INTRODUCTION In this report we are trying to analyse some of the impacts a major event, such as the Olympic Games, can have on new developments on the outskirts of a metropolis. Ιn this case the metropolis in question is Athens. We have mainly focused our work on the municipality of Acharnai where the Olympic Village has been built. In the first section, we will give a general overview and present the characteristics of the locations, looking first at Athens, the host city. Then we will introduce the area of Menidi and at lastly, the Olympic Village. Ιn the second part we will look at the objectives for the Olympic Games through the eyes of Athens 2004 Organizing Committee and the municipality of Acharnai. Having presented the facts, we will be able, in the third part, to analyse the correlations existing between the different factors we considered important to look at and that play an important role iπ the study area, in terms of socio economic and environmental impacts. This analysis will allow us to establish three post Olympic scenarios according to certain assumptions that need to be acknowledged. The conclusion of this work is not supposed to give an answer to the complex situation that Acharnai has to face but simply presents, on the same level, the strengths and weaknesses of this municipality and the actions we regard as necessary to undertake in order to reach a certain balance inside of the municipality. 1.2 GENERAL STATEMENT Since Antiquity, Athens is the symbol of the Olympic Games. In 1896, when the Olympic Games was re-established and modernized, Athens was selected to hold these games. Today, in 2004, the Olympics are going back to their birthplace and it is a big challenge for Greece to honour this event. 1.2.1 The Olympics are going back to their birthplace As the host country of the 2004 Olympic Games, Greece has invested a lot and expects substantial returns in the economical, financial, and social aspect as well as in the physical plan. This mega event has been a good opportunity for Greece to lead its capital city: Athens on the way to becoming an international city. According to the Review of Athens: Assessment and Recommendations (22 October 2003), Athens and its metropolitan region represent one third of the population of the country and provide about one third of the Greece's GDP. On the country scale, these observations are of major importance, however, οπ a macro economic point of view, Athens would need complete regeneration to be able to compete with other international cities such as Mexico, Montreal, or Moscow. Regarding to this emergency, the 2004 Olympic Games have been seen as the unique chance for the country to overcome the current situation in terms of transport infrastructure, public facilities, environmental issues and housing. At less than three months from the beginning of the Games; Athens is going through a dynamic process of re-structuring. One of the main investments that will have an effect in the long term may be the new transportation network. This one integrates, between others, the Kimis Highway that is the basic link between the Olympic Village (located in the municipality of Acharnai) and the Olympic Complex via the Olympic ring and, the Attica Road as a connection between Athens and Piraeus and, the new airport in Spata. 1.2.2 The municipality of Acharnai Amongst the several Olympic facilities being constructed exclusively for the games (such as stadium, swimming pool...), we will focus our work on the Olympic Village (OV), which has been built in the municipality of Acharnai. According to the economic theory of space, the identity of a place, such as Acharnai, can be defined by geographical, demographical and economic variables. Bearing this in mind, we will observe that Acharnai presents several characteristics that are important to consider when analysing the "Post Olympic era". _a) Geographical variables Acharnai is the biggest municipality in the whole Attica. Its total size is 150,000 acres from which 40,000 of these are built-up. It is located in the northern part of the metropolitan area of Athens, at the foot of the Mount Parnes The mountain bordering Acharnai is a national park protected by the European Union. (cf: appendice no1 ρ.: Basic transportation Infrastructure, 1991; this map give us a genera/ view of the location of Acharnai related to Athens and the αν related to Acharnai) _b) Demographical variables: Between 1961 and 1991, the population of this region has increased a/though at a decreasing rate. However, with a growth rate reaching 70.1 % during the decade 1961 - 1971, compared to the rest of the Attica (25.5 %) and the whole country (4.5 %), it is easy to notice the economic potential of Acharnai according to certain assumptions. Also, the community of Acharnai remains one of the most dynamic populations with 61,350 inhabitants in 1991 and 79,000 in 2001 according to the national census. Today, the legal population reaches 120,000. The population of Acharnai is highly segmented in terms of the social class, which the people belong to. At the foot of the mount Parnes, live a small proportion of very wealthy people; this area is called Thrakomakedones. (cf: appendice no 2 ρ. Socio-professional typology of housing area, 1991). In the major part of the municipality, middle class people are living. Neighbouring these, we can find seven major "camps" where people, victims of the 1999 earthquake are still living in containers. These people are very poor and continue to live in these "ghettos" where, according to them, their standard of living has been increased. These three c/asses of people we have mentioned are the 120,000 legal inhabitants of the municipality. Next to them, mainly gathered in two zones (on the western side of the αν and on the south-western part of the municipality), we can find a high concentration of gypsies. These are part of the 40,000 estimated people living illegally inside of the municipality. The area is victim of a fragmentation that prevents the different class of population from a social integration process. In order to solve this problem, the municipality should undertake a complete regeneration of the area starting by controlling this illegal growth. This is not an easy topic knowing that the population always tends to create enclaves according to their class. The main obstacle to this is the lack of financial ability, as we will see later. _c) Economic variables: It faces an important problem of unemployment (cf: appendice no3 ρ. : Unemployment level of economic active population). Due to the national situation of the labour market, the number of unemployed people is constantly growing. Add to that a substantial immigration flow of refugees from the former Soviet Union, Southern Albania or from Eastern and Middle East countries that exacerbate the crisis. Most seriously affected are women (cf: appendice no4 ρ. : proportion of women - men economic active population 1991). The municipality constitutes one of the major poles of industry and manufacturing for Attica). Although, the existing installations remain small and very poor from a technological point of view. Once more, we have noticed the high potential of this area interms of labour force. Αll these criteria, taken together, act as an obstacle to the development of the municipality. Τhe problems that the municipality has to face are major; they are linked to the lack of decision-making power, the lack of financial means, the cohabitation of totally opposite classes of people with different needs and finally, the lack of land to offer to potential investors. Taking all these observations into account, it is important not to forget the correlation that can exist between two or more factors. For example, even if the municipality were able to offer land to attract investors, would the investors be tempted to move into such a fragmented area? . Τhis fragmentation problem is a real one, because for any development project that the municipality would like to undertake, all the classes of population concerned must agree to prevent conflict. As we will see in the second part, the authorities expect a lot from the impacts that the Olympic village will have on Acharnai. Having said that, after describing the Olympic Village, we will demonstrate that this p\ace is not the main zone to look at when ta\king about the future economic expansion of Attica through Acharnai.

  • The Hadrianic Aqueduct
    Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology Rhodes, Greece, 3-5 September 2015 THE HADRIANIC AQUEDUCT CHRISTAKI M.1, STOURNARAS G.1 and NASTOS P.2 1 National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment, Department of Dynamic Tectonic Applied Geology, Panepistimiopolis Zografou, 15784, 2 National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment, Department of Geography and Climatology, Panepistimiopolis Zografou, 15784 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Since prehistoric times, the city of Athens and the wider region of Attica did not contain many natural water sources so aquatic reserves were never adequate to meet the needs of residents, as these changed through time. The construction of aqueducts was part of a more organized effort to address the water needs of the Attica basin area since prehistoric times. A key step in developing the city’s water infrastructure took place during the Roman occupation of Athens when the Hadrianic aqueduct and the Hadrianic reservoir were built. Construction began in 125 AD and was completed in 140 AD The Hadrianic was underground with natural flow requiring a small and continuous slope along the aqueduct. Wells, communicated through the aqueduct, were placed at regular intervals. The main branch of the aqueduct - the central part of the Hadrianic, consists of the main tunnel, approximately 20 Km which starts from the foot of Mount Parnitha in the Olympic Village and ends up in the reservoir of Lycabettus, exploiting the water sources of Parnitha, Penteli and the Kifissos River. Gravity collected water from the water sources in the main tunnel and there was also the contribution of smaller aqueducts along the route.

Damage maps were created for building collapsed and affected areas, built in a GIS environment. The location of the collapsed building was identified using a portable GPS resever and introduced as point thematic map in the GIS. The interferometric images show a clear deformation pattern of fringes mainly in the Thriassio Pedion basin as well as in Athens basin. Comparing the damage maps with the pattern deformation of the interferometric image in the GIS it appears that there in not a clear correlation between the amplitude of deformation and the observed damages. Other parameters seems to affect the distribution of damages the most importannt of which should be the local geological conditions and the vulnerability of the buildings . 1.

  • The Athens Earthquake (7 September 1999): Intensity Distribution and Controlling Factors
    Engineering Geology 59 (2001) 297±311 www.elsevier.nl/locate/enggeo The Athens earthquake (7 September 1999): intensity distribution and controlling factors E. Lekkas* Department of Geology, University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece Received 20 June 2000; accepted for publication 14 December 2000 Abstract The Athens earthquake, Ms 5:9, that occurred on 7th September 1999 with epicenter located at the southern ¯ank of Mount Parnitha (Greece, Attiki) according to instrumental data, is attributed to the reactivation of an ESE±WNW south- dipping fault without sur®cial expression. The earthquake caused a large number of casualties and extensive damage within an extended area. Damage displayed signi®cant differentiation from place to place, as well as a peculiar geographic distribution. Based on geological, tectonic and morphological characteristics of the affected area and on the elaboration of damage recordings for intensity evaluation, it can be safely suggested that intensity distribution was the result of the combination of a number of parameters both on macro and microscale. On the macroscale, the parameters are the strike of the seismogenic fault, seismic wave directivity effects and to an old NNE±SSW tectonic structure, and they are also responsible for the maximum intensity arrangement in two perpendicular directions ESE±WNW and NNE±SSW. On the microscale, site foundation formations, old tectonic structures buried under recent formations and morphology are the parameters that differentiated intensities within the affected area. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

    Natural Hazards 27: 61–84, 2002. 61 © 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. The Fault that Caused the Athens September 1999 Ms = 5.9 Earthquake: Field Observations S. B. PAVLIDES1, G. PAPADOPOULOS2 and A. GANAS2 1Department of Geology, University of Thessaloniki, 54006, Greece E-mail: [email protected]; 2Geodynamics Institute, National Observatory of Athens, PO Box 20048, 11810 Athens, Greece Received: 18 October 2000; accepted in revised form: 5 November 2001 Abstract. On 7 September 1999 the Athens Metropolitan area (Greece) was hit by a moderate size (Ms = 5.9) earthquake. The severely damaged area is localized in the northwestern suburbs of the ◦ ◦ city, at the foothills of Mt. Parnitha (38.1 N, 23.6 E), about 18 km from the historic centre of Athens. In this paper, we present our results on the surface expression of the seismogenic structure. Methods applied were: field observations, geological mapping, fault geometry and kinematics, evaluation of macroseismic data, interpretation of LANDSAT images, construction of a DEM and application of shading techniques. Aftershock distribution and fault plane solutions were also considered. Our results suggest that the earthquake source is located within the NW-SE trending valley bearing a few outcrops of Neogene- Quaternary sediments across the south foothills of Mt. Parnitha, never known in the past to have been activated by such strong earthquakes. The earthquake occurred along ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ a 10 km long normal fault, striking N110 –133 and dipping 64 –85 SW, extending from the Fili Fort (4th century BC) in the NNW to the Fili town and then to Ano Liossia, to the SSE.
