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.

Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.

Haggis) The Early Iron Age (c. 1200-700 B.C.) on Crete is a period of transition, comprising the years after the final collapse of the palatial system in Late Minoan IIIB up to the development of the polis, or city-state, by or during the Archaic period. Over the course of this period, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns, settlement forms, ritual contexts, and most strikingly, in burial practices. Early Iron Age burial practices varied extensively throughout the island, not only from region to region, but also often at a single site; for example, at least 12 distinct tomb types existed on Crete during this time, and both inhumation and cremation were used, as well as single and multiple burial.

Koniditsiotis Stavros Msc of Cultural Policy and Development, Open University of Cyprus, Cyprus ABSTRACT The history oF the olive tree, its cultivation and its products is known For centuries. Some olive tree have survived over millennia and their history dates back to antiquity. In many cases, it is related to mythology and religion.

  • Sustainable Tourism Development in the Greek Islands and the Role of Tourism Research and Education G
    Sustainable Tourism Development in the Greek Islands and the Role of Tourism research and Education G. ZAHARATOS P. TSARTAS 1. Tourist development and labour market features - in relation to education - in the Greek islands1 In the post-war period, Greek islands have been one of the most important tourist poles of the country. Their development features, which vary considerably and form different tourist development patterns, constitute an interesting research subject, especially in the context of sustainable tourism. In the first part of our paper, we shall examine the tourist development features in the Greek islands and the characteristics of the tourist labour market in conjunction with the education level of people employed in the tourist sector. In the second part we shall elaborate on those factors which contribute towards more sustainable development patterns in the Greek islands. Finally, in the third part, we shall suggest a set of measures and interventions in tourist research and education, which can shape a positive framework for the sustainable tourism development in the Greek islands. (a) Tourist development features in the Greek islands Tourist development in the Greek islands is characterised by a wide variety of types and models of infrastructure and services supplied. The most important factors which have contributed in shaping this insular tourist development are the following: • The non-coherent nature of tourist development together with the lack of programming and planning in the islands. • The effort to adjust infrastructure and services to different demand requirements - especially those of international demand. • The post-war tourist policy at both national and regional revels.
