This is a Roma community, with a high level of very early school drop-out coupled with a range of social and economic problems, including poverty and health challenges.

  • Areas “Affected” by Malaria in Greece 2019 Season, May 2019
    1 Areas “affected” by malaria in Greece 2019 season, May 2019 The “Working Group (WG) for the designation of areas affected by vector-borne diseases” of the National Committee for the Prevention and Control of Tropical Diseases of the Ministry of Health has convened and decided upon which areas should be designated as “affected”, following the recording of an introduced P.vivax malaria case (1st generation of transmission) in 2019. The WG of experts has carefully examined the following data: the total epidemiological data concerning malaria in Greece since 2009, the number and characteristics of all cases reported to the National Public Health Organization (N.P.H.O.) up to 24th May 2019, the characteristics of the population to which they correspond, and the geomorphological characteristics of the corresponding areas, the available entomological data for the years 2011-2019, especially for the area with the introduced case, and the literature concerning the flight range of mosquito vectors, especially Anopheles sacharovi, which is considered to be the main malaria vector in our country. According to the suggestion of European experts, an “affected area” is defined as falling within a radius of 2-6 km around the probable place of exposure of the locally acquired cases. In Greece, an affected area is usually defined by a radius of 6 km around the probable place of exposure. However, if this defined circle includes sections of large urban centres or cities (that cannot be easily divided) or if a smaller radius is deemed adequate (e.g. based on entomological data, history of cases in an area, geomorphology, etc.), the WG - following risk assessment – decides upon the exact designation of the affected area.

  • Industrial Risk in Thessaloniki and Urban Regeneration Context
    OPEN ACCESS http://www.sciforum.net/conference/wsf3 Article Industrial Risk in Thessaloniki and Urban Regeneration Context Christine Matikas * Architect Engineer, University of Thessaly, Urban Planner, DSA ENSA Paris La Villette E-Mail: [email protected] * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; Tel.: +306944664396, V.Kornarou 20, 54655, Thessaloniki, Greece Received: / Accepted: / Published: Abstract: The venture of Industrial Risk concerns life, natural – built environment and socio- economic activities. The aim of the research is to identify the threat, its awareness and to ensure the protection of residents. Activities that can lead to a Major Accident (MA), installation process of new units – establishments and responsibilities of investors and the state, are indicated in European Directives, called SEVESO. Employers have responsibility for safety within the industrial establishment; the state is responsible for the perimeter. So governments are responsible for the methods determining the Protection Zones (PZ), the expected impacts of a MA per zone and the Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP). In Greece these arrangements are not a result of institutionally entrenched methodological choices. For the first time, new SEVESO installations are related to Land Use Planning in the Directive SEVESO II of 1996, without referring to the existing proximity of corresponding activities to the urban fabric. Western Thessaloniki is the territory in danger. It is established the fact that the parameter of industrial risk is absent from the urban planning of the area. The urban paradox of residents’ coexistence to the risk (threat) is probably caused by the diachronic vicinity of urban tissue with industries, without any relative preoccupation, despite occasional incidents.

  • Image-Based Surrogates of Socio-Economic Status in Urban Neighborhoods Using Deep Multiple Instance Learning
    Article Image-Based Surrogates of Socio-Economic Status in Urban Neighborhoods Using Deep Multiple Instance Learning Christos Diou * ID , Pantelis Lelekas and Anastasios Delopoulos Multimedia Understanding Group, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] (P.L.); [email protected] (A.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2310-994376 Received: 7 August 2018; Accepted: 18 October 2018; Published: 23 October 2018 Abstract: (1) Background: Evidence-based policymaking requires data about the local population’s socioeconomic status (SES) at detailed geographical level, however, such information is often not available, or is too expensive to acquire. Researchers have proposed solutions to estimate SES indicators by analyzing Google Street View images, however, these methods are also resource-intensive, since they require large volumes of manually labeled training data. (2) Methods: We propose a methodology for automatically computing surrogate variables of SES indicators using street images of parked cars and deep multiple instance learning. Our approach does not require any manually created labels, apart from data already available by statistical authorities, while the entire pipeline for image acquisition, parked car detection, car classification, and surrogate variable computation is fully automated. The proposed surrogate variables are then used in linear regression models to estimate the target SES indicators. (3) Results: We implement and evaluate a model based on the proposed surrogate variable at 30 municipalities of varying SES in Greece. Our model has R2 = 0.76 and a correlation coefficient of 0.874 with the true unemployment rate, while it achieves a mean absolute percentage error of 0.089 and mean absolute error of 1.87 on a held-out test set.

Tackling the barriers 4.1 What it worked or not 4.2 What did the team learn? 4.3 What did the team change as a resul?t 4.4 What difference has it made? 5. The next step- What the team plans to change in the future Conclusion Introduction The municipality of Ampelokipi-Menemeni, within the city of Thessaloniki, Greece, has had a focus on working with a specific community in the city as part of the Stay Tuned project. This is a Roma community, with a high level of very early school drop-out coupled with a range of social and economic problems, including poverty and health challenges. 1. The starting point One of the priorities for the municipality (and for the national government in Greece) is the reduction of school drop-outs and Early Leaving from Education and Training (ELET). But as with all Greek municipalities, their role does not include the remit to get involved in school teaching and the curriculum. The content and shape of the school day is effectively “off-limits” for the municipality and they must not interfere with these aspects or work within the school. As a result, officials in corresponding positions have typically discounted their being able to influence ELET and had left this exclusively to the schools. However, ELET negatively affects many areas that are within a municipality’s concern and that are their responsibility to address, from unemployment to poverty, to the local economy.

The problem is high also at European Union’s political agenda, which highlights the issue of odours at European level and seeks to apply innovative tools, such as direct citizen participation and education, modelling and mapping tools, in order to tackle the problem and propose a related legislative framework and establish rules for controlling and reducing odour disturbances. In this context, a key feature is the creation of an exchange of views to inform and understand the nature of odour incidents, with the joint involvement of authorities, citizens, universities and odour producers, with the aim of exploring mutually acceptable solutions. To the best of our knowledge, there are very few studies that deal with the issue of odour nuisance, even less that focus on the western part of the city of Thessaloniki.

Under those provisions, our Municipality consists of two Municipal Communities, the Municipal Community of Ampelokipi and the Municipal Community of Menemeni. Geographically, it belongs to the Decentralised Administration of Macedonia and Thrace (prefecture of Thessaloniki) and occupies the northwestern side of the Thessaloniki Conurbation, bordering with the Municipalities of Delta (West), Kordelio – Evosmos (Northwest), Pavlou Mela (North), Neapolis – Sykeon (East), Thessaloniki (Southeast) and surrounded by Thermaikos Bay in the south. 2 PROFILE OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF AMPELOKIPI – MENEMENI Its total area is 591,73 hectares and morphologically it is classified as lowland. Due to the passing of the main road and railway ways to the city of Thessaloniki, the municipal community of Menemeni features limited residential development, and, compared to other western Municipalities, has few urban residential areas. This urban area is connected to the municipal community of Ambelokipoi, which is fully developed residentially. The population, according to the 2001 census is 56.092 residents (40.959 residents in the Municipality of Ampelokipi and 15.133 residents in the Municipality of Menemeni), today however, just before the new census and according to estimates of local officials and Municipality representatives, it is estimated that the new Municipality has approximately 90.000 residents.
