In particular, a large block was detached from a high of 70 meters and started to roll downslope and gradually became a rock slide. About 120 tones of rock material moved downward to the road resulting to the close of the national road. Few days after the slope failure, a field survey organized by the Department of Geology, AUTH took place in order to evaluate the rock fall hazard in the area and to define the triggering causal factors. As an out- come, we concluded that the heavily broken rock mass and the heavy rain-falls, of the previous days, contribute significantly to the generation of the slope failure. The rocky slope was limited stable and the high joint water pressure caused the failure of the slope. Key words: rock fall, Tempi, engineering geology, hazard, Greece 1. Introduction A rock fall is a fragment of rock detached by sliding, toppling or falling that falls along a vertical or sub-vertical cliff, proceeds down slope by bouncing and flying along ballistic trajectories or by rolling on talus or debris slopes (Varnes, 1978).

The method we employed to detect non-local indi- viduals is strontium isotope analysis (87Sr/86Sr) of tooth enamel integrated with the contextual analysis of mortuary practices and osteological analysis of the skeletal assemblage. During the Protogeometric period, social and cultural transformations occurred while society was recovering from the disintegration of the Mycenaean civilization (twelfth century BC). The analysis of the cemeteries of Voulokaliva, Chloe, and Pharsala, located in southern Thessaly, showed that non-local individuals integrated in the commu- nities we focused on and contributed to the observed diversity in burial practices and to the develop- ments in the formation of a social organization.

  • The Religious Tourism As a Competitive Advantage of the Prefecture of Pieria, Greece
    Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Management, May-June 2021, Vol. 9, No. 3, 173-181 doi: 10.17265/2328-2169/2021.03.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Religious Tourism as a Competitive Advantage of the Prefecture of Pieria, Greece Christos Konstantinidis International Hellenic University, Serres, Greece Christos Mystridis International Hellenic University, Serres, Greece Eirini Tsagkalidou Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece Evanthia Rizopoulou International Hellenic University, Serres, Greece The scope of the present paper is the research of whether the prefecture of Pieria comprises an attractive destination for religious tourism and pilgrimage. For this reason, the use of questionnaires takes place which aims to realizing if and to what extend this form of tourism comprises a comparative and competitive advantage for the prefecture of Pieria. The research method of this paper is the qualitative research and more specifically the use of questionnaires with 13 questions in total. The scope was to research whether the prefecture of Pieria is a religious-pilgrimage destination. The sample is comprised of 102 participants, being Greek residents originating from other Greek counties, the European Union, and Third World Countries. The requirement was for the participant to have visited the prefecture of Pieria. The independency test (x2) was used for checking the interconnections between the different factors, while at the same time an allocation of frequencies was conducted based on the study and presentation of frequency as much as relevant frequency. Due to the fact that, no other similar former researches have been conducted regarding religious tourism in Pieria, this research will be able to give some useful conclusions.
