An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short Description of the Region
An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short description of the region Located in the north-western corner of Greece at 850 metres above sea level and surrounded by mountains, the Prespa Lakes region is a natural park of great significance due to its biodiversity and endemic species. Prespa is a trans boundary park shared between Greece, Albania and FYR Macedonia. It only takes a few moments for the receptive visitor to see that they have arrived at a place with its own unique personality. Prespa is for those who love nature and outdoor activities all year round. This is a place to be appreciated with all the senses, as if it had been designed to draw us in, and remind us that we, too, are a part of nature. Prespa is a place where nature, art and history come together in and around the Mikri and Megali Prespa lakes; there are also villages with hospitable inhabitants, always worth a stop on the way to listen to their stories and the histories of the place. The lucky visitor might share in the activities of local people’s daily life, which are all closely connected to the seasons of the year. These activities have, to a large extent, shaped the life in Prespa. The three main traditional occupations in the region are agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. There are a lot of paths, guiding you into the heart of nature; perhaps up into the high mountains, or to old abandoned villages, which little by little are being returned once more to nature’s embrace. -
Spatial Changes of Forests in a Coastal and a Remote Mountainous Area of Greece Over a 65-Year Period
European Journal of Geography Volume 11, Issue 4, pp. 093 - 109 Article Info: Accepted: 16/12/2020 Corresponding Author: *[email protected] https://doi.org/10.48088/ejg.s.kol.11.4.93.109 Special Issue: “Selected Papers from 12th International Conference of the Hellenic Geographical Society (ICHGS): Innovative Geographies II, 2019” Spatial changes of forests in a coastal and a remote mountainous area of Greece over a 65-year period Stavros KOLIOS1*, George NTOGAS2, 1 University of Ioannina, Greece 2 Efthimios ZERVAS2 Hellenic Open University, Greece Keywords: Abstract ICHGS-2019, The scope of the study is to detect spatial changes in the forested areas over forest changes, six decades (1945 - 2010) of two completely different landscapes in Greece spatial analysis, (pilot areas). The first pilot area is Kastoria which is a relatively remote and image classification, mountainous area located north-western on the Greek peninsula, while the GIS second one is Propontida which is a coastal area in the Chalkidiki peninsula (central Macedonia, Greece). High resolution orthorectified aerial images are used to detect the general types (classes) of land use/land cover (LULC) in these pilot areas. The results reveal that during the examined period, a notable spatial growth and thickening of the forest areas was found (10,51%) in the pilot area of Kastoria. The spatial homogeneity of the forested areas in Kastoria decreased only by 2,11%. Regarding Propontida, the forested areas decreased in total about 13,02% while the agricultural and arable land has increased by 12,10%. The publication of the European Journal of Geography (EJG) is based on the European Association of Geographers’ goal to make European Geography a worldwide reference and standard. -

TRANSLATION: Evangelia Gryllou Member of the International Federation of Translators Nitsa Papadopoulou Administrative staff of the School COORDINATING / EDITING: Fani Moumtzidou Architect I.U.A.V.- PhD History of Art Page 2 of 230 SCHOOL GUIDEBOOK 2013-2014 Page 3 of 230 FOREWORD BY THE HEAD OF THE SCHOOL The Syllabus of the School of Architecture includes a brief description of the courses for the new academic year 2013-14. The School’s curriculum is the result of a detailed and lengthy process and is still competent today, without significant changes, despite the important loss of human resources. In the course of time, the School’s policy has created an educational environment that covers the entire scope of architecture from the industrial design scale to that of landscape, urban and regional planning. Art and architectural theory and history, construction and building techniques, rehabilitation and restoration of buildings and sites are also addressed by relevant courses. The broadness of the approach though, in combination with the large selection of courses offered by the school, can presently generate problems with the facilities and personnel available, particularly at this moment with the large number of students as anticipated after the recent increase in admissions and transfers. On the other hand, this plurality of the courses offered, enriches the educational process and allows for a detailed examination of specific issues which only major architectural schools can meet. -
Spyridon Sfetas Autonomist Movements of the Slavophones in 1944
Spyridon Sfetas Autonomist Movements of the Slavophones in 1944: The Attitude of the Communist Party of Greece and the Protection of the Greek-Yugoslav Border The founding of the Slavo-Macedonian Popular Liberation Front (SNOF) in Kastoria in October 1943 and in Florina the following November was a result of two factors: the general negotiations between Tito's envoy in Yugoslav and Greek Macedonia, Svetozar Vukmanovic-Tempo, the military leaders of the Greek Popular Liberation Army (ELAS), and the political leaders of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) in July and August 1943 to co-ordinate the resistance movements1; and the more specific discussions between Leonidas Stringos and the political delegate of the GHQ of Yugoslav Macedonia, Cvetko Uzunovski in late August or early September 1943 near Yannitsa2. The Yugoslavs’ immediate purpose in founding SNOF was to inculcate a Slavo-Macedonian national consciousness in the Slavophones of Greek Macedonia and to enlist the Slavophones of Greek Macedonia into the resistance movement in Yugoslav Macedonia; while their indirect aim was to promote Yugoslavia's views on the Macedonian Question3. The KKE had recognised the Slavophones as a “SlavoMacedonian nation” since 1934, in accordance with the relevant decision by the Comintern, and since 1935 had been demanding full equality for the minorities within the Greek state; and it now acquiesced to the founding of SNOF in the belief that this would draw into the resistance those Slavophones who had been led astray by Bulgarian Fascist propaganda4.

The Shaping of the New Macedonia (1798-1870)
VIII. The shaping of the new Macedonia (1798-1870) by Ioannis Koliopoulos 1. Introduction Macedonia, both the ancient historical Greek land and the modern geographical region known by that name, has been perhaps one of the most heavily discussed countries in the world. In the more than two centuries since the representatives of revolutionary France introduced into western insular and continental Greece the ideas and slogans that fostered nationalism, the ancient Greek country has been the subject of inquiry, and the object of myth-making, on the part of archaeologists, historians, ethnologists, political scientists, social anthropologists, geographers and anthropogeographers, journalists and politicians. The changing face of the ancient country and its modern sequel, as recorded in the testimonies and studies of those who have applied themselves to the subject, is the focus of this present work. Since the time, two centuries ago, when the world’s attention was first directed to it, the issue of the future of this ancient Greek land – the “Macedonian Question” as it was called – stirred the interest or attracted the involvement of scientists, journalists, diplomats and politicians, who moulded and remoulded its features. The periodical cri- ses in the Macedonian Question brought to the fore important researchers and generated weighty studies, which, however, with few exceptions, put forward aspects and charac- teristics of Macedonia that did not always correspond to the reality and that served a variety of expediencies. This militancy on the part of many of those who concerned themselves with the ancient country and its modern sequel was, of course, inevitable, given that all or part of that land was claimed by other peoples of south-eastern Europe as well as the Greeks. -

Sustainable Heritage Tourism: Towards a Community-Led Approach
Sustainable heritage tourism: Towards a community-led approach Mina Dragouni UCL PhD 2 3 I, Mina Dragouni confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 4 Abstract This doctoral thesis explores community participation in heritage tourism planning as a sustainable solution to real-world cultural heritage problems, such as neglect and degradation at economically-deprived areas. In particular, the study examines how the strategic design of heritage tourism can accommodate the active involvement of destination hosts, such as local residents and business owners, and their meaningful collaboration with heritage managers and policymakers. The literature suggests that destination communities are heavily affected by tourism activity and their contribution to tourism planning is vital for achieving commitment to sustainability goals. Although the theoretical grounds of community involvement are well set, heritage tourism management has been slow in applying participatory approaches. Consequently, there is little empirical work on the practical implications of realising a more pluralist governance for heritage tourism and limited evidence to convince current ‘power-holders’ such as state officials to share their power with non-expert stakeholders. This project aspires to fill this void by exploring the process and particularities of instigating community participation at destination level in areas with no previous participatory experience. By adopting the case-study approach, it explores Kastoria, a peripheral emerging destination in Greece, conducting for the first time an ex-ante assessment of the challenges and complexities involved in pursuing community involvement on Arnstein’s (1969) rungs of ‘citizen power’. -
