The spatial footprint of short-term rental on islands
Greece is a country with numerous islands, which on the one hand have a unique landscape and, on the other hand, experience intense tourist development. The spatial planning incompetence, combined with the pressures brought about by tourism development, leads to built-up area dispersion and land use changes and conflicts. In this paper, short-term rental is examined, which, despite having a strong spatial footprint, is developing outside the fram…
Spatial planning in Greece
The examination of spatial planning in Greece entails a comprehensive analysis of its historical development, contemporary challenges, and prospective trajectories. This investigation delves into the nuanced aspects of the development of the planning framework, elucidates the existing challenges and offers informed perspectives on potential answers and future directions. By presenting a critical overview of spatial planning development in twentie…
Dealing with complexity
Rapid socio-economic changes across Europe necessitate re-examining the principles of spatial organisation. Due to its limited flexibility, spatial planning struggles to address growing complexity, highlighting the need for revised frameworks that integrate innovative, multidimensional approaches. This review examines how planning can respond to future challenges, identifying pressures on traditional methods and exploring ways to preserve values …
Marine spatial planning in Greece
Marine spatial planning in Greece has only recently been put on the public policy agenda, although it was formally adopted in 2018. The paper overviews critical aspects of marine spatial planning in Greece focusing on the drafting of the first Marine Spatial Framework (MSF) for the North Aegean Marine Spatial Unit (MSU1). We elaborate on the methodology followed for drafting the MSF for MSU1 and present key elements of its fields of action, spati…
A framework for developing flexible green business parks in the large Greek islands
This work is a practice review that explores the advantages deriving from the establishment of green business parks (BPs) on islands and the centralization of the production process within flexible green business parks on islands. It explores the sustainability of island green BPs, in particular the indicators that ensure the flexibility and industrial foresight of island green BPs. With reference to international experience, but also through the…
Sustainable industrial transformation in Greece
This paper examines the phenomenon of informal industrial concentrations (IICs) in Greece with a focus on the Oinofyta IIC. By integrating classical theories of industrial location with contemporary sustainability and circular economy concepts, we investigate why the IIC developed in its current location, analyze its defining characteristics, and assess the feasibility of transforming it into a remediation business park (RBP). A comprehensive set…
Organizing industrial growth
This paper explores the evolution and challenges of industrial development in Greece, focusing on business parks as spatial planning tools. It examines how geopolitical constraints, delayed industrialization, and fragmented planning have shaped the country’s industrial landscape. It also addresses the question of why organized industrial development has failed to materialize effectively even with supportive policy frameworks and planning tools, a…
Landscape as Connecting Link of Nature and Culture
The research paper investigates the diverse understandings of “landscape”, along with demonstrating the modes of contribution of the European Landscape Convention (ELC) of the Council of Europe (CE) in influencing national spatial planning systems. The paper, interested in considering the efficiency of landscape policy from a territorial perspective, briefly outlines the perception and understanding of landscape as connecting link of nature and c…
Unregulated urban sprawl and spatial distribution of fire events
Fire events are an annual phenomenon in Greece with damages and even casualties, making their understanding and management important. In this paper, we present fire events provided by NASA Fire Information for Resource Management System and place them along a number of spatial types defined by relief and land cover classes. Results demonstrate that the occurrence of fire events is related more to some land cover classes than others. The most impo…
