Abstract Rhodope Tourist Region is one of the most attractive tourist regions in Bulgaria and one of the few that stand out with almost uniform year-round development of tourist activities. The outlines of the tourist area largely coincide with the outlines of the mountain of the same name. This fact predetermines the exceptional richness and diversity of natural tourist resources. Here are the largest coniferous forests in the country, some of the largest dams, the largest number of caves used for tourist purposes, many mineral springs, bizarre rock formations, etc. The relatively well-preserved natural environment is a prerequisite for the presence of extremely high biodiversity, as well as a large number of protected areas. The region is specialized in mountain tourism, incl. ski tourism and hiking. In connection with the available natural tourist resources, the tourism product is increasingly enriched with various specialized types of tourism, incl. balneotherapy tourism, ecotourism, rural tourism, etc. In connection with the increasingly intensive tourist load, the problem of protecting the natural tourist resources from the growing anthropogenic pressure, as well as the prospects for sustainable development of the tourist industry in the region are becoming especially relevant. The aim of the present paper is to valorize the natural tourist resources of the Rhodope tourist region and to give guidelines for their sustainable use.

In order to implement rural tourism as a successful family business, it is necessary to introduce and adapt its successful business practices to its sustainable development. Such "good business practice" is the implementation of the design of rural tourism product. In this case, the idea is to consider all the elements of a complex/integrated rural tourism product that are embedded in the minds of its main consumer - homo urbanis. The aim is to recreate the desired living atmosphere both through the "appearance" of the individual elements of the rural tourist product and through the way they are presented and "served" to guests. This will facilitate the development of sustainable rural tourism and preservation of cultural and agrarian heritage and traditions.

This study examined the importance of technologies in advancing modern organizations’ corporate social responsibility (CSR). Drawing upon environmentalist and technological theories, we analyzed the shift from the traditional development of technology to the development of sustainable technologies for the further sustainable advancement of organizations. Technology has decisively influenced the development of humankind, but its research has traditionally excluded sustainable development issues. Newer technological visions have addressed the incorporation of technologies in all industries more comprehensively to solve social issues related to environmental protection and sustainable economic development. Such an orientation is followed by several conceptual solutions, such as the sustainable use of traditional technologies, development of sustainable technologies, and interdisciplinary treatment of sustainable technology to extend the CSR model. The results of our study have theoretical implications, highlighting the effects of technological development and new technologies on the course of further societal sustainable development. Practical implications include extending CSR’s Triple Bottom model with a technological dimension to improve organizations’ further sustainable operating and behavior.

The landscape design of resort is in the pressing need of implementing ecological idea with which it can be authentically established as the result of sustainable development involving people-oriented idea. The rapid development plus the reasonable application of landscape ecology provide the theoretical basis for the construction of ecotypic resort. Employing the theory of landscape ecology to instruct the landscape construction of resort may guarantee the sustainable use of its resources. The paper explores the fundamental theories and approaches of eco-design of resort landscape with the case of Yangmei Island Resort and elaborates the dominant ecotype idea in the process of designing the resort landscape to practically put the people-oriented idea into effect, aiming at creating a harmonious landscape and optimizing the resort landscape.

The objective of this study was to develop a set of sustainable development indicators on environmental aspects and apply them to assess the level of environmental sustainability in Phu Quy district, Binh Thuan province. The set of sustainable development indicators was built based on the screening of indicators from some previous studies, as well as developing new indicators to match the research area. The indicators were then be grouped into topics based on the United Nations' 17 sustainable development goals to 2030. In terms of environment, the set of sustainable development indicators includeed 6 topics (main components), 19 indicators (sub-components), of which 6 new indicators were researched and developed for the island and sea area. The result showed that the level of environmental sustainability of the Phu Quy district was good (0.846). In addition, the results showed that the local environmental aspects attained levels of sustainability. Accordingly, main components including clean water - sanitation (MT1), habitat (MT3), natural disaster prevention (MT4) and ocean conservation - sustainable use (MT5) reached the good level of sustainability and tend to keep stable. While sustainable energy (MT2) and forest protection and development (MT6) are quite sustainable. However, the MT6 component tended to decrease that indicated the forest degradation and the impacts on environmental sustainability in Phu Quy district in the future.

The study has like objective, the modernize of integrated control management of aphids and cicades, vectors of wheat yellowishing and dwarf, by optimizing environment-agricture-sustainable development relations. The produced damages on wheat by aphids and cicades, justify the proposed research approaching. Pointed out by as on the last 30 years, the aphids dominante species Sitobion avenae, Schizaphis graminum, Metopolophium dirhodum, Rophalosiphum padi and the cicades: Psammotettix alienus, Macrosteles laevis, Javesella pellucida are registered and well knowed like vectors. Approaching a problem of economical importance and of actual scientific large interest, at national and European level, especially in conditions of profound agro-ecological changes brought by climatic warming and aridity, as the technologic and economic new conditions from agricultural area exploitations, the paper present complex researches, in systemic manner, concerning: knowledge of insects-vectors populations of viruses and micoplasma, which causes the cereals yellowishing, dwarf and nanisme; monitoring and settlement for the risk of this attack extending, with a increase potential, affecting the production of cereal grains cultures and which can causes sowing field compromise, especially of those find in monoculture or those sown early in September; the elaboration of a strategy for integrated agro-ecological control for these insects in Transylvania, through interdisciplinary research about the reductions methods of the attack in function of technological factors: selective insecticides, efficiency economic and ecologic, agro-technical methods and biotic factors: natural entomophagous; environmental protection, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
