Cultural microclimate in the residential area "Trakia", Plovdiv

Summary/Abstract: “Trakiya” is a plattenbau residential neighborhood, originally constructed between the late 1970s and early 1980s, in order to provide housing for predominantly young families moving into the city. At present, one sixth of the Plovdiv population lives in this area, with two of the twenty-five community centers in the city situated within it, while more than 100 cultural events are organized each year. The aim of this paper is to explore the cultural microclimate in the area, and provide an in depth look at the cultural practices of its inhabitants. The information gathered is part of a comprehensive interdisciplinary study, with field studies, a quasi-representative sociological survey of 477 people, meetings with residents of the area and the regional administration. As a result, the main problems in the cultural microclimate in the Trakiya region are derived and conclusions are drawn about the potential for cultural development of the region, based on the produced statistical data and map materials.
