Deliverable D2 Current Situation Analysis GREen Transport in Island Areas – GRETIA Deliverable D2: Current Situation Analysis Το έργο υλοποιείται στο πλαίσιο του Επιχειρησιακού Προγράμματος: «Εκπαίδευση και Δια Βίου Μάθηση» και συγχρηματοδοτείται από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση (Ευρωπαικό κοινωνικό ταμείο – ΕΚΤ) και από εθνικούς πόρους. The project is funded in the framework of the Operational Programme “Education and Life-Long Learning” and is co-funded by the European Union (European Cohesion Fund – ECF) and national funds. Chios, July 2012 Deliverable 2: Current Situation Analysis ` EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Green development is heavily dependent on transportation through the strong seasonality of transportation demand by residents and tourists exacerbating the impact of traffic on congestion, noise and pollution. This project creates a comprehensive green transport policy, research and development action plan for Aegean island areas, accounting for the unique characteristics and growth prospects of the area in its multiple dimensions. Thi sreport presents the current situation analysis. Initially the evolution of the air pollution modeling is reviewed. These models are classified into groups according to their physical or mathematical principles and their level of complexity. Furthermore air quality (photochemical models) and dispersion models are presented, with their input requirements and the decision support systems that each of them uses. The section ends with the further research needs on the topic, such as evaluation of hot spot air quality models or the development of emissions models. The next task is intended to review best practices and policies implemented internationally for the promotion of green transport alternatives, as well as to identify those policies that will fit better the needs and particularities of island areas. Best practices of eight European cities that portray best practice in terms of continuous and integral transport policy, modal split for all journeys, especially bicycle mode share, and car free initiatives are presented. In addition, the current situation regarding the transportation system of the study area is analyzed (including available infrastructure, supplied services, road network flaws and flows, particularities of the islands etc.). There is also an extended literature review on the subject and some conclusions regarding the experience to date with activity-based models in practice. Following the transportation literature and best practices review along with the situation analysis in the islands, is the environmental practices analysis. The section starts with a review of sustainability issues in the transport literature, and continues with the review of sustainable transport policies. It then covers sustainability indicators (such as the ecological footprint) and presents case studies including ecological footprint analysis. Finally it recaps the findings of the literature review and presents recommendations for the rest of the project The report continues with the tourism section, comparing the complex tourist activity with the transport activity, based on the fact that both are activities involving mobility. The difficulty of distinguishing what comes first between these two and how these two interact is a subject of the present report. The report is concerned with the Greek geographical and transport peculiarities that directly affect the tourism of the country and the study areas. Tourist activities and the ideas of sustainable tourism are presented. Finally some green tourist certificates are being examined with their drawbacks being pointed out. The last section of the report concentrates on the consultation process which includes interviews with the key decision makers to identify the factors influencing the promotion and the development of green initiatives in the islands, and with the stakeholders of tourism industry and local government officials to record their views on the project scope and the islands particularities. The task aims to depict in detail all attributes i | P a g e Deliverable 2: Current Situation Analysis ` composing the modern internal and external business environment of the North Aegean islands. ii | P a g e Deliverable 2: Current Situation Analysis ` Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ............................................................................................................ i 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Scope and Objectives ..................................................................................... 1 1.2 Project’s Tasks ............................................................................................... 1 1.3 Scope of the Project ....................................................................................... 2 2 ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES – MODELING OF MOBILE SOURCE ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION .................................................................................................. 3 2.1 Introduction ..................................................................................................... 3 2.2 Air pollution modeling evolution ...................................................................... 4 2.3 Model Classifications ...................................................................................... 6 2.3.1 Steady-state and non steady-state models (EPA, 2004): ...................................... 6 2.3.2 Screening and Refined Analysis Models (EPA, 2004): ........................................... 7 2.3.3 Numerical and Statistical Models (Zanneti, 1990;

In the 40 additionalRecent not really occur on present paper species (to- and tal now 63) are mentioned; Carychium minimum Chondrula werneri are new for Greece.

Key words: Non-marine molluscs, faunistics, Greece, Aegean islands, Lesbos. Die Insel Lesbos = ist mit einer Oberfläche 1630 nordostägäische ( Mytilini) von 2 km die drittgrösste Insel Griechenlands und zwar nach Kreta und Euböa. Die Ein- wohnerzahl beträgt 120.000; die Bewohner beschäftigen sich mit der Landwirtschaft und hierbei hauptsächlich mit Oliven. Durch die ausgedehnten Olivenhaine ist die In- sel (mit Ausnahme ihres vulkanischen Westteils) überwiegend mit Bäumen bedeckt; dazu kommen auch dichte Fichtenwälder. Das Klima ist mild; angeblich scheint die Sonne hier mehr als irgendwo sonst in Griechenland. In der Vergangenheit war Lesbos geologisch ausserordentlich unruhig, und dadurch entstand eine Verschiedenheit Geländeformationen. Die höchsten grosse von Berge sind Lepetymnus (968 m) und Olymbos (967 m). Lesbos ist 12-15 km von der Türkei entfernt; 9.000 Jahre vor Christus war die heutige Insel noch mit der Türkei verbun- den (Van Andel & Shackleton, 1982: Fig. 3). Die Molluskenfauna der Insel ist schlecht erforscht. Angaben stammen von De Charpentier (1852), Albers (1857), AJ.

This study resumes the published data both on the palaeovegetation of the Petrified Forest and the palaeogeography of Lesbos Island during the Neogene. The new palaeobotanical study with more than seventy new samples of fossilized wood from the broader area of Polichnitos region gives new information about the palaeobotanical and palaeontological content of this area. It is reported for the first time here the existence of a diversified fossil wood assemblage from the southern part of the Island as long as the identification of three types of lauraceous wood according to their idioblasts characteristics.

  • Trip Report Lesvos 12-19 June 2005
    Trip Report Lesvos 12-19 June 2005 My family. Preface I travelled with my family, wife Natalia and children Alexander 13 and Nina, 10, from Copenhagen airport with Solresor on a combined vacation and birding trip. We stayed at the very calm and well situated hotel Panorama at the northern part of village Petra. When staying at this hotel it is recommended to have a room in the more higher situated cottages with beautiful views over Petra. We rented a 5-door Fiat Punto with AC in advance at https://www.economycarrentals.com. I used the Freytag & Berndt 1:75 000 map over Lesvos, but found on Lesvos the possibly better Lesbos Road Edition 212 1:70 000. Essential in the preparation of the trip was the excellent Birding on the Greek Island of Lesvos by Richard Brooks with plenty of very useful maps. The weather was sunny all days with just light skies in one morning. Temperatures ranged from just above 20 degrees early in the mornings to just below 30 in the afternoons. In all 78 species of birds were seen. 2 Itinerary Sunday 12 June Picked up the car at the airport at 12 hrs and drove to Petra. Crested Larks and Collared Doves were among the first species outside Mytilini. Made a very short stop near the salt pans at Kalloni. Arrived at Petra at 13 hrs. Paid a visit to the Petra reservoir in the evening.
