  • The Truth About Greece
    THE TRUTH ABOUT GREECE 632 A1 W9 no.1668 PUBLISHED BY THE GREEK UNITY COMMITTEE MAIN GREEK RESISTANCE Perhaps less is known about Greek resistance against the Axis powers than about any other liberation movement in Occupied Europe. This is not because the Greek people have been the least active. On the contrary, few resistance movements have been so efficiently organised and have achieved such notable successes. Nor is the poverty of our information due to lack of communications with the Allies. It is well known that ceaseless watch cannot be kept over the long, indented coastline of Greece and over the islands of the Archipelago, so as to prevent close touch between Greece and the Allies. In Free Greece there are aerodromes where Allied planes can come and go, and now there is an Anglo-American Military Mission in Greece equipped with radio-transmitters, which must keep almost daily contact across the Aegean and the Adriatic. The German and Quisling press and radio make frequent reference to resistance in Greece and concentrate their attacks chiefly on National Front of Liberation (E.A.M.) and the Greek People’s Army of Liberation (E.L.A.S.) Their reports alone give an idea of the scale of the movement and make it clear that fighting has never ceased in Greece. Although the Allied Press has given much publicity to the German reprisals, the burning of towns, the sacking of whole districts and the shooting of hostages, it has told little about the actions which provoked such retaliation. Since there is no doubt that the true facts are available, it is obvious that there are influences at work among the Allies to control their circulation, or at least that the Royal Greek Government in Cairo is doing its best to suppress information about the successes that the Greek people are having against their oppressors.

In this paper, the expressions of creativity, sensory landscape, place marketing and place branding in the Regional Unit of Magnesia in Greece are all analysed, in order to identify the unique sensory landscapes that derive from the interaction between the landscape and the creative characteristics/activities that exist/occur in the region. The research was conducted in the settlements of the old village of Alonissos Island, Agios Lavrentios and Anavra, and the urban centre of Volos. The aim of this paper is to investigate how creative activities can contribute to the sensory perception of a landscape and how the interaction, between sensory landscapes and creative activities can be used advantageously in the promotion of a place’s identity. The research focuses on three senses: vision, hearing and smell. The methodology used during the field research differs between the settlements and the urban centre of Volos, incorporates the relevant literature and combines observational analysis and semi-structured/narrative interviews from the selected landscapes, as well as questionnaires and sensory walks in Volos.

It provided insufficient jobs for the local population. The social services and infrastructure were problematic: The elderly had no assistance for their care; the youth were unemployed and left for distant jobs in larger cities. Traditional homes and architectural/ cultural monuments were unpreserved and falling apart. The village had no paved roads, no access to the national bus network, no public lighting, no waste water sanitation network, no clinic nor any local doctor, no local teacher (day-care and school required travel hours away), no sports infrastructure and expensive electric current and natural water sources near the village were under exploited The state made no efforts to save this village in economic decline, after 1990 sustainable growth, prosperity and quality of life was achieved when the new elected mayor Mr. Dimitris Tsoukalas a former executive from the Greek Electric Power Company knowledgeable in renewable energy sources returned to his village from Athens and secured European funds. Inhabitants supported the plan to have the entire energy produced locally from wind- energy parks which enabled it to self-finance all previously mentioned infrastructure and social expenses and create an environmental-cultural park and a permanent animal sanctuary.

  • Mapping Crop Evapotranspiration and Total Crop Water Requirements Estimation in Central Greece
    European Water 13/14: 3-13, 2006. © 2006 E.W. Publications Mapping Crop Evapotranspiration and Total Crop Water Requirements Estimation in Central Greece M. Sakellariou-Makrantonaki, I. N. Vagenas University of Thessaly - Department of Agriculture, Crop Production and Rural Environment Fitokou Street, 38446 Nea Ionia, Volos email [email protected] Abstract: The aim of this study is to map the reference crop evapotranspiration and rainfall and with the aid of these maps to estimate the total irrigation crop water requirements in central Greece (Prefectures of Larissa and Magnesia) irrigated both by private and public boreholes and by surface waters during the irrigation period of the year 2001 by using FAO Penman-Monteith method. The mean daily reference crop evapotranspiration for each month and each of the 54 Μunicipalities of the two Prefectures was estimated, by using meteorological data for a period of 22 years (1980- 2001). Crop evapotranspiration and net water requirements were computed for each crop in the Municipalities of the Prefectures for the whole irrigation period. Finally, the total irrigation water requirements of crops during the irrigation period of the year 2001 for the 147,299 hectares of irrigated land of the region were estimated 698,000,000m3 with average 4,739m3/hectare. Key words: mapping, central Greece, evapotranspiration, Penman-Monteith , crop water requirements 1. INTRODUCTION The water, as natural resource, constitutes a condition of life and essential infrastructure for development and culture for each country. Particularly in a country like Greece whose economy relies at a big percentage on Agriculture, the importance of water in its development is even bigger.
