Project Hydrogeological and
Water Balance Models
Scope
Examines shortfalls in the water balance model proposed by the HPC
pre-feasibility study and concerns expressed in the Environmental
Assessment carried out by ACG relating to water infiltration, impact on
surrounding agricultural land and raising of groundwater tables in the
floodplain. Amends the previous model used and provides scenarios for
flooding of Belene and Kalimok-Brushlen.

Wetlands Restoration
and Pollution Reduction
Project - Design of
Nutrient Trapping
Monitoring System
(ERM - February 2002)
This report provides the design for an environmental monitoring plan. It
is based on the technical design studies undertaken by HPC- Bulgaria
EOOD, and AQUATEST and Bulgarian representatives from the
Central Laboratory of General Ecology of the Bulgarian Academy of
Sciences on behalf of the World Bank through the Bulgarian Ministry of
Environment and Water (MoEW). It provides an outline basis for the
proposed monitoring points and parameters. A system to monitor the
nutrient trapping of phosphates and nitrates through different
environmental media (soil, water, plants, etc.) of the wetland areas
treated by the project is proposed. The plan provides the possibility to
monitor the impacts of wetland restoration on the biodiversity of the
area. Parameters, monitoring frequency and equipment required are
identified for both sites. Some guidance on the development and
maintenance of a monitoring database is also provided.

Design of Project
Monitoring and
Evaluation System
(M&E) for the “Wetland
Restoration and
Pollution Reduction
Project” - Club
Ekonomica July 2004
The report comprises three relatively separate parts. The first covers
the monitoring of implementation of management goals and objectives
at both sites, the second provides a detailed stakeholder analysis and
attitude survey and the third concerns the institutional capacity
assessment. A series of goals e.g. “To provide for the support of
stakeholders to adopt environmentally-friendly economic activities in
the two project areas”, are presented together with a methodology for
monitoring implementation and sources of verifiable results. An action
plan to implement the overall three main objectives for each site is
outlined together with a timeline and responsibilities. A series of nine
main stakeholders are identified. Analysis is provided from focus
groups, population survey and stakeholder questionnaires. The main
findings show a low level of awareness and the use of informal
channels of communication but overall support for the WRPRP.
Expectations relate to employment and tourism. The report
recommends: (a) an information campaign, (b) more engagement of
stakeholders and (c) more involvement of local communities. The
institutional capacity assessment outlines the main tasks and the
qualifications necessary to implement them and based on this analysis,
a staffing structure is proposed for both sites.

Technical Studies for
the Design of Wetland
Restoration and
Nutrient Trapping Final Report (HPC and
Aquatest - November
The report concerns the identification and design alternatives of
wetland restoration scenarios (costs and benefits) at the pre-feasibility
level and includes recommendations on the most feasible flooding
scenarios for both sites. Scenarios should aim to (a) maximise the
water flow though the system and thereby optimise nutrient availability
and nutrient trapping, (b) restore biodiversity, (c), maximise fish

Scope
production and thereby create opportunities for fishing industry, (d)
minimise sedimentation and (e) restore former wetlands destroyed by
river fortification. Based on a hydrodynamic model and using available
data, a series of technical alternatives (5 for Belene and 3 for Kalimok)
are elaborated. In Belene Alternative 5, flooding to 21.0 m was chosen
as it resulted in the biggest benefits in terms of nutrient trapping, wood
and fish production. In Kalimok Alternative 2, flooding to 14.0 m was
chosen as it combines the biggest benefits in terms of nutrient trapping,
wood and fish production and requires the least farmland. An initial
estimate of nutrient trapping is provided. The report recognises
shortcomings in terms of the model used and the estimation of impacts.

Wetlands Restoration
and Pollution Reduction
Project - Environmental
Assessment - (ACG
2002)
The report undertakes a standard environmental impact assessment of
the planned restoration works at both project sites. It recommends the
construction of special fish ladders for the less agile fish species from
the lower stretch of the Danube. In relation to fish resources, the report
recommends that the wetlands should be provided with an aquatic
regime capable of feeding the Danube with larvae and juvenile fish.
Concerning the improved purification capacity of these wetlands, a plan
for the optimal management of the water in the floodplains in relation to
the water level in the river should be elaborated. The report also
recommends the removal of all possible organic waste from the project
area to reduce the limited loading of the flood areas. The consultants
consider the risk of negative impacts by ground water in both project
areas as very high during spring because of the possible impact on
agricultural lands and of the different ownership of land. The mitigation
plan identifies and addresses five issues: (1) reduced pollution and
increased fish stocks as a result of wetland restoration; (2) risk of
flooding and negative impact of the ground water; (3) health risk
(mosquito infestation); (4) impacts of the construction phase on
biodiversity, habitats and rare species; and (5) impact of the deposition
of excavated spoil. The overall conclusion is that the proposed project
complies with the environmental requirements of the World Bank and
the restoration is entirely possible with minimal negative impacts on the
local population and on the environment. Any further wetland
management would result in a significant increase in fish resources
with positive economic benefits for the local population, restored unique
biodiversity and reduced biogenic elements and pollution (although not
to a large extent).

Wetlands Restoration
and Pollution Reduction
Project Communication
Strategy - (April 2004)
An integral part of the World Bank (WB) project (and the Management
Plans) are actions related to public outreach, building of environmental
awareness at local, regional and national level, and support for local
business initiatives focussing on nature-friendly agriculture and
ecotourism. An overall communication strategy which will later serve as
a foundation for the communication strategies of the two protected
areas is required to support these objectives. The strategy was
developed with the active involvement of the administrations of both
protected areas and their key partners - local authorities, educational,
cultural and religious institutions, non-governmental organisations,
business, etc. The key target audiences are also partners in the
process of development and implementation of the strategy. The
communication actions are divided into five groups according to the
target audience and messages, and appropriate approaches: (1) public
outreach and media relations; (2) environmental education at national,

regional and local level; (3) visitor services; (4) training and consulting
for local agriculture workers and entrepreneurs; and (5) project
promotion. There are ten strategic principles (proactive, team building,
consistency of messages etc.), which, if applied throughout the
implementation of the communication strategy will ensure that the
objectives are successfully achieved. A two-year costed and phased
action plan is developed based on the outcomes of workshops carried
out in both protected areas with the participation of the administrations
and their partners.

- Management Planning
of Protected Areas Consultants team for
terms of reference
(WWF-Auen-Institut
November 2001)
This is a detailed and comprehensive report. The introduction provides
the historical background and context for both sites. The report
addresses seven main tasks: (1) Work Plan for biodiversity baseline
inventory; (2) data investigation (gap analysis); (3) preparation of ToR
for development of the management plans; (4) institutional model for
management; (5) design of methodology for biodiversity monitoring; (6)
proposal for protected areas activity to be financed under the GEF
project; and (7) assessment of near natural flooding in Belene Island
and Kalimok-Brushlen PS. The data investigation, while providing a
series of data sources, also undertakes a gap analysis for flora and
fauna datasets and shows the status of baseline inventories. The report
discuses the legal basis for protected areas and provides an
institutional analysis with responsibilities and mandates. Administrative
structures, together with resources and costs, are proposed for both
sites. An outline monitoring plan for aquatic and terrestrial habitats is
provided together with the resources required and costings. The Public
Awareness Plan includes community development, awareness raising,
training and community development aspects (ecotourism, resource
management).

Action Plan for
Implementation of
Strategy for Protection
and Restoration of
Floodplain Forests on
the Bulgarian Danube
Islands 2003 - 2007
The project concerns the technical parameters for construction of
facilities for wetland maintenance. The expectation is that the
restoration will result in nutrient reduction of the Danube waters,
increase in the unique biodiversity and fish population with consequent
economic benefits for the local population.
The Action Plan outlines the background and rationale for restoration of
the floodplain forests - (The Bulgarian Danube islands encompass14
groups of habitats with 53 main types and combinations. Seven islands
and island groups are Important Bird Areas, four are important areas
for the conservation of European flora and fauna under the European
programme CORINE BIOTOPES, and one island is part of a Ramsar
site.). Sites for restoration and criteria for selection are presented as
well as a discussion on methods to be used and silvicultural activities.
The Action Plan addresses: (a) the expansion of existing and
designation of new areas; (b) improving protected areas management;
(c) practices for sustainable use; and (d) capacity building. Activities
are costed and phased over the planning timeframe.

Strategy for Protection
and Restoration of
Natural Floodplain
Forests on the
Bulgarian Danube
Islands
The strategy sets out the current status of floodplain forests, their
biological importance and threats to their continuation. The main aims
of the strategy are to: (a) preserve the existing natural habitats and
communities on the Danube islands; (b) expand the area of floodplain
forests with local species; (c) preserve habitats of rare, protected and
valuable wild plant and animal species; (d) preserve the tree species
gene pool; (e) provide conditions for sustainable preservation of timber
and non-timber island resources; (f) intensify poplar wood production
outside of areas for conservation and restoration and (g) enhance
public and institutional awareness and commitment.

Final Report to the
PCU: Environmental
and Social Impact
Assessments (including management
plans) - (Prof
Hammerton 2002)
This report represents an independent review of the WRPRP
environmental assessment (EA) undertaken by ACG. The report, with
some minor reservations, concurs with the main findings and
recommendations of the EA. However, it expresses concern on a
number of issues: (a) alternatives selected preclude maximum flood
area and are based on cost not habitat; (b) basis for levels of nutrient
removal; and (c) limited opportunities for fish and aquatic fauna entry to
the flood areas.

This one year programme reviews the poor tourism development within
Belene Municipality. Within the programme the potential opportunities,
needs, desires and motivation of the citizens and the business for
certain activities in the tourist field will be examined.

Cross-border project for air quality control in the conflict zones in the
lower Danube region. This project covers four cross-border twinned
towns: Nikopol –Turnu Magurele, Svishtov - Zimnicea, Rousse Giurgiu and Silistra – Calarasi. The large industrial plants are identified
as the main source of air pollution.

Environmental Impact
Assessment Report of
Investment Proposal for
the Construction of
Belene NPS
The objective is to underline the advantages of the tourism in Svishtov
and at the same time to motivate the development of alternative
tourism. This includes combining the cultural and historical sites along
common themes as well as combining different cultural-tourist sites in
one region.
Approved on 22nd November, 2004 by Decision No. 18-8/2004 of the
Minister of Environment and Waters because of the following reasons:
1. The EIA provides the current status of environmental components
and factors and an assessment of the potential impacts arising from the
construction and operation of the Belene NPS according to different
technological solutions. The conclusion of expert opinion is that under
normal operation, significant environmental and local population impact
is not expected nor is there likelihood of any major transboundary
impact.
2. The site for the Belene NPS is suitable and has the necessary
environmental potential to accommodate a NPS of capacity 2,000 MW.
3. The selected project area has well developed infrastructure and no
additional areas are required to provide any further infrastructure.
4. The ecological assessment was provided for public assess. Six
meetings were carried out for public consultaion including in Romania.
As a result, protocols are provided from all public consultations as well
as written statements from the stakeholders and statements from the
investor NEC (National Electricity Company).
Potential impacts on the environment during construction and use of
the nuclear power station Belene and mitigation measures are provided
in Table 6.1-1 of the Enironmental Impact Assessment

relating to Belene Batim
Annex 5
If the project will be implemented as proposed, it will represent a
potential danger to the critical ecosystems in the Nature Park. Changes
in the water regime resulting in reduced water levels and a danger to
the riverine water habitats not only in the Nature Park but all along the
Danube.

ANNEX 8
Forest Habitat Types
According to the “Classification scheme for growth location types in Bulgaria”, 1983,
eleven types of forests have been defined and mapped within Persina NP. They
determine the comparatively high diversity of types in the two sub-belts.
Sub-belt of floodplain and riverine forests (0-600 m)
¾ Floodplain, very wet, alluvial and marsh soils (typical willow) - СD-4 (1)
This habitat has a comparatively limited extent covering only 120.3 ha or 2.9% of the
wood-production area. It is distributed on the Danube islands and covers the lowest
parts that are situated between the dyke and the banks up to +1 m above the
medium river level. The flooding is continuous (for 4 to 6 months) and during the
vegetation period flooding is from 70 to 100 days and is typified by standing water in
the closed and open slightly sloping micro-depressions of the area. The habitat has
been formed in the zatons (internal island channels) of the islands with meadowmarsh soils. The richness of these soils is difficult to exploit due to their prolonged
flooding and heavy composition, as well as the shallow ground water. This is the
reason why native willow forests with productivity class III dominate and almost all of
the under-storey (80%) is colonised by Amorpha.
¾ Floodplains, wet on meadow-marsh soil (willow-poplar) - С-3 (2)
This is the most widespread habitat within the Nature Park covering 1,191.5 ha or
28.4% of the wood-productive area. The continuous flooding in the dyke-bank zone
for 2 to 4 months is due to its position within the medium level of the Danube which is
within the +1 to +2 m line. The main vegetation is pure plantations of White Willow
Salix alba in bad condition and productivity class II-III and cultures of Euro-American
Poplar. Also typical for this habitat is significant coverage (up to 80%) by Amorpha.
¾ Floodplain, fresh to wet, on alluvial soil (proper willow) - D-2,3 (3)
This is also quite widespread covering 1,020.9 ha or 24.4% of the wood-productive
area of the Nature Park. It occurs along the Danube bank and the islands. It covers
the areas between the +2 and +3 m line compared to the medium river level in the
dyke-bank zone. The flooding on average is continuous for 1 to 2 months and
typically the water bodies do not stagnate for long but are in constant flow from the
higher to the lower parts of the area. The natural vegetation here is represented
mainly by White Willow Salix alba, White, Grey and Black Poplar Populus nigra and
pure plantations of White Willow and Black Poplar constitute 16.2% of the habitat
area.
¾ Floodplain, fresh on alluvial soil (drained willow) - С-2 (4)
The forest type covers only 28.7 ha or 0.7% of the wood-productive area. It occurs in
areas of the dyke-bank zone that are situated above +3 m line compared to the
medium Danube level. The flooding is of short duration being about 1 month annually
and the water flow is continuous and rapid. The natural vegetation is represented by
White Willow, White Mulberry Morus alba and White Poplar Populus alba.
¾ Drained, fresh meadow-marsh soil (drained former marshlands) - D-2 (5)
Annex 8
1
The habitat is one of the most widespread covering 836.3 ha or 20.0% of the woodproductive area in the Nature Park. Due to the lack of other appropriate habitats, the
areas surrounded by the dyke on Belene Island were added independently based on
the depth of the ground water. The natural vegetation is represented by cultures of
White Willow (72.9% of the afforested area of the habitat) and White Poplar.
¾ Valley fresh on alluvial-meadow soil (proper willow) - D-2 (7)
This habitat has the least extent covering only 3.7 ha or 0.1% of the wood-productive
area of the Nature Park. It occurs on the bank of the River Osam in sections 46 (a)
and (b).
¾ Valley fresh on alluvial soil (drained willow) - С-2 (8)
The forest type is not widely occurring and covers 27.4 ha or 0.7% of the woodproductive area. It occurs along the bank of the River Osam in section 46 в⎟к, 1. The
vegetation here is represented by Walnut Regia spp. culture of productivity class I
and willow culture.
M-I-2 Sub-belt of the plain-hilly oak forests (0 – 400 м)
¾ Fresh, on slopes of leached Chernozem soil – СD-2 (14)
The area of this plain habitat is 217.1 ha or 6.4% of the wood-productive area. It
occurs in raked plateau or plain areas up to 10 degree slope with sheltered aspects.
Despite the good productive potential of the habitat, the diversity of species is very
poor. Including plantations and cultures, there are only eight tree species and most of
these have a relatively small area. The vegetation is characterised by the pure
Acacia plantations and cultures which cover 85.8% of the habitat. In the remaining
forests, Black Pine Pinus nigra cultures at 4.9% of the area have the largest
representation. Plantations of Silver-leaved Lime Tilia petiolaris and cultures of
Walnut Juglans spp. and Spruce Picea spp. can also be found. The condition of the
plantations varies significantly as does their productivity. The average productivity
class for Acacia Robinia pseudoacacia is III which is less than the potential of the
habitat. The reason for this is tip-drying of the trees which is quite evident here.
¾ Plain and on slopes, dry, on leached chernozem soil - D-1 (13)
This covers a small area of 160.3 ha or 3.8% of the wood-productive area. As for the
previous habitat, it occurs in plain areas with up to 10 degree slope, but with sunny
aspect. The vegetation is typified by Acacia plantations and cultures that cover
98.2% of the forested area of the habitat. The rest of the habitat is covered by spruce
cultures (0.8 ha) and mixed plane-leaved cultures (1.8 ha). Because of the high
percentage of tip-drying damage, productivity is less than the full potential.
¾ Fresh, on slopes of Leached Chernozem soil – CD-2 (14)
This is the most widespread type within the sub-belt covering 356.4 ha or 8.5% of the
wood- productive area. It occurs on a wide variety of land forms, more often on
slopes of between 11 and 20 degrees with shaded aspect. There is a large variety of
tree species and plantations, more so than for other forest types due to the relatively
large area and variety of land forms. The total number of the tree species is 13. The
native vegetation is represented by Flowering Ash Fraxinus ornus, Elm Ulmus spp.,
Annex 8

Oak Quercus spp. and the productivity class ranges from III to V. However, the main
tree species is Acacia, which defines the character of the vegetation. Pure Acacia
plantations and cultures represent 49.6% of the forest area. In addition, 1% of the
area is covered by mixed broadleaved plantations dominated by Acacia. Pure Lime
forests account for 8 %. This is the same % as for mixed plantations dominated by
Lime. There are also pure cultures of Black Pine Pinus nigra with some Black Walnut
Juglans nigra accounting for about 2.1%. The pure and mixed plantation dominated
by Flowering Ash Fraxinus ornus, Elm Ulmus spp., Red Oak Quercus rubra and
Downy Oak Quercus pubescens together represent an area of 15.8%. The pure and
mixed plantations dominated by lime are in the best condition and have the highest
productivity. The condition of the Black Walnut and Black Pine is relatively good.
¾ Dry, on slopes of leached Chernozem soil – С-1 (15)
This growth location is not widespread covering only 170.9 ha or 4.1% of the wood
productive area. It is located on sunny inclines or steep slopes with inclination greater
than 11 degrees. The diversity of tree species is relatively low with only eight species
due to the dryness of the habitat. The diversity of the types of plantations is not great.
As for many other forest types, Acacia dominates. The pure and mainly Acacia
plantations cover nearly two-thirds of the forest area. Nearly 31.4% of the plantations
area is dominated by Flowering Ash and Elm. The Black Pine cultures are about
6.5% and the mixed cultures dominated by Tree of Heaven Ailanthus altissima are
about 2.9%. The condition of the plantations varies from bad to medium. Not all
exhibit good growth apart from Black Pine and Acacia cultures which have good
productivity. The Acacia is widely affected by tip-drying.

ANNEX 24
Information System Concept for Persina NP
The concept is based on recent research conducted by experts who participated in
the preparation of the Management Plan.
The concept defines the framework for obligatory requirements for future projects,
research and decisions on a complete information system for Persina NP and
attempts to resolve the following problems:
¾ Defines the purpose of every single element related to biodiversity preservation
and the regional development in terms of the current trends and the outlook for
tourism development on a national and international level;
¾ Recommends and defines the means of providing information about specific
features of the NP in ecological, cultural, historical and socio-economic aspects;
and
¾ Provides directions for future programmes and projects related to provision of
information for the tourists in the Park.
Under this concept, the management and financial institutions in nature protection
and regional development and the environmental NGO’s are required to direct their
efforts towards establishing a unitary and advanced information system, which will
popularise the potential of Persina NP for development and sustainable tourism in
the region.
The prime task of the Concept is to complement the development and facilitate the
management of the Park. Its objective is to provide information to visitors, including:
¾ Improve visitor mobility by provision of safe access to the Park;
¾ Select appropriate recreational activities;
¾ Stimulate visitor interest in the protection of the landscape and the variety of
flora and fauna;
¾ Guarantee educational impacts through a system for information, visitor centres
and new small access points to the Park; and
¾ Provide interesting and available information on the surrounding area. This will
also have an impact on the development of positive attitudes of the local
population toward the Park.
SPECIALISED SIGNAGE FOR PERSINA NP
The purpose of the various elements of the information system is to give precise
information to visitors. All elements must:
¾ Carry the Park logo;
¾ Include precise information on various sites; and
¾ Be designed in harmony with the local environment.
Information boards should be placed at:
Annex 24
1
¾ All entrances to the Park (including surrounding settlements developing or
about to develop as tourist locations); and
¾ More important tourist sites.
Signage for circular trails
Their purpose is to concentrate tourist flows in surrounding park areas thereby
enhancing local economic development.
Guidelines and requirements:
¾ Circular trails must start and end at the same point;
¾ Duration must be between 2 and 4 hours;
¾ Trails must comprise interesting tourist sites;
¾ Trails must be well signed and described on maps, leaflets, etc.; and
¾ Signage must feature one and the same style all around the Park, to be easily
recognisable and remembered and enhance the use of the trails.
Location:
Circular trails must be identified and signed around the existing municipalities centres
such as Nikopol, Belene and Svishtov.
General information boards (of advertisement and indicative character)
Guidelines and requirements:
¾ Boards should include general tourist interpretation about the Park and its
significance, as well as basic data for visitors who are not using guiding
services or who do not have their own published information;
¾ Boards should feature:
General scheme of site;
Information scheme of the corresponding park region; and
Indication of where the visitor is at the moment.
¾ Illustrative information should dominate while texts should be short and
translated into one or more languages.
Location:
¾ At the starting points for the Park;
¾ At the roads leading into Park;
¾ At key places within the Park; and
¾ At key places in surrounding settlements.
Information boards on species (flora and fauna) and Information boards on
behaviour
Their purpose is to present information about the biological diversity and species of
conservational status in a certain area.
Annex 24
2
Guidelines and requirements:
Flora and fauna specialists should be consulted on the contents of the boards;
Boards should indicate the behaviour requirements related to flora protection;
Boards should show zones where fauna should not be disturbed;
Boards should set the rules for fire safety; and
Boards should inform visitors about certain dangers or sanctions for violations.
Location:
¾ At special places close to places for recreation;
¾ At special places along the borders of Park and reserves;
¾ Along regulated trails through reserves and areas under restricted regimes or
out of bounds; and
¾ At viewpoints and others.
Indicative direction boards
These contain short information on the direction to sites nearby.
Location:
At rest points, water sources, shelters and places where fires are allowed, etc.
LOCATION SELECTION AND PLACEMENT OF BOARDS
Common recommendations for all types of signage:
¾ Be placed at key spots in settlements, starting points, in accommodation, etc.;
¾ Be easily detectable and visible from both sides of the road;
¾ Be placed parallel to the direction of movement (for trails) or perpendicular
where appropriate;
¾ Be placed immediately after crossroads, followed shortly by a second and third
board, so that there is no doubt about the right direction;
¾ Be placed at distances securing good orientation along the way, depending on
terrain;
¾ Be placed at shorter distances in forests; and
¾ When several boards have to be placed at one and the same spot, they must
be ranked by significance and not compete with each other.
Maintenance of signage
Information signage within the Park is a priority obligation and property of the Nature
Park Administration. Its maintenance is a common responsibility for all Park users.
Guidelines and requirements:
¾ For the selection of signage materials, the requirement for durability and
weather resistance, as well as the aesthetic compliance to landscape is most
Important and
Annex 24
3
¾ At least twice a year (spring and autumn), Nature Park Administration tourist
associations and accommodation managers must check the condition of
signage and repair or restore damaged or missing signs.
INFORMATION AND VISITOR CENTRES, INFORMATION POINTS
The establishment of information centres is an important element of the overall
information system for Persina NP. These will play a growing role for the elaboration
of strategies for tourism development in and around the Park.
Guidelines and requirements:
¾ Provide the information that tourists need most about the area;
¾ Serve as a place for contacts with tour operators;
¾ The location of the information or visitor centre must be clearly signposted from
key points in the settlement;
¾ Information must be provided about where tourists can find trained guides; and
¾ The centre can offer bookings and sell leaflets or other advertisement materials,
as well as local souvenirs.
Location:
The selection of location must be related to facilitate orientation of visitors. Existing
offices of various institutions may be used, where current staff can provide
information and sell products and services.
¾ Currently a new information centre for the Park is under construction in Belene.
The centre should offer information and interpretation on the natural, cultural
and historical heritage of the Park and its surrounding areas. It should provide
training opportunities, sale of souvenirs with Park logo, etc;
¾ Information centres/points, housed in special buildings or premises, should be
opened at the main starting points for the Park: Svishtov, Nikopol, Dragash
Voivoda. They must be well signed and must offer information about the whole
area; and
¾ Local shops, community or town halls may be used within settlements,
stalls/huts or cabins – outside them. These should have information boards,
maps and complete sets of the Park information materials.
PRINTED INFORMATION
Visitors need printed information. This includes:
1. Map of the Park – the most important element of all information and
advertisement materials. It must include the existing tourist trails, information
centres and points. It is important to mark the places where human presence
does not pose danger to the environment.
2. Maps of circular walks - around every single settlement, including
description of trails and what tourists can see along them. The full set of maps
must be present at every information centre and information point.
Annex 24
4
3. Information leaflets - on biodiversity, cultural and historical heritage of the
area; and
4. Environmental education materials – it is advisable to avail of the
considerable experience of environmental NGOs.
NEXT STEPS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM
The following steps should be undertaken for the development of the information
system for Persina NP:
¾ Rank all elements by priority;
¾ Select locations;
¾ Coordinate design and contents with the NPD and appropriate specialists with
good knowledge on the Park specific features;
¾ Coordinate the project with other institutions with an interest in information
signage within the Park – tourist associations, various owners and users;
¾ Prepare the project;
¾ Implement signage in the field; and
¾ Organise a press conference to inform owners and users about their
responsibilities and obligations in regard to information signage preparation and
maintenance.
INSTITUTIONAL PROVISION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT
Municipalities in partnership with local NGOs and government organisations should
play a key role in the planning and development of the unified information system for
Persina NP, as they are trusted by local people, present a valuable source of
information and can bring together the requirements of the individual stakeholders.
Working in partnership with local government and non-government organizations will
provide more experience, knowledge and ideas.
The Tourism Law, first adopted in 1998, mentioned for the first time the
establishment of regional and local tourism organisations; it defined their potential
role and the policy to motivate local communities to manage and develop tourist
activities and initiatives by themselves.
When developing the unified information system for Persina NP area, the general
strategy for tourism promotion in the protected area should be taken into account. At
the local level, it should define:
¾ Which tourist opportunities of the area must be promoted;
¾ What is the potential for sustainable tourism development in the area; and
¾ How and where to promote the region.
In this way, local people could actually influence tourism development instead of just
complying with what is being decided from outside.
Provision for future developments and renovation
Annex 24
5
As the maintenance of the developed information system will be a dynamic process
with constant renovation and improvement, it should be taken into account from the
very beginning, at the stage of preparation of the various components: trails,
information and visitor centres, information points and boards, etc. In this regard,
information could be collected at the local level about the effectiveness of the overall
system, which can be summarised at the regional level and taken into consideration
when improving and expanding the information system in the future. All subsequent
phases of change, expansion and complementary activities should of course be
carried out in line with the accepted rules for unification.
The collection of such information is a priority for local and regional organisations or
municipalities. The aim is to create an accessible database on:
¾ The cost effectiveness of the developed information system;
¾ Advantages and shortcomings of the information system; and
¾ Tourist demands and expectations.
This information could be collected through the maintenance of visitor records: where
visitors come from, how long they stay in the region, what problems and difficulties
were encountered by them in their orientation and the use of information boards and
signage, as well as with the information received in the individual information points
and centres.
The creation and maintenance of such a database can serve both visitors and the
experts involved in the future expansion and further development of the information
system.
PROMOTION OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM
The promotion of the future information system and work with the media in particular,
is of huge importance for the general promotion strategy for the Park. Many potential
visitors receive their first impressions on a given area through the media.
Publications can have an enormous impact on the attitudes of visitors and their future
behaviour, to attract them to the type of tourism suitable for the area.
