      abstract = {This paper aims to make an evaluation of CAP contribution  to landscape management in Bulgarian economy of rural  areas. To sum up, landscape is a non-commodity output  produced as direct or indirect outcome of the activities  operating in a particular area and it is valued by society  for its functions (use and non use values, ecological,  recreational, cultural etc). Due to this complex nature, it  produces second-order effects that are captured by the  stakeholders in rural areas (farmers or others), and that  generate potential markets for new activities. Therefore,  through the generation of these effects, landscape  contributes to boosting the economy of rural areas and is  an important driver for the whole regional economy. The  research reported in this paper was funded by the European  Commission within the project “ Supporting the role of the  Common agricultural policy in Landscape valorisation:  Improving the knowledge base of the contribution of  landscape Management to the rural economy” (CLAIM), 7th  Framework Programme, contract n. 222738  (www.claimproject.eu).
The Rural Development Programmes of  the current period (2007-2013) support measures that can  have an added value for this new perspective of the policy.  Some of them such as the agrienvironmental payments and the  measures designed for less favoured areas can have direct  and indirect effects in the provision of landscape.  Additionally they have effects in delivering landscape as  environmental public good, playing also an important role  in terms of financial allocation in the current Rural  Development Programme. The analysis of existing specific  measures targeted at local level connected to the landscape  allow to distinguish supporting potential landscape-related  activities and it’s role at the economy of rural areas.},
