The space of the Gevgelian ravine that comprise the space of the Bogdanci field is located in the south and the south east part of Republic of Macedonia. A part of the ravine is in Greece. The region is in the down flow of the river Vardar. At the first side this space location gives you an impression of reticence because of its kampong with the local hills. There is Kozhuf, the mountain on west, some hills on north, the mountains Belasica and Kara Balija on east and on south it’s open to Greece. This location has a vantage point as for the disposition of the space and the traffic connection. The vintage point of Bogdanci in the Gevgelian valley is good. It’s on some 80–90 meters attitude above the sea level. There is the expressway E-75 on some 9 km (5.6 mi) on the west side, it’s 10 km (6.2 mi) far away from the center of Gevgelija, 7 km (4.3 mi) from the Macedonian – Greek border and 5 km (3.1 mi) from the river Vardar. The Dojran Lake and Dojran are on some 20 km (12 mi) on east of Bogdanci. There are some roads passing through the Geveglian – Bogdanci’s field, connecting Bogdanci with Gevgelija, Stojakovo, Gjavoto and the expressway E-75. The road that connects Bogdanci with Dojran, Strumica and Valandovo passes through the valley of the river Paljurska. This road connects Gevgelija and Dojran. In the past the road that connect Gevgelija with Macedonia, Greece, was very frequent. Bogdanci’s good geographical position in the ravine, the traffic importance and the economic function in the region are the reasons that Bogdanci was and still is a dynamic hearth for the gravitation of the settlements from the Dojran’s and Gevgelian ravines. In the past the traffic was not developed enough and that’s why the relief was the main factor for the intensity of the gravitation occupy in some ways. Most villages of the region that were well connected with Bogdanci gravitated in every sphere with it. Stojakovo, Gjavoto, Bogorodica, Furka, Crnichani were the villages that gravitated well with Bogdanci, and from the other side Bogdanci gravitated well with Thessaloniki the center of Macedonia in that time. Today with the development of the ravine’s center Gevgelija the gravitation occupy of Bogdanci is shrank.
