The role of urban planning as a driver of land value creation is examined, with particular attention to the mechanisms through which this value may be captured for public benefit. The study analyses the relationship between planning decisions, the regulatory framework, and land value dynamics in the Bulgarian context, applying the OECD-Lincoln analytical framework to systematically examine the processes of value creation, capture, and redistribution.To this end, the theoretical foundations of land value formation ...

A common practice under modern conditions in urban planning is the tendency of urban areas to grow, which is usually at the expense of agricultural areas. This, both in a global aspect and specifically for Bulgaria, is a particularly relevant problem due to the extremely important ecosystem functions of soil resources and the fact that they are an extremely slowly renewable natural resource. The assessment of ecosystems condition and their services is a suitable approach as an additional study on the effects of ch...

The aim of the study is to look for ways for applying the principles of sustainable development in spatial planning through approaches that reflect modern trends in the field of ecosystem research, environmental protection and provide an optimal living environment. For this purpose, the regulatory documents for spatial planning in Bulgaria were analyzed, as well as the possibilities for applying within their framework approaches for objective assessment of the ecosystem-s state and their capacity to provide ecosys...
