So, I hope this Master this to fulfill the requirements of the topic as best as possible. I am grateful to my Supervisor Professor, Thijs Maarleveld who directed me and advised me during the writing of this Master Thesis. His help, his support and his invaluable insight throughout the entire process were valuable parameters for the completion of this paper.

  • A Village of Farmers, Shepherds and Fishermen in Kos Island
    KEPHALO: A VILLAGE OF FARMERS, SHEPHERDS AND FISHERMEN IN KOS ISLAND Eizo MATSUKI For five weeks from the mid-December of 1980 to the first decade of January of 1981, I stayed on Kos Island, mainly in a village named Kephalo. Kephalo is a typical v山age in the Aegean Islands area in terms of its occu- pational component including all the three following sorts of villagers that constitute an inherent part of islanders'rural life: farmers, shepherds and fishermen. Farming, stock-breeding and fishing are most traditional and most representative ways of life for the inhabitants of the Aegean Islands. In this paper, I intend to give a brief description of these villagers'contemporary ways of life, paying attention mainly to their economic aspect. But I am primarily concerned about the farmers and shepherds of this island. So, I keep my mind mainly on their land (farm and pasture), their products (crops and livestock), their working activities (farming and stock-breeding) and so on. The present paper consists of two parts. The first half comprises the general description of Kephalo's land and production and the recent changes of the village economy, and the second half is devoted to the detailed observation of the same elements on a level of the private lives illustrated by some average rillagers. / Cropland and Pasture Kos Island, which is located at the entrance of Keramicos Bay in Asia Minor and covers an area of 288 square kms, is the third largest island of the Dodekanese group, among which Rhodes is the largest and Karpathos is the second.

Forty-five gas samples have been collected from natural gas manifestations at the island of Kos—the majority of which are found underwater along the southern coast of the island. On land, two anomalous degassing areas have been recognized. These areas are mainly characterized by the lack of vegetation and after long dry periods by the presence of sulfate salt efflorescence. Carbon dioxide is the prevailing gas species (ranging from 88 to 99%), while minor amounts of N2 (up to 7.5%) and CH4 (up to 2.1%) are also fi present.

  • Introduction Acknowledgements
    10 11 Acknowledgements Introduction General geography of Greece Greece is a relatively small country, and with a surface area of 132,000 km2 it is only half as big as the UK. Encompassed, however, in this modest area, is a great diversity of habitats, exceeding many European countries of much larger size. For example, one can encounter in Epirus alpine areas complete with lush conifer forests, dramatic peaks and extensive snowfields that physiographically resemble Switzerland. On the other hand, some regions of the southern Aegean are closer to Africa than to Athens, and their climate and habitats reflect this proximity. Southeastern Crete for example, con- tains one of the few true European deserts, an area closely resembling certain hamma- da regions of the Middle East. Greece is a country of mountains and islands. The Pindos range, an extension of the Dinaric Alps, forms the backbone of peninsular Greece. A number of smaller mountains originate as spurs from this block, although some, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece (2,917 m elevation) arise in relative isola- tion. A second major mountain block, the Rhodopes, located in Thrace, runs in a roughly east-west direction separating Greece and Bulgaria. The Peloponnese, a small- er peninsula in the south, is as mountainous as the mainland and encompasses several peaks exceeding 2,000 m in elevation. With the exception of a few large flat regions located mostly in Thessaly and Thrace, the country lacks extensive plains. Typically the mountains drop rather steeply into the sea and are generally flanked only by narrow coastal plains.

An island is a piece of land surrounded by water. This atlas is focussed on small and very small islands that fall below the system of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) within the European Union not having a fixed link to the European mainland. ESIN represents 1,640 such islands with a resident population of 359,357people. These small islands have 3-4 million summer residents and ten times as many visitors, which creates a heavy human pressure on the islands’ social, technical and ecological systems.

Dodecanese’s enchanting beaches are one of the main attractions for millions of tourists every year. The Dodecanese island group is in the southeastern part of the Aegean Sea, the sunniest corner of Greece; it comprises twelve large islands and numerous smaller ones, each one with a different character. You will find fantastic beaches, archeological sites of great historical impor- tance, imposing Byzantine and Medieval monuments, traditional villag- es and architectural gems that date to the Italian Occupation.

The serpentine flora is often related with interesting biological phenomena and is therefore worthy of close inspection. Although serpentine outcrops do exist in Greece, detailed floristic work concentrated on them is still lacking. Aliki is a coastal serpentine area consisting mostly of low hills and a shallow lagoon that remained, up to now, floristically unexplored. It has a size of ca. 11 km2 and its flora is composed of 326 plant taxa (pteridophytes and spermatophytes), some of them with taxonomic or phytogeographic interest. Precise data of all the collection localities in Aliki is given in detail. The taxonomic status of Bufonia euboica, previously only known from Ev- via island, is reconsidered and the species is reduced to a variety: Bufonia stricta (SM.) GURKE subsp.

  • Challenges in the Utilization and Circularity of Renewable Energy: the Case of Small Islands in Greece
    University of Twente. Master’s in Environmental and Energy Management (MEEM) Master’s Thesis Challenges in the utilization and circularity of renewable energy: the case of small islands in Greece Andreas Koutepas S2030241 1st Supervisor: Dr. Maarten Arentsen 2nd Supervisor: Dr. Laura Franco August 2018 Abstract Shifting to renewable energy sources from fossil fuel for electricity generation and other uses is a challenging process. Specifically, in the Greek islands, where the potential for renewable energy is significant due to the favorable climate and morphology conditions, this ongoing transition is facing a number of challenges and opportunities. Three small islands in Greece are researched as case studies, from the point of view of renewable energy utilization and circularity integration potential. The current situation of the islands regarding renewable energy and circularity, the different approaches in the implementation of renewable energy sources and the different elements of these challenges and opportunities are discussed and highlighted. Finally, a list of 5 criteria is compiled, through which the potential of renewable energy utilization and circularity integration in small islands in Greece can be assessed for an effective implementation.
