    Zagreb International Review of Economics & Business, Vol. 12, No. 1, pp. 19-38, 2009 © 2009 Economics Faculty Zagreb All rights reserved. Printed in Croatia ISSN 1331-5609; UDC: 33+65 Urban Dipoles in Greece: Economic Development Opportunities for Larissa-Volos Dipole in Thessaly Region Theodore Metaxas* Abstract: The article attempts to illustrate the significance of the existence of co-operation and in tandem development of an urban dipole, as well as the impact of such a dipole development on each of the two cities and on the greater region they belong. For this reason, the article focuses on a specific case of two medium size cities in Greece, Larissa and Volos, which activate in the same region by taking development actions complementary to one another. The aim of the article is to define the prospects for economic development of this dipole and examine its dynamic in relation to other cities in Greece, by using original data derived by a recent empirical research conducted among foreign firms of the region which have established in the dipole area the last 15 years. Keywords: urban dipoles, economic development, Greece JEL Classification: R11, R12, R13 Introduction Cities are the most dynamic centres of economic transformations in a global level (Harris 1997). The main argument arises through the analysis of the international practice is that regional competitiveness / attractiveness presupposes the economic development and vigorousness of the regions main cities (Cheshire and Gordon 1998; Cuadrado-Roura and Rubalcaba- Bermejo, 1998; Cuadrado-Roura, 2001). This conclusion is harmonized with the basic principles for the competition between cities, as they referred in the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP, 1999).

  • TECTONIC GEOMORPHOLOGY of ESCARPMENTS: the CASES of KOMPOTADES and ΝΕΑ ANCHIALOS FAULTS Zovoili E., Konstantinidi E
    Δελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας τομ. XXXVI, 2004 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece vol. XXXVI, 2004 Πρακτικά 10°" Διεθνούς Συνεδρίου, Θεσ/νίκη Απρίλιος 2004 Proceedings of the 10lh International Congress, Thessaloniki, April 2004 TECTONIC GEOMORPHOLOGY OF ESCARPMENTS: THE CASES OF KOMPOTADES AND ΝΕΑ ANCHIALOS FAULTS Zovoili E., Konstantinidi E. and Koukouvelas I.K. Department of Geology, Division of Physical Marine Geology and Geodynamics, University of Patras, 26500 Patras, Greece, [email protected] ABSTRACT Most active processes on the surface imply that tectonics and geomorphology converge in a way that landscape change may be used as a tectonic signal, given that erosion and weathering have been taken into account. We selected two faults, the Kompotades and the Nea Anchialos faults in the Sperchios and South Thessaly rift zones respectively, and we performed a morphometric analysis. This analysis comprises geomorphic indices that have been used successfully in studies of active tectonics, as the mountain front sinuosity index (Smf), stream gradient index (SL) and valley floor width to valley height ratio (Vf). At both studied mountain fronts, the Vf index ranged between 0,4 to 1,2, implying high uplift rates, while the Smf «1 index revealed relatively high tectonic activity, which decreases towards the west. On the other hand, the SL index though more sensitive to non-tectonic processes, (i.e. the rock resistance, stream length) is less indicative of tectonic activity. Based on the distribution of the geomorphic indices a two-fault strand model is suggested forming the mountain front in the two examples with the range-ward fault strand to be more appropriate for Kompotades fault and the basinward fault strand for Nea Anchialos fault.

  • 20 Top Things to Do in Pelion
    20 Top Things to Do in Pelion https://travelgreecetraveleurope.com/2017/01/31/top-things-to-do-in-pelion/ 1) Damouhari Port: Mama Mia Filmed Here The traffic-free coast of Damouhari has a more recent claim to fame as the location of the “Dancing Queen” scene in the Hollywood movie Mama Mia (2008) starring Meryl Streep. After our hike through Tsagarada we walked through the scenic port. I loved taking in the stunning rocky landscape, which seemed to be both wild and stunning at the same time. Damouhari Port, Pelion, to the right. Meryl Streep was here! 2) The Pelion Train The Pelion Train, also known as the Little Train of Pelion, is a narrow gauge (60 cm) train that seemed to me like a toy train with its maintained vintage look. It’s even parked in a colorful little train station. The train began operating more than a century ago between Volos and Lehonia in 1895 and between Lehonia and Milies in 1903. It covers 29 kilometers, on tracks that run through verdant forests and across 12 bridges. Tip: Return tickets are 18€ for adults and 10€ for kids. Further information for tickets, timetables, contact the Travel Office of Volos TRAINOSE +30 24210 39723. 3) Taksiarchon Church / Church of the Archangels I rate a visit to this church as one of the top things to do in Pelion because the stunning interior frescoes took me off guard. Located in the main square of Millies, the actual construction date of the church is unknown. However, it was renovated in 1741.
