    Water Resources Management in Thessaly Region (Greece) and Their Impact on the Regional Development

    Journal of Environmental Protection and Ecology 10, No 1, 244–265 (2009) Environmental management WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN THESSALY REGION (GREECE) AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT S. SOFIOS, S. PolyzoS* Engineering School, Department of Planning and Regional Development, University of Thessaly, Pedion Areos, 383 34 Volos, Greece E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. Thessaly is a rural region and consequently, the economic development is affiliated with the primary sector of economy. The employment in this sector is related to the size of rural areas, while the agricultural products serve as raw materials to the secondary sector. Water resources constitute a basic factor that influences the quantity of rural production and consequently, the exploitation and their rational management play a decisive role to the economic development of region. The demand for irrigation water, which especially during the summer months is great, shows significant regional variations in water availability. The most important issue is that water resources are not sufficient, while a significant part of water volume leads, mainly during the winter months, unexploited to the sea. in order to overcome the water shortage, several hydraulic public works are implemented. The major hydraulic work is the diversion of the acheloos river to Thessaly. in this paper the economic situation of the Thessaly region, the demand and the supply of water resources as well as the prospec- tive being developed after the construction of the afore-mentioned hydraulic work are analysed. Keywords: water resources management, regional development, water policy, Thessaly. aimS and BaCkgRound The fertile plain of the Thessaly water region covers an area of 13 377 km2 that occupies the central section of mainland Greece.

  • University of Thessaly Self – Evaluation Report

    University of Thessaly Self – Evaluation Report

    UNIVERSITY OF THESSALY SELF – EVALUATION REPORT (SECOND DRAFT) VOLOS – MAY 2004 A note from the Rectorate of the University of Thessaly The Senate of the University of Thessaly decided to participate in the Institutional Evaluation Programme of the European University Association for the academic year 2003-2004. The long-term objectives of this voluntary Program are to strengthen the autonomy of the University and to support needed change. While quality of teaching and learning or research will not be evaluated for accountability purposes, we expect that this evaluation will contribute to the development and improvement of mechanisms in our University’s strategic and quality management. After the approval by EUA of the University’s application for participation in the program, the Senate assigned a self-evaluation steering group consisting of members of the academic staff of the University. Each of these members was responsible to coordinate the selection of information from a number of administrative and academic units. The self-evaluation steering group was assisted by task forces led by members of the staff of the University. Members of the steering group and the staff prepared this draft of the self-evaluation report, as well as the documentation and the analysis provided in the appendices. The self-evaluation is the first step in the evaluation process and through the self-evaluation report we hope that the evaluation team will get a good description and analysis of our University. The ultimate purpose of the self-evaluation is to give ownership to all members of the academic community of the improvements introduced.
  • Announcement

    Announcement

    ANNOUNCEMENT Euracademy Association in cooperation with the Development Agency of Karditsa invites you to take part in the 15th Summer Academy On “Social Economy and Sustainable Rural Development” to be held in Mouzaki, Karditsa, Greece, and the surrounding area, from 16th to 23rd July 2016. The theme: How social enterprises and co-operatives contribute to the rural economy and how these types of enterprise can be supported Background and aim Social enterprise is a dynamic and inspiring way of doing business. Social enterprises are innovative, independent businesses that exist to deliver a specific social and/or environmental mission; they form a diverse community and their approach, which seeks more-than-profit, is adopted by a huge range of organisations of every size, operating in every corner of Europe and in most sectors of the economy. Social enterprises trade in all markets, selling goods and services to individual consumers, local authorities, government and private businesses. Just like any private sector business, their aim is to make a profit. However, all profits or surpluses are always reinvested back into their social and environmental purposes. The main advantage of social enterprises is that they allow young or new to a business sector individuals, without substantial capital to spare, to enter the business world and create employment, offering at the same time a service to their communities. However, often, the inexperience and limited financial capacity of the partners, constitute an obstacle to their development. To thrive, social enterprises need support, especially when they start- up in a rural environment. Successful examples of such support, point to a “social enterprise ecosystem” which needs to be established in a rural area, to ensure the networking, mutual support and access to small capital necessary for starting a social enterprise.
