Summary/Abstract: Тhis article is dedicated to inter-situational connectivity as an essential problem of public governance at the local and national level in Bulgaria. The article analyzes the spatial features of the overlap between the concepts of connectivity and region. However, this shows us that the presence of an administrative-territorial unit and the determination of the parameters of public governance cannot help but reveal the features of regional development. To make it more straightforward, Bulgarian scientific thought does not perceive the change in the conjuncture with the use of a new methodology and the formation of regional development policies. Moreover, the entire palette of knowledge and skills that brings about new moments in regional life is essential for new and young specialists in regional development. Two examples, the municipalities of Pavlikeni and Tsarevo, are examined, and the corresponding characteristics and task levels are presented, which show the internal and external picture of spatial development. Some assumptions are made regarding connectivity and the region as concepts, which show how to use the new methodology of regional research more rationally and clarify several ongoing processes. The author proposes indicators for assessing the level of connectivity in regional development. Regional values present in small urban centers, and the technical and environmental protection infrastructure, affect the state and load on the natural environment, which is a task of increased difficulty for Bulgarian municipalities. They do not make infrastructure an absolute municipal priority.
