    Urban Transcripts IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WITH THE SUPPORT OF The city as a laboratory On the Sea Edge An International Urban Design Workshop 29 August - 4 September 2016 Chania, Crete, Greece Exploring Chania as an urban laboratory on the sea edge the workshop brings into focus a number of issues common to medium-scale coastal cities in Greece, the Mediterranean, and beyond: abandoned places and urban voids, disputed edges where the ground dips into the sea, sites of remembered his- tories and forgotten stories, contested interfaces where the public meets the private, hybrid spaces where the physical merges with the digital, urban disorders regulated into grids and zones, local com- munities transforming within an international tourist market. At times clearly delineated, at others blurry, and always in flux,it is the edge that is this workshop’s primary matter: the edge between abandonment and occupation, memory and oblivion, public and private, physical and digital, land and sea, spontaneity and regulation, community and market. Making use of design and policy tools for shaping and managing space the workshop aims at a series of urban design proposals for specific sites in the city where these phenomena are most strongly manifested. The selected sites in each of the 7 units of the workshop thus function as a lens through which an exploration of broader issues can be embarked upon and brought to a productive design-oriented con- clusion. On the Sea Edge immerses participants into an intensive 7-day programme consisting of design studio teamwork, fieldwork research, and lectures, complemented with parallel public and social events.

Koniditsiotis Stavros Msc of Cultural Policy and Development, Open University of Cyprus, Cyprus ABSTRACT The history oF the olive tree, its cultivation and its products is known For centuries. Some olive tree have survived over millennia and their history dates back to antiquity. In many cases, it is related to mythology and religion. The olive tree is associated with Folk tradition, people's everyday liFe, and customs. In Greece, monumental olive trees are found in the Peloponnese, Crete, Euboea, Chios, Pelion and Attica. This paper explores and describes the particular morphological Features such as shape, size, wood, cavities and age, as well as the cultural characteristics such as historical or religious events, myths and traditions that deFine an olive tree and characterize it as monumental. The main aim oF our research is to examine the key position that monumental olive trees and their materialistic and symbolic maniFestations consist a natural and cultural heritage as well. In this framework the study focuses on various key issues related to monumental olives trees and their natural, historical, social and cultural value. Keywords: Monumental Olive Trees, Nature conservation monuments, Natural sites, Greek monumental Olive Trees, Cultural heritage of olive Trees. 1. INTRODUCTION The present study is a part of a wider research on the value of the natural heritage and specially on ancient olives trees as natural monuments and cultural heritage of all Mediterranean regions.

  • Entering the European Market for Olive Oil
    Entering the European market for olive oil Last updated: 08 October 2020 New olive oil exporters that want to enter the European market need to put their products through regular laboratory and sensory tests. You may have a competitive advantage if you can offer olive oil with superior sensory characteristics, related to specific production areas, certified organic or backed by good storytelling marketing. The strongest competitors to new olive oil suppliers are currently in Spain, Italy, Greece and Tunisia. As most olive oil is sold in the retail segment, characteristics like freshness, health claims and bottle design are important to European buyers. Contents of this page 1. What requirements must olive oil comply with to be allowed on the European market? 2. Through what channels can you get olive oil on the European market? 3. Which countries are you competing with? 4. What are the prices for olive oil on the European market? 1. What requirements must olive oil comply with to be allowed on the European market? What are mandatory requirements? All food products sold in the European Union must be tested for safety, including olive oil and any imported products. Testing for safety includes, for example, complying with established maximum levels for harmful contaminants, such as pesticide residues and heavy metals. In the case of olive oil, in addition, product composition is of utmost importance, because olive oil must meet specific requirements related to acidity, content of specific chemicals and sensory characteristics. The product label should also make it obvious for consumers what type of olive oil it is.

  • 82 Possibilities of Creating Zero CO2 Emissions Industrial Plants Due to Energy Use in Crete, Greece
    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development Online ISSN: 2349-4182, Print ISSN: 2349-5979, Impact Factor: RJIF 5.72 www.allsubjectjournal.com Volume 4; Issue 4; April 2017; Page No. 82-86 Possibilities of creating zero CO2 emissions industrial plants due to energy use in Crete, Greece John Vourdoubas Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Engineering, Technological Educational Institute of Crete, 3 Romanou str., Chania, Crete, Greece Abstract Although the reduction of CO2 emissions due to energy use in industries is of paramount importance, there are not many successful examples of zero CO2 emissions industries so far. The possibility of creating zero CO2 emissions industries due to heat and electricity use in Crete, Greece has been investigated. Energy consumption and CO2 emissions in five small-size industries have been estimated. It has been indicated that the use of locally available renewable energy sources like solar energy and solid biomass could cover all the heat and electricity needs in those five industries zeroing their CO2 emissions. Solar-PV energy with the net- metering initiative could be used in order to offset annually the grid electricity use. Olive kernel wood is a low-cost renewable fuel which already is widely used in Crete for heat generation. Its use could replace the use of oil for industrial heating. The solar-PV investment in those plants is economically viable due to the current low cost of these energy systems. Therefore the use of renewable energy technologies in those industries could cover all their heating and power needs, zeroing their carbon emissions.

  • Openvpn Option for Cases Where the Network IP Is Dynamic
    THE CHANIA (CRETE) URBAN STRONG GROUND MOTION NETWORK. FIRST RESULTS Georgios CHATZOPOULOS1, Maria KOULI2, Ilias PAPADOPOULOS3, Filippos VALLIANATOS4 ABSTRACT Crete Island (Greece), located in the front of the Hellenic subduction zone, is in continuous need of seismic monitoring. Aiming to increase seismic readiness and provide more knowledge-information to citizens and civil protection authorities, the Hellenic Seismological Network of Crete (HSNC) started operating a permanent strong ground motion (SGM) network in the urban environment of Chania and its southern basin. In the test period 2015- 2017, one of the intentions was to investigate the seismic amplification in the Chania basin which covers the contemporary part of the city, the old Venetian town and the fast-developing southern basin. The network is equipped with sensors as that of Trimble’s Reftek 130 along with the Satways’ GSense 16bit ones aiming to build a dense network with increased spatial resolution in the monitoring area. Analysis of the strong motion data enables us to calculate the peak ground acceleration and present it in GIS maps. Different interpolation techniques have been tested. The results support the importance of use of low cost Urban SGM sensors to enhance civil protection activities. In the present work, we provide a presentation of the SGM network topology. Having finalized most of the station installations, we performed spectral ratio H/V and (HVSRE) RF measurements to provide supplementary information for the local site conditions, in station locations. Keywords: Strong ground motion network, PGA, H/V, RF 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Motivation and development of SGM network The city of Chania (Crete, Greece) is an area with an attractive natural environment along with plenty cultural monuments.
