Bulgarian villages : - an authentic "arena" for conducting academic settlement studies
Milen Penerliev, Veselin Petkov
Documento (.pdf)
AbstractThe report regards the villages in Bulgaria as a place for conducting geographic field studies and research for geography students of the Shumen University, Bulgaria. The basic terrain methods, the purpose and the main parameters studied, have been indicated. The depopulating villages are the main research target of such field trips, given the threat of oblivion of the settlements’ stories, the personal impressions of the local elderly population and the fading of the family memory in those locations. The most endangered elements of the local lifestyle (customs, architecture, migration processes and social activities) have been outlined in the report. The main results of actual settlement research in various rural areas of Bulgaria have been described. The main findings show that demographic aging is a ubiquitous process; there is a risk of oblivion of customs that once used to be important to the local people and, in this sense, of "impoverishment" of the Bulgarian ethnographic memory and literature. Pressing problematic topics such as the closure of schools have been discussed in the report, while in the same time larger villages have been given as a positive example. Last, but not least, the role of such studies for the practical training of geography students, as well as the fostering of their patriotic spirit, their experience in planning and conducting their own studies in the process of professional realization, have also been taken into account.
