Athens, 11636, Greece 2South Aegean Region's Managing Authority, 22 Saki Karagiorga str., Ermoupolis, Syros, 841 00, Greece Keywords: Climate change, adaptation, region, island, South Aegean Presenting author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The overall purpose of the Regional Adaptation Plan to Climate Change (RAPCC) of the South Aegean Region (SAR) is to contribute to enhancing the region's resilience to climate change in all sectoral policies as outlined in the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. This means increasing preparedness and capacity to address the impacts of climate change at local and regional level, developing a coherent approach and improving coordination. The methodology used to assess the climatic vulnerability of the individual sectors and geographical areas of the SAR and ultimately the climate risk assessment comprised nine solid steps beginning from defining “reference" changes of climatic variables to assess the vulnerability of the different activities and ending with ranking sectors and activities as to the magnitude of the risk. The analysis of the climatic vulnerability and danger and hence risk of the different sectors and activities of the South Aegean Region was carried out for the short and medium term (2021-2050) and long-term horizons (2071-2100) and distinct for the geographical units of Cyclades and Dodecanese. According to these findings the proposed measures in the RAPCC were based on island specific characteristics such as financial-social activities, geomorphology and developed both in horizontal and sectoral actions and classified into High, Medium and Low priority.

Within the sprawling city of Athens it is easy to imagine the golden age of Greece when Pericles had the Parthenon (the most eminent monument of the ancient Greek architecture) built. Athens is built around the Acropolis and the pinnacled crag of Mt. Lycabettus, which the goddess Athena was said to have dropped from the heavens as a bulwark to defend the city. Te suburbs have covered the barren plain in all directions and the city is packed with lively taverns and bustling shops. Cyclades - Greece 5 Kea An exceptionally picturesque island. On the south side of Nikolaos Bay - which was a pirate stronghold in the 13th c. - is the little port of Korissia, built on the side of ancient Korissia. Tere are remains of the ancient town walls and a Sanctuary of Apollo. Te famous lion - carved from the native rock in the 6th c. BCE - can be seen just north-east of Kea town. Another highlight is the beautiful anchorage of Poleis.

  • Nikos Rodios by Mark Messenger
    THE CERAMIC CONTINUUM OF Nikos Rodios by Mark Messenger Nikos Rodios is a Greek artist who lives in the Greater Sporades on Skopelos Island. It is a stun- ning landscape with a profound heritage, but every milieu has its story and social cadence. What en- dures is not what is conspicuous but what provides sustenance. Rodios’ artwork, proceeding from that of his grandfather, father, and uncle, is the styliza- tion of such a vital continuum. It is a collection of forms that affirm precedent, aspiration, and an emphatic present. It is an essence Rodios condenses without comment. This is a meditation on his family’s legacy, because it is a shared dynamic. Have you ever looked through a gal- lery searching fruitlessly for cultural relevance? What Bernard Leach, the British formalist, referred to as a ‘taproot’? If so, then you know how ar- rogant this feels, but the insistence of truth remains. I look for an antithesis, even if it’s rash. If you know this reaction, then you understand the aesthetic anarchy of Paul Soldner, the American Abstract Expressionist. It is creatively permissive, mischievous, and prolific. Attempting to meld these ideologies poses a question, “What might authentic creativity look like in this context?” Here I think both Leach and Soldner would nod, but I suspect they would also point to a final catharsis. I recently underwent this sequence in Greece. I had spent several days at the museums in Athens and Iraklion and witnessed, first hand, some of the breadth of Aegean ceramics; its inventive design, elegant craftsmanship, and continuity.

  • The Earthquake of October 30Th, 2020 at Samos, Eastern Aegean Sea, Greece
    The earthquake of October 30th, 2020 at Samos, Eastern Aegean Sea, Greece Kalogeras, I., Melis, N.S. and Kalligeris, N. [Preliminary Report], National Observatory of Athens, Institute of Geodynamics Introduction At 13:51 local time (11:51 UTC) October 30, 2020 a strong earthquake of magnitude ML 6.7 (Mw 6.9) occurred off the northern coasts of Samos Island, Eastern Aegean, Greece and 20km NW from the city of Samos. The epicenter coordinates were calculated at the Institute of Geodynamics, National Observatory of Athens (NOAIG) to 37.9001oN, 26.8057oE and the focal depth to 12km (MT centroid depth 8km), respectively. The earthquake caused 2 deaths on the island of Samos and 19 injuries and over of 120 deaths and hundreds of injuries at the town of Izmir (Turkey) as well as a lot of damage on houses, buildings and infrastructures. It was felt at a wide area including Athens (270 km away) and the city of Heraklion, Crete (320 km). A tsunami was generated producing minor damage at the surrounding coasts and especially in the towns of Vathi - Samos (Greece) and Sigacik (Turkey). Figure 1. Map of the epicentral area. Red star denotes the epicenter (ref. http://bbnet.gein.noa.gr). Faults lines are shown from GEM fault database (https://blogs.openquake.org/hazard/global-active-fault-viewer/). Strong motion data NOAIG strong motion network (http://accelnet.gein.noa.gr) recorded the event. Strong motion data were used for both the automatic and manual/revised location procedure at NOAIG, as well as for the Moment Tensor inversion and the estimation of strong ground motion peak values.

  • Modern Greek Dialects
    <LINK "tru-n*">"tru-r22">"tru-r14"> <TARGET "tru" DOCINFO AUTHOR "Peter Trudgill"TITLE "Modern Greek dialects"SUBJECT "JGL, Volume 4"KEYWORDS "Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography"SIZE HEIGHT "220"WIDTH "150"VOFFSET "4"> Modern Greek dialects A preliminary classification* Peter Trudgill Fribourg University Although there are many works on individual Modern Greek dialects, there are very few overall descriptions, classifications, or cartographical represen- tations of Greek dialects available in the literature. This paper discusses some possible reasons for these lacunae, having to do with dialect methodology, and Greek history and geography. It then moves on to employ the work of Kontossopoulos and Newton in an attempt to arrive at a more detailed classification of Greek dialects than has hitherto been attempted, using a small number of phonological criteria, and to provide a map, based on this classification, of the overall geographical configuration of Greek dialects. Keywords: Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography 1. Introduction Tzitzilis (2000, 2001) divides the history of the study of Greek dialects into three chronological phases. First, there was work on individual dialects with a historical linguistic orientation focussing mainly on phonological features. (We can note that some of this early work, such as that by Psicharis and Hadzidakis, was from time to time coloured by linguistic-ideological preferences related to the diglossic situation.) The second period saw the development of structural dialectology focussing not only on phonology but also on the lexicon. Thirdly, he cites the move into generative dialectology signalled by Newton’s pioneering book (1972). As also pointed out by Sifianou (Forthcoming), however, Tzitzilis indicates that there has been very little research on social variation (Sella 1994 is essentially a discussion of registers and argots only), or on syntax, and no linguistic atlases at all except for the one produced for Crete by Kontossopoulos (1988).

  • Evolution of Turnover of Enterprises in Accommodation and Food Service Activities
    HELLENIC REPUBLIC HELLENIC STATISTICAL AUTHORITY Piraeus, 22 September 2020 PRESS RELEASE EVOLUTION OF TURNOVER OF ENTERPRISES IN ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD SERVICE ACTIVITIES JULY 2020 The Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) with this ad hoc sectoral publication, presents the map with the evolution of the turnover of enterprises classified in the Accommodation and Food and Beverage Service Activities divisions. These economic activities have been over time in the focus of interest due to the significant weight they bear on the Greek economy as a whole, but also due to their extensive dispersion, with a significant presence in all regional units and a significant contribution to the respective local economies of Greece, often associated with the tourist product of the country. At the same time, under the recent circumstances, the monitoring and dedicated publication of the evolution of these economic activities has become imperative, given the direct and indirect adverse impact they have been subjected to, due to the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The current publication is part of the ad hoc Press Releases series published by ELSTAT (PR link), since April 2020. Similar publications have been planned to be released on a monthly basis, throughout the whole period during which the regular monitoring of the evolution of the turnover of enterprises providing Accommodation, Food and Beverage Service Activities will remain relevant and warranted. In particular, the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) announces data on a monthly and quarterly basis and at the regional unit country-level of analysis, for the turnover of enterprises classified in the divisions Accommodation, Food and Beverage Service Activities (divisions 55 and 56 of the NACE Rev.2 classification) for the period 2019-2020.
