Summary/Abstract: A new approach to the development of the cultural sector, which includes both quantitative and qualitative assessment of existing resources, activities and policies, is established in the last decade in Bulgaria. The relationships and influences with other sectors such as industry, tourism, education, communication and informational technologies are accounted. This approach is known as mapping of the cultural sector or of its elements, such as cultural and creative industries. This study is the first attempt to map culture in Blagoevgrad municipality with a focus on outlining the main elements of the infrastructure of the cultural sector - institutions, festivals, cultural events. The characteristics of the material base, the intellectual potential and the financial provision o the cultural sector in the municipality of Blagoevgrad will be outlined in general terms. The expectation is that this research will be developed on the next stage in mapping of also the cultural and creative industries in the municipality and to become a good basis for developing future plans and strategies at local and regional level.
