterioration often lead to disappearance of this heritage. This study is focused on the analysis of the minor rural building heritage and its relationship with the actual territory context of the Local Action Group Sud Est Barese (LAG SEB), made up of nine municipalities. The official cartography of Military Geographic Institute (IGM, 1:25 000), the Regional Technical Map (CTR, 1:5 000), the Informative Territorial System (SIT Puglia) database, and the Geographic Information System (GIS) software ArcMap ArcGis 10.5 were used in order to constitute the base cartography. To obtain information about localization of the rural buildings, IGM cartography has been used due to the greater number of contents related to the classification of buildings. Successively, the overlapping of IGM and CTR map data and the comparison of them with the digital orthophoto were useful to verify whether the buildings listed on IGM cartography still exist. All main territorial features were analyzed using datasets obtained from IGM, CTR and SIT Puglia databases. This work allowed to investigate the possible relationships between the typology and the distribution of minor rural buildings and the major territorial characteristics, such as land use, road network, orography, and karst formations. It was highlighted that, although all nine municipalities examined fall under the same LAG, these are very different from the point of view of territorial peculiarities and the use and enhancement of resources. Rural buildings in their territorial context near the coast show more diversified potentials, as these areas include different realities (urban centers, tourist and seasonal residential areas, production areas, etc.), while the innermost buildings are located in municipalities with a predominantly productive destination. The obtained results represent useful information to outline intervention policies, the implementation of which would serve to attempt to recover the building structures, or improve the quality and way of using them.

Use of GIS to Evaluate Minor Rural Buildings Distribution Compared to the Communication Routes in a Part of the Apulian Territory (Southern Italy)

The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between minor rural buildings and the most relevant communication routes of the regional area made up of six municipalities which, until 2016, formed the Local Action Group Sud Est Barese (LAG SEB): Acquaviva delle Fonti, Casamassima, Conversano, Mola di Bari, and Noicattaro e Rutigliano (Apulia, Italy). Information on the territorial distribution and typological classification of buildings was obtained by the official cartography of Military Geographic Institute (IGM, 1:25,000) and the Regional Technical Map (CTR, 1:5000) using the Geographic Information System (GIS) software ArcMap ArcGis 10.1. IGM cartography was chosen due to the greater amount of information pertaining to typological classification as well as to toponymy identification. CTR cartography, used as a second cartographic source, has been useful for acquiring more up-to-date territorial information compared to the IGM, in particular concerning the infrastructures of the territory. Moreover, the use of the CTR has allowed us to verify whether buildings listed on IGM cartography still exist. The cartographic calculations have allowed us to investigate possible relationships between the typology and distribution of rural buildings and the network of public roads and urban centers. The study of the connection between building types, roads and urban centers has allowed us to better understand the spatial distribution criteria, thus acquiring useful information to outline intervention policies, the implementation of which would be used to attempt to recover and improve building structures.
