The transformation processes in Central and Eastern Europe, including
Bulgaria, are subject of many investigations in the last two decades. Up to now there is no
geographical survey on the territorial differences and their course in Bulgaria. The aim of
this investigation is to study these differences in the transformation process in Bulgaria by
28 administrative districts (NUTS3). On the basis of analyses and comparisons of GDP per

parameter) and the calculated values of integral indicator (reflecting the influence of 15
interlocked factors), the existing significant differences in the achieved level of
transformation in the country are shown. At this stage there is no sufficient research to

those with values below it, are losers.... view less
