Η AnaDigit ανέλαβε την μελέτη αποτύπωσης του μεγάλου πεζοπορικού κύκλου γύρω από το Λύκαιο, που είναι γνωστά ως Παρράσια Μονοπάτια, καθότι περιτρέχουν την αρχαία Παρρασία.

Η ομάδα μελέτης εγκαταστάθηκε 7 μέρες στην περιοχή, υπό την καθοδήγηση και συνεχή υποστήριξη του Φώτη Ζώη.

Τα Παρράσια Μονοπάτια αποτελούνται από 8 τμήματα συνολικού μήκους 88.4 χλμ. Η διαδρομή έχει σαν αφετηρία και τερματισμό την Καρύταινα, αλλά ως κυκλική μπορεί να έχει οποιαδήποτε αφετηρία. Επιπλέον της κεντρικής χάραξης, υπάρχουν πολλά παρακλάδια που οδηγούν σε γειτονικά χωριά ή άλλους προορισμούς (όπως ο αρχαιολογικός χώρος του Λυκαίου ή του Επικούρειου Απόλλωνα) ή γεφυρώνουν συντομεύσεις ανάμεσα στους κόμβους του ίδιου του δικτύου. 8 Ursa Trail - 2016

Work: Surveying and planning of hiking routes in Zakynthos island Work: Developing of Zakynthos Hiking mobile applications

Team: T. Adamakopoulos, R. Koutsi, I. Sofos, A. Adamakopoulos, N. Veis

Το τρίτο μεγαλύτερο νησί του Ιονίου, η Ζάκυνθος, είναι ένα από τα πιό τουριστικά νησιά της Ελλάδας. Πάνω από ένα εκατομμύριο επισκέπτες κάθε χρόνο ξεκουράζονται σε κάποιο από τα εκατοντάδες καταλύματα ή εξερευνούν τις απόμερες γωνιές της.

Ένα σημαντικό ποσοστό από τους επισκέπτες της Ζακύνθου αναζητούν έναν πιό φυσικό και άμεσο τρόπο να την περιηγηθούν και να την μάθουν. Εστιάζουν στα ορεινά χωριά, στις ερημικές παραλίες και τις δασωμένες κορυφές, ψάχνοντας για δρομάκια και μονοπάτια που θα τους οδηγήσουν σε κάποιο εκκλησάκι, μια σπηλιά ή μια ανώνυμη ράχη.

Ο Δήμος Ζακύνθου, σε μια προσπάθεια να κατευθύνει καλύτερα τους πεζοπόρους και άλλους φιλοπερίεργους φυσιολάτρες, ανέθεσε στην AnaDigit να αποτυπώσει την υπάρχουσα κατάσταση και να συγκροτήσει πιθανές πεζοπορικές διαδρομές.

Στην πρώτη φάση του έργου, αν και ελάχιστα τμήματα των παλιών ορεινών δρόμων και μονοπατιών έχουν διασωθεί στο νησί, καταβλήθηκε προσπάθεια να συνδυαστούν τα μικρά μονοπάτια με ευχάριστους χωματόδρομους και να συντεθεί ένα δίκτυο πεζοπορικής περιήγησης. Δημιουργήθηκε έτσι μια πρόταση 27 πεζοπορικών διαδρομών, που αθροίζουν 117 χλμ.

Οι 27 αυτές διαδρομές περιλαμβάνονται στην εφαρμογή πεζοπορικής πλοήγησης Zakynthos hiking που προσφέρεται δωρεάν από το Δήμο Ζακύνθου.
