DECENTRALIZATION OF SOCIAL SERVICES IN BULGARIA – EXPECTATIONS AND REALITY

Abstract: In the last decade Bulgaria was trying to develop the decentralization in the state government and thus to provide services which are more effective and closer to citizens. One of the aims of the two strategies for decentralization adopted in the period 2006 – 2015 was to ensure decentralised social services for citizens. Now, after more than 10 years, the analyse shows that there is no progress and no decentralization. Some of the reasons for this is the mistaken understanding of the delegation as a form of decentralization. This is way the first part of this article tries to explain the main theoretical aspects of decentralization and its distinction from the delegation. The second part is aimed at explaining the main errors in the last strategies for decentralization and thus the reasons for their failure.

MODERN METHODILOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE REGIONAL MORPHOSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Abstract: The Earth’s relief- sphere is a product of complete interaction between endogenous and exogenous earthly energies. In this aspect main indicators for surface expression of endogen processes are the morphostructures.
In the light of the Plate tectonics during the last decades research of morphostructures are introduced new principles and methods presented the contemporary level of geographical knowledge. Now days such modern methodical approach is the morphostructural analysis. Its implementation request perceiving of scientific innovations and strictly clinging to determined geo-dynamic conception for genesis, essence and the laws of outcropping geo- tectonic evolution of the Earth lithosphere.

THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES OF THE PROBLEM "DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN"
Sociological study. 

Abstract: The problems of the children from the homes are an object and subject of intensified scientific interest from the beginning of the 90s of the 20th century. This interest is predominantly within the limits of such scientific disciplines as social work, pedagogy, special pedagogy, psychology, and less often in the sphere of sociology. However, the problems of homeless children related to their readiness to live outside institutions and ways to cope with their living problems in a natural social environment seem to remain under the storm of everyday prejudices and negative stereotypes. In the presented study, a mixed approach is used. elements of different theories, concepts and methods in the field of interpretative sociology have been taken into account and used to analyze as far as possible the phenomenon of interest and to obtain a comparatively complete picture of it.
