And this is because: • Natural gas allows greater energy efficiency compared to other fuels on all production segments, primarily for power generation using combined cycle technology, • Natural gas is more environmentally friendly since, per unit of energy produced, it is less damaging to the environment by 38% compared to coal, by 28% compared to crude oil and by 24% compared to diesel oil. Those percentages are in reality increased taking into account the greater efficiency rate of gas against the above fuels under comparison, • Natural gas provides greater flexibility as a fuel and is easy to use and handle in all domestic, commercial or industrial applications.

  • Areas “Affected” by Malaria in Greece 2019 Season, May 2019
    1 Areas “affected” by malaria in Greece 2019 season, May 2019 The “Working Group (WG) for the designation of areas affected by vector-borne diseases” of the National Committee for the Prevention and Control of Tropical Diseases of the Ministry of Health has convened and decided upon which areas should be designated as “affected”, following the recording of an introduced P.vivax malaria case (1st generation of transmission) in 2019. The WG of experts has carefully examined the following data: the total epidemiological data concerning malaria in Greece since 2009, the number and characteristics of all cases reported to the National Public Health Organization (N.P.H.O.) up to 24th May 2019, the characteristics of the population to which they correspond, and the geomorphological characteristics of the corresponding areas, the available entomological data for the years 2011-2019, especially for the area with the introduced case, and the literature concerning the flight range of mosquito vectors, especially Anopheles sacharovi, which is considered to be the main malaria vector in our country. According to the suggestion of European experts, an “affected area” is defined as falling within a radius of 2-6 km around the probable place of exposure of the locally acquired cases. In Greece, an affected area is usually defined by a radius of 6 km around the probable place of exposure. However, if this defined circle includes sections of large urban centres or cities (that cannot be easily divided) or if a smaller radius is deemed adequate (e.g. based on entomological data, history of cases in an area, geomorphology, etc.), the WG - following risk assessment – decides upon the exact designation of the affected area.

  • Industrial Risk in Thessaloniki and Urban Regeneration Context
    OPEN ACCESS http://www.sciforum.net/conference/wsf3 Article Industrial Risk in Thessaloniki and Urban Regeneration Context Christine Matikas * Architect Engineer, University of Thessaly, Urban Planner, DSA ENSA Paris La Villette E-Mail: [email protected] * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; Tel.: +306944664396, V.Kornarou 20, 54655, Thessaloniki, Greece Received: / Accepted: / Published: Abstract: The venture of Industrial Risk concerns life, natural – built environment and socio- economic activities. The aim of the research is to identify the threat, its awareness and to ensure the protection of residents. Activities that can lead to a Major Accident (MA), installation process of new units – establishments and responsibilities of investors and the state, are indicated in European Directives, called SEVESO. Employers have responsibility for safety within the industrial establishment; the state is responsible for the perimeter. So governments are responsible for the methods determining the Protection Zones (PZ), the expected impacts of a MA per zone and the Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP). In Greece these arrangements are not a result of institutionally entrenched methodological choices. For the first time, new SEVESO installations are related to Land Use Planning in the Directive SEVESO II of 1996, without referring to the existing proximity of corresponding activities to the urban fabric. Western Thessaloniki is the territory in danger. It is established the fact that the parameter of industrial risk is absent from the urban planning of the area. The urban paradox of residents’ coexistence to the risk (threat) is probably caused by the diachronic vicinity of urban tissue with industries, without any relative preoccupation, despite occasional incidents.

They usually go north, crossing the Mediterranean towards Italy, or the Aegean, going west to the Greek islands. In their quest for a safe refuge, a significant number drown or disappear. The rest reach in Europe carrying their traumatic experiences with them, and face immediate humanitarian needs. A major task for host cities is to provide shelter for the refugees, taking into consideration the influence of their psychological trauma on local societies. This complex task, which combines technical, economic, social, psychological, and political dimensions – simultaneously targeted on two social groups – constitutes the ‘post-traumatic urbanism’ which intervenes in the recreating of the refugees’ spatial and social networks in the host city. This paper discusses how the complex issue of post- traumatic housing triggers spatial self-organization by the refugees, in contrast to the ‘official’ provisions from host states, through the lens of complex adaptive theory (resilience). This article examines the features of refugee housing in Athens and Thessaloniki through qualitative research, quantitative methods and participatory observation.

  • Spatial Planning and Climate Adaptation: Challenges of Land Protection in a Peri-Urban Area of the Mediterranean City of Thessaloniki
    sustainability Article Spatial Planning and Climate Adaptation: Challenges of Land Protection in a Peri-Urban Area of the Mediterranean City of Thessaloniki Elisavet Thoidou School of Spatial Planning and Development, Faculty of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, GR-54124 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: The growing interest in climate change and related risks has triggered efforts to address both its causes and impact. Climate action is mainstreamed in various public policies in which spatial planning has a key role and operates as a coordinating framework as well as one that enables specific interventions. At the same time, land, an indispensable element of spatial planning, is gaining attention as a natural resource that is closely related to climate change. Increasing need for land protection raises the need for a renewed role of spatial planning of all types and levels. This paper examines issues of land protection related to climate change in a peri-urban area of the Thessaloniki metropolitan area in Greece and seeks to identify how the types of spatial planning contribute to land protection. It is argued that when viewing land protection from a climate adaptation perspective, a renewed relationship between the types and levels of spatial planning that demands emphasis be placed on their cooperation and the enabling of novel approaches such as nature-based solutions becomes apparent.
