Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
  • Coastal Zone Management

Background:

  • Coastal cities like Varna face long-standing environmental protection and coastal zone management challenges.
  • Landslides on coastal slopes have emerged as a critical and difficult-to-resolve issue.
  • The coastal area of Varna, vital for ports and resorts, contributes to Black Sea environmental problems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a method for analyzing collected data to address coastal slope and environmental issues in Varna.
  • To create a user-friendly front-end application for automating data analysis and map generation.
  • To improve decision-making processes for coastal zone management and environmental protection.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of area-specific geographical data, including hydrologic networks (transport lines, lakes, streams, rivers).
