  • Αυτοκινητα Made by Greece
    13/4/2017 » ΑΥΤΟΚΙΝΗΤΑ MADE BY GREECE VFM ΑΚΟΥ ΤΙ ΕΙΠΑΝ ΣΥΝΕΝΤΕΥΞΕΙΣ ΕΠΙΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑ 20 Μαρτίου 2017 ΑΥΤΟΚΙΝΗΤΑ MADE BY GREECE Στο κτήριο – κόσμημα, που ονομάζεται «Ελληνικό Μουσείο Αυτοκινήτου» και βρίσκεται στο κέντρο της Αθήνας λίγα μέτρα από το Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο, διεξάγεται η κορυφαία και πιο σημαντική έκθεση οχημάτων που έχει γίνει ποτέ στην Ελλάδα. Στην έκθεση «Made By Hellas» φιλοξενούνται δεκάδες οχήματα που έχουν φτιαχτεί από ελληνικά χέρια, αλλά ποτέ δεν έγιναν γνωστά στο ευρύ κοινό (τουλάχιστον τα περισσότερα) λόγω της γραφειοκρατίας. Με πρωτοβουλία του Θ. Χαραγκιώνη, όλα τα ελληνικά οχήματα-δημιουργήματα βρίσκονται σε κοινή θέα για να μπορεί ο καθένας να μάθει την ιστορία του αυτοκινήτου στην Ελλάδα. Δεν πρέπει να ξεχνάμε πως ελάχιστοι πιστεύουν ότι μπορούμε να έχουμε βαριά βιομηχανία και να κοιτάζουμε στα μάτια τους διεθνείς παίκτες της αγοράς. Όμως, αν γυρίσουμε τον χρόνο πίσω και ανατρέξουμε σε γεγονότα, θα διαπιστώσουμε πως αν υπήρχε πέρα από την ιδιωτική πρωτοβουλία και κρατική, τώρα θα γράφαμε για άλλα πράγματα. Να θυμηθούμε το εργοστάσιο της Nissan στον Βόλο, τις πρωτότυπες κατασκευές που έμειναν στα χαρτιά ή παρατημένες σε κλειστά γκαράζ, τα όνειρα που δεν προχώρησαν, γιατί δεν υπήρξε βοήθεια… Από ηλεκτρικά μέχρι… super car Στην έκθεση «Made By Hellas», υπάρχει το θρυλικό Pony το οποίο κατά πάσα πιθανότητα θα κυκλοφορήσει φέτος, το ηλεκτρικό Enfield E8000 που κατασκευάστηκε στη Σύρο τη δεκαετία του ’70, το λεγόμενο super car Korres Project 4, τα σύγχρονα Fiat Barchetta και Audi A3 που έχουν σχεδιάσει Έλληνες (!), εκθέματα από πανεπιστήμια, το διθέσιο του Αντώνη Τζεν με τον κινητήρα των 50 κ.εκ., τα μοντέλα της Replicar Hellas, το ιδιόμορφο πλαίσιο του Δημήτρη Χατζηκακίδη κ.ά.

  • 1.1 Demographic Profile of the Greece
    1.1 DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE GREECE The Demographics of Greece refer to the demography of the population that inhabits the Greek peninsula. As of January 2008, the population of Greece is estimated at 11,262,000 by Eurostat. Greece was inhabited as early as the Paleolithic period. Prior to the 2nd millennium BC, the Greek peninsula was inhabited by various pre-Hellenic peoples, the most notable of which were the Pelasgians. The Greek language ultimately dominated the peninsula and Greece's mosaic of small city-states became culturally similar. The population estimates on the Greeks during the 4th century BC, is approximately 3.5 million on the Greek peninsula and 4 to 6.5 million in the rest of the entire Mediterranean Basin,[5] including all colonies such as those in Magna Graecia, Asia Minor and the shores of the Black Sea. 1 Population: 11,329,618 Growth rate: 0.146% Birth rate: 9.45 births/1,000 population Death rate: 10.51 deaths/1,000 population Life expectancy: 79.66 years –male: 77.11 years –female: 82.37 years Fertility rate: 1.50 children born/woman Age structure: 0-14 years: 14.3% 15-64 years: 66.6% 65-over: 19.1% Sex ratio: At birth: 1.06 male(s)/female Under 15: 1.06 male(s)/female 15-64 years: 1.00 male(s)/female 65-over: 0.78 male(s)/female Nationality: Nationality: noun : Greek(s) adjective: Greek 2 1.2 GEOGRAPHY OF THE GREECE Continent: Europe Region: Southern Europe (Balkan Peninsula) Coordinates: 39°00′N 22°00′E / 39°N 22°E Area: Ranked 96th 131,940 km 2 (50,940 sq mi) 99.1% land 0.9% water Borders: Total land borders: 1,228 km (7 63 miles) Albania: 282 km (175 mi) Bulgaria: 494 km (307 mi) Turkey: 206 km (128 mi) Rep.

  • Transportation Systems
    Source: Urban Transportation Systems CHAPTER1 Overview—Criteria for Selecting Modes Life in cities—i.e., in organized human settlements, which are mostly referred to as communities in this book—is possible only if people have mobility1 on a daily basis—the ability to move around so that they can do what they have to do or like to do. One char- acterization of a city is that it consists of specialized, frequently clustered, activities that perform discrete functions. Residences are separate from workplaces, major shopping is concentrated in identifiable centers, and larger entertainment and relaxation facil- ities are found at specific locations. They have to have accessi- bility.2 Unlike in a village, very few of these destinations are reachable on foot; at least, they tend not to be within a convenient walking distance. The large ancient and medieval cities were actually conglomer- ations of neighborhoods in which daily life could take place 1 Mobility is here defined as the ability of any person to move between points in a community by private or public means of transportation. The usual obstacles to mobility are long distances, bad weather, steep hills (all constituting friction of space), but, above all, the unavailability of services, high fares, and possibly other forms of exclusion. 2 Accessibility is here defined as the possibility of reaching any activity, estab- lishment, or land use in a community by people (or by conveyances of goods or information) who have a reason to get there. It is a measure of the quality and operational effectiveness of a community. 1 Downloaded from Digital Engineering Library @ McGraw-Hill (www.digitalengineeringlibrary.com) Copyright © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies.
