  • A Tool for Study of Urban Greenery
    E. Batala & T. Tsitsoni, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 4, No. 4 (2009) 345–356 STREET TREE HEALTH ASSESSMENT SYSTEM: A TOOL FOR STUDY OF URBAN GREENERY E. BATALA & T. TSITSONI Faculty of Forestry and Natural Environment, Laboratory of Silviculture, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece. ABSTRACT This study deals with the recording of tree health and the evaluation of the greenery ratio, with a view to increase it, in three representative street trees in Thessaloniki city, North Greece. The three street trees are representative because of the species composition and the health of the trees on one hand and the flow of traffic on the other hand. The three street trees investigated in this study are located along three central roads of Thessaloniki city, namely Nikis Avenue, Egnatia Street and Karamanli Avenue. The study also includes the formulation of proposals in order to make some improvement in the choice of suitable species so as to increase the amount of greenery in the city. The results show that the most important problems related to tree health in the three streets are the leaves being attacked by insects and fungi as well as dry and broken branches of the crown. The majority of trees have moderate health. The greenery ratio in the three street trees is evaluated by the greenery’s surface and volume indicators, which are calculated depending not only on the number of trees but also on the surface and volume of their crowns. Finally, a linear model for the greenery’s volume indicator is estimated which depends on tree height, crown length and crown projection on the ground.

  • Thessaloniki Property Market
    THESSALONIKI PROPERTY MARKET 2nd Semester 2018 Economic Overview According to official statistics provided by the Hellenic Statistical Authority (HSA) for the 2nd quarter of 2018, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in volume terms recorded a decrease compared to the 1st quarter of 2018. Graph: Gross Domestic Product in 2009-2018 volume terms. Data with seasonal and calendar adjustments (Year of reference: 2010). Variations quarterly and annually Source: ELSTAT According to the quarterly report (January 2019) of the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE) for the Greek economy, the economic sentiment indicator in the 3rd quarter of 2018 moves at increased levels compared to the previous quarter, at a level of 2,2%, while it has improved compared to the corresponding specified period of last year’s. The improvement of the economy in key economic sectors is in line with the continuous and slightly gradual economic recovery that is currently been recorded. The economic improvement is mainly attributed to the small increase of investments at a level of 1,5% and to the decrease in the deficit of the balance sheet in the external sector. The improvement in expectations in businesses is also attributed to the improved international environment which favors exporting businesses and other industries that are involved in the particular economic sector. Despite the fact that there was no significant adverse development in the last quarter, the uncertainty remains at some degree due to other issues apart from economic such as issues of internal and external policies. The economic sentiment indicator for Greece records a decrease in the October-December 2018 quarter compared to the 2nd quarter of the same year.
