Vulnerable Social Groups (VSG) and discrimination in the labour market: Quantitative field survey Emmanuel Chrysakis, Roi Kinti, Katerina Tsantila 1.1. Methodology 1.1.1. General information In order to investigate discriminations faced by members of vulnerable social groups (VSG) in the Greek labour market, a quantitative field study was carried out across the country. The survey was addressed to VSG members, who are getting services from local Employment Promotion Centres (EPC) of the Manpower Employment Organization (OAED), but also to a control group, comprised by individuals who do not belong to any vulnerable population groups. More specifically, the survey was conducted with a sample of 1280 VSG members throughout Greece, using face-to-face semi-structured interview (for a description of the questionnaire, see section 1.1.4 below). Interviews were also carried out in a control group, comprising 306 individuals who live or/ and work in the Prefecture of Attica. 1.2 Sampling 1.2.1. Participants

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

The 2018 Report is extremely important to us, as 2018 signals the operational completion of our project, and during this year: A) Both the construction and the full operation of the Ionia Odos motorway have been completed, a project linking 2 Regions, 4 prefectures and 10 Municipalities, giving a boost to development not only in Western Greece and Epirus, but in the whole country, B) Significant infrastructure upgrade projects have also been designed, implemented and completed at the A.TH.E Motorway section from Metamorphosis in Attica to Scarfia, a section we operate, maintain and manage. During the first year of the full operation of the motorways - with 500 employees in management and operation, with more than 350 kilometres of modern, safe motorways in 7 prefectures of our country with a multitude of local communities - we incorporated in our daily operations actions, activities and programs we had designed, aiming at supporting and implementing the key strategic and development pillars of our company for the upcoming years.

    ACTION PLAN FOR CIVIL PROTECTION FOR THE REGION OF IONIAN ISLANDS Konstantinos Karidis Director of Civil Protection Department,Region of Ionian Islands,Corfu, Greece,[email protected] Abstract The Region of the Ionian Islands, on an initiative by the Regional Governor, collaborated in 2015 with the national Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization (OASP), in order to organise an annually driven Pan-Ionian Earthquake Drill. The drill takes place on a different island of the region each year. The first drill, code named "Telemachos 2015", took place in Zakynthos, the second in Lefkada, named "Lefkadios 2016", while last year’s drill with the Homeric name “Alkinoos”, was held in Corfu and was remarkably successful. P.I.N.’s initiatives have now been integrated into 2 innovative programs, co-funded by the EU (NSRF 2014-2020), named "TELEMACHOS" and "LAERTIS", which are run by the Civil Protection Department. The “Telemachos” program focused on the creation of an innovative system for seismic risk management in the Ionian Islands and includes: The elaboration of thematic maps (geological, geotechnical, seismic etc) and soil and vulnerability measurements of buildings, networks and infrastructures, as well as the development of a system to support the exchange of data between stakeholders and their processing in real time. The "Laertis" program includes the risk assessment of fires, floods, erosion as well as the risk of landslides and the analysis of vulnerability for all the above risks using satellite images. In the meantime, an Emergency Management System based on Wireless Sensor Network technologies is foreseen to provide emergency information to operators, as well as the production of special information material and the provision of the necessary equipment for the prevention and suppression of risks in natural disasters.

On the one hand it demarcates the physical, structural, social and economic parameters and the eliciting environmental problems in Thriassion Plain, the main industrial area of metropolitan Athens, Greece. On the other hand it attempts to delineate a framework of total unit management in terms of actions that may make possible the solution of long term pollution problems focusing on the whole spectrum of potential policy alternatives. Such an approach could con- tribute in presenting some options, for water resources management in particular and in general for nat- ural resources management efforts, that may outline an environmental management framework neces- sary for a continuous, comprehensive and future oriented development of the area. KEY WORDS: Environmental Management, environmental impacts, water resources, waste water, pol- lution, natural resources, wastes policies, Athens, Greece.

Published: 7 September 2020 Abstract: Marathon Lake is an artificial reservoir with great environmental, ecological, social, and economic significance because it was the main source of water for Athens, the capital of Greece, for many years. The present study details the first attempt to map sedimentation in Marathon Lake in detail, using bathymetric mapping and soil erosion field surveying of the torrent watershed areas.
