N. Kazantzakis,Report to Greco F ROMTHE THRIASIAN PLAIN on the west to the gulf of Euboiaon the east the landwardborders of Atticawere guardedby impressivefortifications in antiquity. Much is known about them, and the very mention of their names-Eleusis, Oinoe, Phyle, Rhamnous-bringsto mind momentousincidents in the historyof ancientAth- ens, and well-preservedashlar enceintes and towers.Far from these borders,in central and southernAttica, are otherfortifications which do not sharethe limelightwith their morefamous brethren because they are for the most partwithout historical context and are coarse,albeit often substantial,rubble constructions. These rubbleforts have been studiedby J. R. McCrediein a monographwhich is indispensableto topographersand historiansalike.1 For besidespublishing plans and site descriptionsMcCredie provided a historicalreconstruction which plausibly explains about half (13 of 30) the installations in his provisionalcorpus of fortifiedmilitary camps.2 Yet since we are dealingwith simple,rough structures, it is not alwayseasy to distinguishbetween military and non- militarycomplexes. So it is with alternativepossibilities in mindthat I wish to turnboth to McCredie'smonograph, with some possibleadditions and subtractions,3and to a few other little-knownAttic sites, in orderto make an offeringto the great man of Attic I Hesperia,Suppl.

KAISARIANI On KaisarianiBerg near the monasteryof KaisarianiMcCredie rediscovered a wall which had not been seen since early in the 19th century.4He consideredit partof a fortification,but it is, in my opinion,simply an ancientagricultural field wall. A good parallelmay be found in southernAttica on Mont Michel (P1.7:a). On the southern slope of that hill a wall runs for over 100 meters, from near the summitto the lower edge of tree cover where it disappearsin a vinyard(in aboutthe center of Plate 7:a). The wall is 0.90 m. thickand is preservedwith few exceptionsonly level with the slop- ing surfaceof the hill (P1.7:b). It is composedof single blocks of greenstonewhich formthe full widthof the wall.The stones are roughlydressed on each end to give the wall two faces. As with the wall on KaisarianiBerg there are no meansfor dating,nor are there any tracesof buildingsin the immediatearea. If the slopes of Mont Michel were given over to agriculturein antiquity,as I believe, this wouldexplain the absence of ancientremains. The wallcould have servedto demarcatethe landof two individuals or to protectcertain areas from grazinglivestock. Whatever the case, it seems very unlikelythat this remotewall served a militarypurpose. Likewisethe wall on KaisarianiBerg may be given a more fitting explanation. Investigationshave shownthat the southwesternslopes of MountHymettos were heavi- ly cultivatedin antiquitywith the aid of an extensive system of terraces.5Kaisariani Bergis considerablynorth of this, but it too doubtlesslylay withina cultivatedarea and supportedterraces of arableland, thoughtoday the appearanceof the hill is completely differentafter centuriesof erosion.In antiquity,with a plentifulsupply of waterfrom near-bysprings and enoughsoil to allowit, this hill could have been in the midstof a largeagricultural district. The wall on its northand east sides couldhave been builtfor any of severalreasons required by farmingactivity. McCredienoted the similarityof the wall on KaisarianiBerg to other walls with demonstrablemilitary purpose, the Thriasian"Lager" and the Kamaterowall. This similaritycannot be denied.But if it be acceptedthat agriculturalfield wallswere built in ancientAttica and that KaisarianiBerg was situatedin a farmingdistrict, an explana- tion alongthe lines arguedabove is equallypossible. ST. DEMETRIOSRIDGE In his discussionof the structureon this ridgeMcCredie6 favored explaining it as a lookoutpost or signaltower because it commandsa wide coastalview and is intervisible with the acropolisof Anagyrous.New ceramicfinds suggesta differentfunction.

The sherds are mostly pieces of good black glaze, and they support McCredie's Classical dating of the structure based on previous ceramic evidence. Two inscribedpieces have turned up in the new wash of sherds. One is a fragment of a Corinthian-typeskyphos7 with a graffito broken away at both sides (Fig. 2:a). The reading &vE'IOEK[E immediately comes to mind. The other piece is a body sherd, glazed inside and out, and probablybelonging to a similar type of vessel (Fig. 2:b). Its inscriptionis in two lines the second of which is broken away at a FIG.2. Graffitifrom St. Demetrios Ridge. Actual size the right but not at the left. The obvious restoration is hLEp[ovIwith the first line namingthe divine recipientof the cup, [ToV3'AVr6~oA l oV, [ToV3 ial ov, vel sim. The difficultywith this is that the first line does not seem to be broken away at left or right, as sufficient amounts of uninscribedsurface are preserved to either side as to suggest that the first line is complete. Yet N01 is a word fragment and cannot stand alone. I prefer to regard the letters as the genitive singular ending of the deity honored and to explain their seemingly isolated position as the result of irregularletter spacing, or word division with the rest of the name in a missing line above the preserved letters. What- ever the explanationthe second line certainlyindicates a religious intent for the cup. Based on the evidence of these votive graffiti I suggest that the structure on the ridge of St. Demetrios was a small sanctuaryrather than a military tower. McCredie is convinced that its walls never rose higher than

  • Vassilis Arapoglou,* Thomas Maloutas**
    The Greek Review of Social Research, special issue 136 C´, 2011, 135-155 Vassilis Arapoglou,* Thomas Maloutas** SEGREGATION, INEQUALITY AND MARGINALITY IN CONTEXT: THE CASE OF ATHENS ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the contextual factors that shape the dynamics and the patterns of segregation in Athens. Migration and changes in the ethnic composition of the working class have not produced more segregation and widespread marginality, because employment opportunities and affordable housing were available in socially mixed areas. Attention, is drawn, however, to the dynamics of social polarization, the concentration of housing inequality and deprivation which have been reshaping the social map of the city since the 1990s. The suburbanization of higher social categories has been enhancing isolation of wealthy enclaves in the east and in parts of the centre. The indigenous working class population on the western periphery has become socially and spatially entrapped. At the same time a deprived and ethnically diverse population, has been concentrating in central, north-western and south-western districts. Keywords: segregation, immigration, ethnic segregation, Athens 1. INTRODUCTION: SEGREGATION IN THE INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE The definition of segregation is simple according to human geography dic- tionaries (Johnston et al., 1986: 424) and seems to have a general, inter- contextual, applicability (“The residential separation of subgroups within a wider population”). This simple metaphor from genetics, that subsequently *Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Crete, Greece. ** Professor of Social Geography, Ηarokopio University, Greece. 136 VASSILIS ARAPOGLOU, THOMAS MALOUTAS became the dominant meaning of the term, owed its success to the fact that it reflected the conditions of the booming American metropolis of the first half of the 20th century.

  • Correlation of Structural Seismic Damage with Fundamental Period of RC Buildings
    Open Journal of Civil Engineering, 2013, 3, 45-67 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ojce.2013.31006 Published Online March 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ojce) Correlation of Structural Seismic Damage with Fundamental Period of RC Buildings Anastasia K. Eleftheriadou, Athanasios I. Karabinis Laboratory of RC, Department of Civil Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace, Xanthi, Greece Email: [email protected] Received March 8, 2012; revised April 20, 2012; accepted May 5, 2012 ABSTRACT The sufficient estimation of the natural period of vibration constitutes an essential step in earthquake design and as- sessment and its role in the development of seismic damage is investigated in the current research. The fundamental period is estimated for typical reinforced concrete building types, representative of the building stock of Southern Europe, according to existing relationships. The building typologies also represent groups of 180,945 existing damaged buildings of an observational database created after the Athens (7-9-1999) near field earthquake. The estimated funda- mental periods are correlated to several degrees of the recorded damage. Important conclusions are drawn on the pa- rameters (height, structural type, etc.) that influence the seismic response and the development of damage based on the wide database. After conducting a correlation analysis, noticeable is the difference between the seismic demand of the elastic spectrum of the first (1959), the contemporary (2003) Greek Seismic Code and the values of peak ground accel- erations of several Athens earthquake records. Moreover, PGAs in most records are often between the lower and the upper bound of the estimated fundamental periods for RC buildings with regular infills (n-normal) and with ground lev- els without infill panels (p-pilotis) regardless the height.

    14 December, ATHENS: EARTHQUAKE 2000 appeal no. 22/99 situation report no. 4 (Final) period covered: September - December 1999 During this emergency, the National Society’s long experience of responding to earthquakes once again proved invaluable, as demonstrated by its quick reaction in the wake of the disaster, including search and rescue and the distribution of relief items and hot meals, and the role assigned by the Greek government to implement all relief activities. The readiness of the Hellenic Red Cross, the immediate response of the International Federation and its member National Societies, and the support from the Greek government made this operation a success. The context A strong earthquake struck the Greek capital Athens at 14:56 local time on Tuesday, 7 September 1999, measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale, lasting several seconds and bringing death, injury and destruction in its wake. The tremor was felt as far away as Corinth, 100 km south of the city and aftershocks continued for over a month after the main quake. The major impact of the earthquake was in the north-western municipalities of Athens. According to official figures, 138 people were killed, 85 individuals were rescued, 30,000 were left unemployed and 13,000 families were officially listed as the most vulnerable. The total number of people affected was 100,000. The official estimate of people left homeless is 70,000. The effects on infrastructure have been widespread: 7,746 buildings were heavily damaged (currently under demolition), 29,931 were partly damaged (currently under repair) and 36 collapsed. Several schools and four industrial plants were totally destroyed and hundreds of small businesses damaged.

A total of 431 clones were subsequently identified by barcoding using 5’-COI. A proportion of 98% of the isolates belonged to the Ectocarpales. The distribution of pairwise genetic distances revealed a K2P divergence of 1.8% as species-level cut-off. Using this threshold, the samples were ascribed to 83 different species, 39 (47%) of which were identified through reference sequences or morphology. In the Ectocarpaceae, 16 lineages of Ectocarpus fulfilled the barcode criterion for different species, while three putative new species were detected. In the Chordariaceae, numerous microthalli were microstages of known macroscopic taxa. A separate cluster contained Hecatonema maculans and other microscopic species. Taxa traditionally classified in Acinetosporaceae were split in two species-rich groups containing Pylaiella and Hincksia in one and Acinetospora in the other.

    Preliminary flood hazard and risk assessment in Western Athens metropolitan area M. Diakakis(1), M. Foumelis (2), L. Gouliotis (1), E. Lekkas(1) (1) Department of Dynamics Tectonics and Applied Geology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli-Zografou, GR 157 84, Greece, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] (2) Department of Geography, Harokopio University of Athens, Athens, GR 176 71, Greece, [email protected] Abstract The increase in urban population and the continuous pressure for cities' expansion along with the increase in urban flooding phenomena in Greece and worldwide, stress the need for enhancement of flood risk mitigation efforts. West Athens urban area, in Greece, experienced a significant population clustering since the 1950s leading, in some occasions, to a poorly-planned development, even in areas with imminent flood risk. An issue becomes apparent, taking into account the rich flooding record, the extended damages in property and infrastructure and the 76 flood victims during the last century in the area. In this work, flood hazard is assessed in 10 municipalities of West Athens, with the application of a GIS- based methodology that exploits catchment morphometric characteristics to de- lineate flood hazard zones. Historical flood events are reconstructed to provide better understanding of the flooding problem in the area. Finally flood hazard was studied in conjunction with vulnerability to estimate flood risk spatial distribution. The results showed that areas around Fleva and Eschatia torrent, especially Mpournazi, parts of Ilion and Kamatero and some parts of Peristeri presented the highest flood hazard and risk values. Additionally, moderate flood risk appeared in several mountain torrents in west parts of Petroupoli and Peristeri.

Greece, over the years, has seen many changes in its Civil Protection legislation, each of them being triggered in different time periods and for different reasons. It is important to compare these changes with the previous Laws that were implemented, to check the responsiveness to emerging needs, as well as to focus on points that are important to be clearly outlined or are maybe in need of revision. The reasons that trigger a change in the regulatory framework can vary and are usually a result of the political situation of the country, the scientific and technological advancements, the responses of country mechanisms as well as the consequences of large scale disasters, the green policies initiatives and the European Guidelines.
