Abstract

This study is part of an ethnobotanical investigation of the medicinal plants in the Northern Black Sea coast region, which includes the area from the village of Durankulak to the town of Obzor. The boundaries were determined using the map of the floristic regions in Bulgaria. Field work was conducted in the period from June and July 2017. Surveyed were 92 people from 3 communities. The study was carried out on the basis of the survey methodology. Interviews with the local population were conducted using original questionnaires prepared upfront. The respondents belong to different gender, ethnicity, age and education groups. The data from the different applications of medicinal plants in the life of the local population were processed and summarized.
