The Pre-Alpine Evolution of the Basement of the Pelagonian Zone and the Vardar Zone, Greece
The Pre-Alpine Evolution of the Basement of the Pelagonian Zone and the Vardar Zone, Greece Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades „Doktor der Naturwissenschaften“ am Fachbereich Chemie, Pharmazie und Geowissenschaften der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz Birte Anders Mainz, Juni 2005 Erklärung: Hiermit versichere ich, die vorliegende Arbeit selbstständig und nur unter Verwendung der angegebene Quellen und Hilfsmittel verfasst zu haben. Mainz, Juni 2005 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 27.07.2005 Summary iii Summary The Hellenides in Greece constitute an integral part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain chain. They are traditionally divided into several subparallel, c. NNW-SSE trending tectono-stratigraphic zones. These zones are grouped into two large units, namely the External Hellenides (Hellenide foreland) in the west and the Internal Hellenides (Hellenide hinterland) in the east. The External Hellenides comprise the Paxon, Ionian and Gavrovo-Tripolis Zones, which are dominated by Mesozoic and Cainozoic cover rocks. The Pelagonian Zone, the Attico-Cycladic Massif, the Vardar Zone, the Serbo-Macedonian Massif and the Rhodope Massif (from west to east) form the Internal Hellenides. They are characterised by abundant occurrences of crystalline basement. The Pelagonian Zone and the Vardar Zone in Greece represent the western part of the Internal Hellenides. While the Pelagonian Zone comprises predominantly crystalline basement and sedimentary cover rocks, the Vardar Zone has long been regarded as an ophiolite-decorated suture zone separating the Pelagonian Zone from the Serbo-Macedonian Massif to the east. In order to identify the major crust-forming episodes and to improve the understanding of the evolutionary history of this region, felsic basement rocks from both the Pelagonian Zone and the Vardar Zone were dated, with the main focus being on the Pelagonian Zone. -

We relocate the mainshock with regional data at depth of 14.2 km beneath the Vourinos massif. We compute the focal mechanism by body waveform modeling at teleseismic distance and find a normal fault striking N240” and dipping 40” toward the NW with a centro’id depth of 11 km. We installed a dense network of portable seismographs around the epicentral region and located several hundreds of aftershocks. The main cluster of aftershock seismicity defines a plane dipping north at an angle of about 35”, consistent with the main-shock mechanism, while some seismic activity is also seen on an antithetic fault. Our results suggest the active fault plane to be the Deskati fault which dips at a constant angle and therefore branches on the Paleohori fault where surface breaks were observed. -

Sustainable Heritage Tourism: Towards a Community-Led Approach
Sustainable heritage tourism: Towards a community-led approach Mina Dragouni UCL PhD 2 3 I, Mina Dragouni confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 4 Abstract This doctoral thesis explores community participation in heritage tourism planning as a sustainable solution to real-world cultural heritage problems, such as neglect and degradation at economically-deprived areas. In particular, the study examines how the strategic design of heritage tourism can accommodate the active involvement of destination hosts, such as local residents and business owners, and their meaningful collaboration with heritage managers and policymakers. The literature suggests that destination communities are heavily affected by tourism activity and their contribution to tourism planning is vital for achieving commitment to sustainability goals. Although the theoretical grounds of community involvement are well set, heritage tourism management has been slow in applying participatory approaches. Consequently, there is little empirical work on the practical implications of realising a more pluralist governance for heritage tourism and limited evidence to convince current ‘power-holders’ such as state officials to share their power with non-expert stakeholders. This project aspires to fill this void by exploring the process and particularities of instigating community participation at destination level in areas with no previous participatory experience. By adopting the case-study approach, it explores Kastoria, a peripheral emerging destination in Greece, conducting for the first time an ex-ante assessment of the challenges and complexities involved in pursuing community involvement on Arnstein’s (1969) rungs of ‘citizen power’. -
