by the European URBACT III Program that aims at the valorization of the former military heritage as a key element for sustainable urban development, providing solutions in a number of developmental, urban and social issues. The purpose of the program is to transfer know-how and to share experiences on the rehabilitation and viable management of abandoned military areas in the urban area. One of the main principles of the program is the activation of the local community and its participation in decision-making. To this end, each partner of the network set up an Urbact Local Group (ULG) where it gathers local actors involved in the reintegration and sustainable management of abandoned camps. Through the cooperation of the ULG members and the exchange of experience at an international level - with the other partners of the network - an integrated Action Plan (IAP) was designed which hopes to promote practical and feasible solutions to the former military heritage but also to claim chances of funding. 1.1.1 Location, history, key demographics, infrastructure, economy and employment Serres is a lively city in Northern Greece, some 24 kilometers northeast of River Strymon and 69 km north- east of Thessaloniki, close to the border with Bulgaria. It is the seat of the municipality with the same name and it is also the capital of the homonymous Prefecture and Regional Unit. The City of Serres Geographic location of Serres Human settlements in the place of the modern city date back to the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC and the land was uninterruptedly populated ever since. The roman era city, Sirra or Sirraion polis knew some prosperity, while during Byzantine times it was an important fortress to guard against invaders from the North. The city met with its first period of occupation, by the Bulgarians, after the 4th Crusade and fell to the Ottomans in 1383. It became the focus of anti-Ottoman unrest in the Uprising of 1903, was captured by the Bulgarians during the first Balkan War, while the Greek Army first entered the city in 1913, during the 4 second Balkan War and the land remains Greek territory ever since. It is worth noting that it is the homeland of many noted Greeks, including Konstantinos Karamanlis a prominent politician, who served as prime minister and president. The city of Serres has known many masters over the course of history, each of whom has left their mark, be it physical or cultural. The city of Serres largely coincides with the Municipal Unit of Serres and had a population of 60,642 according to the 2011 census, while its population grew by more than 17% from 1991 until 2011. It occupies an area of 600 square kilometers and is located on a fertile plain at an elevation of about 70 meters, The aging index, which is the percentage of population over 65 compared to children under 14, was at 1,10, the dependence index, the percentage of people who are economically depended on other individuals for a number of reasons, was 0,49, while the replacement index, which compares those who are about to enter the workforce to those who are about to retire from it, fares a respectable 1,15 (values over 1 mean that more are about to enter then those leaving). However, it must be noted that neither the aging nor the dependence indexes approximate their optimal values. With respect to their level of education: 29.87% have finished or dropped

  • Grazing Behavior of the Greek Breed of Sheep »Serres« in Lowland and Mountainous Pastures
    Archiv Tierzucht 54 (2011) 2, 165-176, ISSN 0003-9438 © Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology, Dummerstorf, Germany Grazing behavior of the greek breed of sheep »Serres« in lowland and mountainous pastures Athanasios Loridas1, Ioannis Mountousis2, Christos Roukos1, Maria Yiakoulaki3 and Kostantinos Papanikolaou1 1Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Agriculture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece, 2Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Agriculture, Technological Educational Institute of Western Macedonia, Terma Kontopoulou, Florina, Greece, 3Department of Range and Wildlife Science (236), School of Forestry and Natural Environment, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The grazing activities of indigenous sheep of the greek breed »Serres« was investigated in a typical lowland, and in a mountainous pasture in northern Greece during the vegetative period (April-October) of 2008. Grazing time, resting and ruminating time, distance travel and air temperature in relation to pasturing month and altitude were examined. It was remarked significant effect (P<0.001) of the pasturing month on grazing time, and resting time of sheep. Mean grazing time was greater in the lowland (315.71 min/day ±4.57) than in the mountainous pasture (283.57 min/day ±4.79). On the contrary, the resting time and the distance travel of sheep were shorter in the lowland pasture. The resting time had significant (P<0.01) positive relationship to air temperature (r=0.777). Keywords: grazing activity, vegetative period, sheep breed »Serres«, lowland pasture, mountainous pasture, northern Greece Zusammenfassung Weideverhalten der griechischen Schafrasse »Serres« auf Tiefland- und Bergweide in Nordgriechenland Im Jahr 2008 erfolgten in den Monaten April bis Oktober Beobachtungen des Weideverhalten von Schafen unter den Bedingungen des Tieflandes als auch im Gebirge Nordgriechenlands.

The main ob- jective is to depict the climate of the era throughout the time frame from 1916 -- the commencement of their captivity outside Greece – and their re- turn in 1918, through the personal and collective experiences of ordinary people. It is an effort to highlight the value of the oral culture, incorporating the voice of the unseen protagonists into the historical data. It describes the way they reached this specific area, the two years they spent there, and the four phases of their return. Key words: Oral history, Collective memory, Vlachs, Captivity, Serres This announcement is the product of an on-the-spot study of the Vla- chophones of Serres, and more specifically refers to the Vlachophones of Irakleia (Tzoumagias), Petritsi, Vyroneia, and Poroion. It is founded mainly on oral ac- counts of first-generation individuals who witnessed the events of the captivity. The chief objective of this article is to depict the climate of the period from 1916 – the commencement of their captivity outside Greece – and their return in 1918, through the personal and collective experiences of ordinary people.

  • For Municipal Solid Waste Management in Greece
    Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Description and Economic Evaluation of a “Zero-Waste Mortar-Producing Process” for Municipal Solid Waste Management in Greece Alexandros Sikalidis 1,2 and Christina Emmanouil 3,* 1 Amsterdam Business School, Accounting Section, University of Amsterdam, 1012 WX Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2 Faculty of Economics, Business and Legal Studies, International Hellenic University, 57001 Thessaloniki, Greece 3 School of Spatial Planning and Development, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2310-995638 Received: 2 July 2019; Accepted: 19 July 2019; Published: 23 July 2019 Abstract: The constant increase of municipal solid wastes (MSW) as well as their daily management pose a major challenge to European countries. A significant percentage of MSW originates from household activities. In this study we calculate the costs of setting up and running a zero-waste mortar-producing (ZWMP) process utilizing MSW in Northern Greece. The process is based on a thermal co-processing of properly dried and processed MSW with raw materials (limestone, clay materials, silicates and iron oxides) needed for the production of clinker and consequently of mortar in accordance with the Greek Patent 1003333, which has been proven to be an environmentally friendly process. According to our estimations, the amount of MSW generated in Central Macedonia, Western Macedonia and Eastern Macedonia and Thrace regions, which is conservatively estimated at 1,270,000 t/y for the year 2020 if recycling schemes in Greece are not greatly ameliorated, may sustain six ZWMP plants while offering considerable environmental benefits. This work can be applied to many cities and areas, especially when their population generates MSW at the level of 200,000 t/y, hence requiring one ZWMP plant for processing.

  • The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia
    XII. The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia by Iakovos D. Michailidis Most of the reports on Greece published by international organisations in the early 1990s spoke of the existence of 200,000 “Macedonians” in the northern part of the country. This “reasonable number”, in the words of the Greek section of the Minority Rights Group, heightened the confusion regarding the Macedonian Question and fuelled insecurity in Greece’s northern provinces.1 This in itself would be of minor importance if the authors of these reports had not insisted on citing statistics from the turn of the century to prove their points: mustering historical ethnological arguments inevitably strengthened the force of their own case and excited the interest of the historians. Tak- ing these reports as its starting-point, this present study will attempt an historical retrospective of the historiography of the early years of the century and a scientific tour d’horizon of the statistics – Greek, Slav and Western European – of that period, and thus endeavour to assess the accuracy of the arguments drawn from them. For Greece, the first three decades of the 20th century were a long period of tur- moil and change. Greek Macedonia at the end of the 1920s presented a totally different picture to that of the immediate post-Liberation period, just after the Balkan Wars. This was due on the one hand to the profound economic and social changes that followed its incorporation into Greece and on the other to the continual and extensive population shifts that marked that period. As has been noted, no fewer than 17 major population movements took place in Macedonia between 1913 and 1925.2 Of these, the most sig- nificant were the Greek-Bulgarian and the Greek-Turkish exchanges of population under the terms, respectively, of the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly and the 1923 Lausanne Convention.

  • A Report on Preventing Any Further Desecration of the Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations
    A Report on Preventing any Further Desecration of the Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations Prepared for Asra Kadisha, Conference of Academicians for the Protection of Jewish Cemeteries and the Central Rabbinical Congress July 2008 By David Rubel Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations 2 BACKGROUND 1. The old Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki is being desecrated by construction under the authority of the City of Thessaloniki and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The cemetery was once the largest Jewish cemetery in the world and is located in a city that was home to one of longest continuous Jewish communities only to be destroyed during the Nazi occupation in World War II. The Asra Kadisha (Committee for the Preservation of Gravesites), the leadership of the Jewish community of Greece, as well as other Jewish organizations dedicated to the preservation of cemeteries abroad, have all strongly protested the desecration of the Jewish cemetery as violation of their religious beliefs. All of these organizations have stated that construction is taking place inside the boundaries of the Jewish cemetery..All construction work of a new Metro station and a campus building should be halted immediately. CURRENT DESECRETION 2. Until an authoritative and unbiased map is finally produced of the Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki, all construction in contested areas should stop immediately. An area of land with such great religious and historical significance deserves a full and exhaustive research undertaking. A professional land survey and thorough historical investigation are essential. Just from the research that we have conducted on the cemetery, it is abundantly clear that there is compelling evidence that significantly differs from the United States Consulate General Office in Thessaloniki (which is based on mapping from the Survey Office of Thessaloniki in 1936 and cannot be judged an objective party).
