However, a key part of the National Energy and Climate Plan is to gradually phase out the use of lignite, which includes the decommissioning of all existing lignite units by 2023, except the Ptolemaida V unit, which will be closed by 2028. This plan makes Greece a frontrunner among countries who intensively use lignite in energy production. In this context, this paper investigates the environmental, economic, and social state of Megalopolis and the related perspectives with regard to the energy transition, through the elaboration of a SWOT analysis, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the municipality of Megalopolis and the regional unit of Arcadia.

The ESIA of the TAP project in Greece was submitted to the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change (MEECC) in June 2013 and the project was granted a positive Decision on Approval of Environmental Terms (Protocol. No. 174848) in September 12, 2014. A number of changes have taken place to the pipeline route and the design and location of the permanent and temporary facilities of the TAP project since the submission of the ESIA.

Orestiada, Greece.; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Presented at the 6th International Electronic Conference on Sensors and Applications, 15–30 November 2019; Available online: https://ecsa-6.sciforum.net/ Published: 2020 Abstract: Forests and forest plantations are ranked first in storing carbon and play a substantial role in climate change mitigation. The assimilated carbon is stored in the above and below ground parts of the trees; in dead wood; in litter and in soil. The Greek power generation and supply company, PPC S.A. started environmental rehabilitation projects to rehabilitate the restored areas after the end of the exploitation at the open cast lignite mines of the Lignite Center of Western Macedonia in the 80s by planting different tree species; mainly black locust. Today some of these plantations are almost forty years old and occupy 2,200 ha in total. The dominant planted species is the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a fast-growing pioneer species; covering 95% of the planted area. Other planted species are Spartium junceum; and Cupresus arizonica; covering 2.45% and 1.44%, respectively.

At times, the construction of such areas is attributed to factors which are not purely social: such factors are geographical location, the geophysical morphology of the wider area, relevant administrative or political laws etc. Overall, major cities and towns are constructed under the influence of a number of factors, cultural, historical, administrative, geographical, social, etc. The considerations discussed above are ensued by a shared attitude towards space, according to the following principles: a) Spatial allotment of human activities, which reflects the organized accommodation in considerations of distance, b) Decisions concerning land planning, which are taken in order to minimize the effects of distance, c) The locations in space, which are accompanied by accessibility standards, despite the fact that access to specific places is easier, d) The tendency to accumulate economic activities in space so that economy scales can be favoured, e) Human activities, which naturally tend to be ranked. The present paper aims at discussing aspects of the trade fair in the town of Amyntaio.
