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.

  • “Quality Systems and Practices in Agro-Ecotourism Enterprises in Rural Trans - Border Regions”
    Dr. Electra Pitoska1 “Quality systems and practices in agro-ecotourism enterprises in rural trans - border regions”. Tourism comprises a self- contained phenomenon synonymous to consumption and spare time and its growth. Due to the development of technology and the improvement of the standards of living it has taken global dimensions. As a result tourism has developed into a pure industry, leading the economy and society in local, regional, national and global level towards important changes. Based on the quality and the value of the natural and cultural heritage, as well as on the growth of the level of the given services, tourism developed several alternative types. An alternative type of tourism is agro-ecotourism, which went through an enormous rise and demand. The change of consumer’s behavior and tourist’s consideration of the environment has led organizations that take actions in that sector, into the adoption of high level of standards in all aspects of the generative procedure. The main reason for this continual improvement of the service level and the quality of the given services, as well as the clamp-down for the protection of the environment, was the reason that sustainable tourist growth became a strategic aim. The quality and the practices that ensure sustainability are a continuous procedure which is accomplished by the implementation of quality systems, aiming to achieve the Total Quality. Companies that comply with the specific standards receive quality marks, which conform to this kind of favor that will remain to the consumer’s consciousness. In that perspective, the aim of the research was to examine whether agro-ecotouristic enterprises are certified for the given services, for the protection of the consumers/ tourists, as well as for the protection of the environment.

  • Kozani, Western Macedonia, Greece
    Kozani, Western Macedonia, Greece Kozani is a municipality in the Region of Western Macedonia. The city is the commercial and scientific center of Western Macedonia with a vibrant life and a variety of cultural and social events. The city's location makes it a transport hub that connects Macedonia with Epirus through Egnatia Highway, while Albania and North Macedonia to the North and the Region of Thessaly to the South are also very well connected. Kozani offers an interesting combination of rich local folklore tradition – preserved by the local population – with modern infrastructure. The city of Kozani, which is the capital of the Region of Western Macedonia, is situated in the northern part of Aliakmonas River valley. The city lies 710 meters above sea level and has a continental climate, with hot summers and quite cold and long winter periods. The Regional Unit of Kozani is among the most prosperous areas of the Greek province, due to its lignite deposits and the related mining and power production activities; at its peak, the area produced approximately 70% of the total national electric power, being thus known as the “Heart of Energy” for the country! However, the operation of the mines and plants has caused severe environmental impact due to the ground, water and air pollution, resulting from the mining and thermal power activities in the area. Kozani is also well known for the production of its high quality Saffron, which is one of the most popular and valuable spices of the ancient cultures for its smell, color, medical and aphrodisiac properties.

  • Factors Determining the Sustainable Management of Local Resources of Growth Regarding Mountainous Regions; the Case of Nymfaio Florinas
    Kalfas-Tyrselis, 153-168 Factors determining the sustainable management of local resources of growth regarding mountainous regions; the case of Nymfaio Florinas Kalfas G. Dimitrios MSc Forester - Environmentalist Florina Greece, Kontopoulou 45 [email protected] Tyrselis S. Xenofontas Translator Florina Greece, Kontopoulou 54 [email protected] Abstract The purpose of the present essay is to identify and assess the main factors determining the attractiveness of local resources development in mountain areas. The long-term planning for the gentle development of an abandoned mountain village, and possibly the need for additional institutional measures must be taken into account in order to achieve the over time substantial improvement in the region. The identification and assessment of factors affecting the sustainable management is achieved through a primary survey for measuring the dimensions of sustainable development in the village of Nymfaio region, such as the economic, social and environmental sustainability. According to these directions, the community of Nymfaio, situated in the Prefecture of Florina, is recommended and analyzed as an example within the framework of management of mountainous areas. The globalization of the financial activity challenges the adaptability of regional economies and the ability to make the most of, or at least to maintain their comparative advantages. Despite the effort, as far as political selections are concerned, the gap between the regions becomes larger and the costs for the maintenance of their cohesion are rising. In the meantime, technological changes, wide markets and an increasing demand for knowledge, offer new opportunities for a local and regional development in general. However, human resources remain the main factor for the improvement and also for the promotion of the local environment.
