Verification of Vulnerable Zones Identified Under the Nitrate Directive \ and Sensitive Areas Identified Under the Urban Waste W
CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) 1 1.2 THE NITRATES DIRECTIVE (91/676/EEC) 3 1.3 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY 4 2 THE OFFICIAL GREEK DESIGNATION PROCESS 9 2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT SITUATION IN GREECE 9 2.2 OFFICIAL DESIGNATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS 10 2.3 OFFICIAL DESIGNATION OF VULNERABLE ZONES 14 1 INTRODUCTION This report is a review of the areas designated as Sensitive Areas in conformity with the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC and Vulnerable Zones in conformity with the Nitrates Directive 91/676/EEC in Greece. The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge. -
Tourism Development in Greek Insular and Coastal Areas: Sociocultural Changes and Crucial Policy Issues
Tourism Development in Greek Insular and Coastal Areas: Sociocultural Changes and Crucial Policy Issues Paris Tsartas University of the Aegean, Michalon 8, 82100 Chios, Greece The paperanalyses two issuesthat have characterised tourism development inGreek insularand coastalareas in theperiod 1970–2000. The firstissue concerns the socioeco- nomic and culturalchanges that have taken place in theseareas and ledto rapid– and usuallyunplanned –tourismdevelopment. The secondissue consists of thepolicies for tourismand tourismdevelopment atlocal,regional and nationallevel. The analysis focuseson therole of thefamily, social mobility issues,the social role of specific groups, and consequencesfor the manners, customs and traditionsof thelocal popula- tion.It also examines the views and reactionsof localcommunities regarding tourism and tourists.There is consideration of thenew productive structuresin theseareas, including thedowngrading of agriculture,the dependence of many economicsectors on tourism,and thelarge increase in multi-activityand theblack economy. Another focusis on thecharacteristics of masstourism, and on therelated problems and criti- cismsof currenttourism policies. These issues contributed to amodel of tourism development thatintegrates the productive, environmental and culturalcharacteristics of eachregion. Finally, the procedures and problemsencountered in sustainabledevel- opment programmes aiming at protecting the environment are considered. Social and Cultural Changes Brought About by Tourism Development in the Period 1970–2000 The analysishere focuseson three mainareas where these changesare observed:sociocultural life, productionand communication. It should be noted thata large proportionof all empirical studies of changesbrought aboutby tourism development in Greece have been of coastal and insular areas. Social and cultural changes in the social structure The mostsignificant of these changesconcern the family andits role in the new ‘urbanised’social structure, social mobility and the choicesof important groups, such as young people and women. -

Contemporary Kinematics of the South Aegean Area (Greece) Detected with Continuous GNSS Measurements Vassilis Sakkas, Chrysa Doxa, Andreas Tzanis, and Haralambos Kranis National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Geology and the Geoenvironment, Athens, Greece ([email protected]) We examine the kinematic characteristics of the crustal deformation in the broader southern Aegean region using 47 permanent GNNS stations distributed across the eastern Peloponnesus, Attica, Cyclades, Dodecanese, Crete and the coast of western Anatolia. Our analysis is based on the study of velocity vectors relative to local reference points at the western and eastern halves of the study area, as well as on the strain field calculated from absolute velocity vectors across the study area. We demonstrate that the South Aegean region undergoes complex distributed block deformation. At the eastern end of the study area this varies from N210°-N220° extension and with crustal thinning across NE Peloponnesus – Attica, to N210°-N220° compression between the central- eastern Peloponnesus and western Crete, both consistent with the geodynamic setting of the Hellenic Subduction System. A principal feature of the S. Aegean crust appears to be a broad shear zone extending between the islands of Samos/Ikaria and Kalymnos, Paros/Naxos and Amorgos and Milos – Santorini; It exhibits left-lateral kinematics and its southern boundary appears to coincide with the Amorgos – Santorini ridge and comprise the Anhydros basin and associated volcanic field (including Columbo and Santorini). -

Network Biogeography of a Complex Island System: the Aegean
Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2016) ORIGINAL Network biogeography of a complex ARTICLE island system: the Aegean Archipelago revisited Konstantinos Kougioumoutzis1,2*, Anna Thalassini Valli1, Elisavet Georgopoulou3, Stylianos Michail Simaiakis4, Kostas A. Triantis2 and Panayiotis Trigas1 1Laboratory of Systematic Botany, Faculty of ABSTRACT Crop Science, Agricultural University of Aim The Aegean Archipelago has been the focal research area for identifying Athens, GR-118 55 Athens, Greece, 2 and testing several ecological and evolutionary patterns, yet its biogeographical Department of Ecology & Systematics, Faculty of Biology, National & Kapodistrian subdivision has been somewhat overlooked, with the processes driving the University of Athens, GR-157 03 Athens, assembly of the Aegean island plant communities still remaining largely Greece, 3Geological-Paleontological unclear. To bridge this gap, we identify the biogeographical modules (highly Department, Natural History Museum, 1010 linked subgroups of islands and plant taxa) within the Aegean Archipelago. 4 Vienna, Austria, Natural History Museum of Location The Aegean Archipelago, Greece. Crete, University of Crete, Heraklion GR- 71409 Crete, Greece Methods We used a network approach to detect island biogeographical roles and modules, based on a large and detailed database including 1498 Aegean endemic and subendemic plant taxa distributed on 59 Aegean Islands and five adjacent mainland areas. Results The Aegean was divided into six biogeographical modules; the net- work was significantly modular. None of the modules displayed all four possi- ble biogeographical roles (connectors, module hubs, network hubs, peripherals). Six new biogeographical regions in the Aegean were identified. Main conclusions The borders of the six biogeographical regions in the Aegean correspond well to the region’s palaeogeographical evolution from the middle Miocene to the end of the Pleistocene. -
Ground Deformation Modelling of the 2020 Mw6.9 Samos Earthquake (Greece) Based on Insar and GNSS Data
remote sensing Article Ground Deformation Modelling of the 2020 Mw6.9 Samos Earthquake (Greece) Based on InSAR and GNSS Data Vassilis Sakkas Department of Geophysics-Geothermics, National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panepistimiopolis Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2107274914 Abstract: Modelling of combined Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data was performed to characterize the source of the Mw6.9 earthquake that occurred to the north of Samos Island (Aegean Sea) on 30 October 2020. Pre-seismic analysis revealed an NNE–SSW extensional regime with normal faults along an E–W direction. Co- seismic analysis showed opening of the epicentral region with horizontal and vertical displacements of ~350 mm and ~90 mm, respectively. Line-of-sight (LOS) interferometric vectors were geodetically corrected using the GNSS data and decomposed into E–W and vertical displacement components. Compiled interferometric maps reveal that relatively large ground displacements had occurred in the western part of Samos but had attenuated towards the eastern and southern parts. Alternating motions occurred along and across the main geotectonic units of the island. The best-fit fault model has a two-segment listric fault plane (average slip 1.76 m) of normal type that lies adjacent to the northern coastline of Samos. This fault plane is 35 km long, extends to 15 km depth, and dips to the north at 60◦ and 40◦ angles for the upper and lower parts, respectively. A predominant dip-slip component and a substantial lateral one were modelled. Citation: Sakkas, V.

Picturing Charmian Clift and George Johnston's Hydra Expatriation
Australians in Aspic: Picturing Charmian Clift and George Johnston’s Hydra Expatriation TANYA DALZIELL University of Western Australia PAUL GENONI Curtin University When George Johnston was speaking to Stuart Sayers, the literary editor of The Age newspaper, on the eve of the release of Clean Straw for Nothing (1969), he was keen to highlight the novel’s specific representation of expatriation. Johnston stressed that his was not ‘that banal expatriation which Barry Humphries pictures in the Aussies of Kangaroo Valley in London’s Earl’s [sic] Court.’ Instead, his novel depicts nothing less than an existential expatriation, ‘a highly subtle and complex dissolution of the human soul,’ whose reach and implication was global. ‘Expatriation is a world problem,’ Johnston is reported to have said, ‘Europe, for example, is infested with hundreds of thousands of self-imposed exiles wandering around looking for different things in different ways.’ If expatriation is a ‘problem,’ if Europe is ‘infested’ with aimless wanderers, then it also implicitly upholds Johnston’s decision to repatriate from the Greek island of Hydra and to write ‘of the thing I know most about: that is, being an Australian.’ Clean Straw for Nothing has since assumed a place as a classic account of the Australian experience of literary expatriation, recounting as it does the relationship between David Meredith and Cressida Morley, the alter-egos of Johnston and his wife Charmian Clift, and fictionalising their movement over nearly two decades from Sydney, to London, to the Aegean island of Hydra, and back to Sydney. Theories of literary expatriation have evolved in the years since Clean Straw for Nothing was published, as Australian literature has been increasingly seen to function within the context of increasingly globalised spheres of production and consumption (Dixon). -
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. -
