AIR QUALITY PROGNOSIS USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS MODELING IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT OF VOLOS, CENTRAL GREECE
(2014)It is well known that natural and anthropogenic emissions of ambient pollutants affect air quality and as a consequence the public health. Various epidemiological studies have identified particulate matter (PM10) and surface ... -
AMBIENT PM10 CONCENTRATIONS AND THE IMPACT OF WIND AT AN URBAN SITE IN CENTRAL GREECE
(2012)The goal of this work is the analysis of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 mu m (PM10) recorded in the urban area of Volos, a medium-sized Greek coastal city on the eastern seaboard of Central Greece. ... -
ASSESSMENT OF SURFACE OZONE VARIABILITY IN AN URBAN COASTAL AREA AT THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN
(2013)The surface ozone is a pollutant of major concern due to its impact on receptors, at currently occurring ambient levels in many regions of the world. The aim of this work is to present the results derived from an analysis ... -
Bicyclists' braking profile on typical urban road pavements
(2011)This study examines the bicyclists' braking profile on four typical pavement types in the urban road environment: asphalt, concrete plate, concrete bricks and thermoplastic material. The experiment took place in the city ... -
Cultural clusters in the post-industrial city: The Greek experience
(2007)This paper is concerned with cultural economies in the post-industrial city and examines the phenomenon of cultural and leisure clusters in Greek cities. In the first part, the paper discusses the key-role of cultural ... -
EFFECT OF SURFACE OZONE EXPOSURE ON VEGETATION IN THE GREATER AREA OF VOLOS, GREECE
(2012)The critical level of air pollutants in the atmosphere is the concentration above which adverse effects occur on sensitive receptors, such as plants and ecosystems. Ozone is the most important air pollutant in Europe ... -
Estimates of covid-19 risk factors among social strata and predictors for a vulnerability to the infection
(2021)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a potentially severe disease, especially for individuals presenting with certain underlying medical conditions. We analyzed the rates of comorbidities and symptoms to ... -
Estimating remobilization of potentially toxic elements in soil and road dust of an industrialized urban environment
(2022)The mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is of paramount concern in urban settings, particularly those affected by industrial activities. Here, contaminated soils and road dusts of the medium-size, industrialized ... -
Evaluating demand management aspects of urban water policy. The city of Volos case, Greece
(2004)This paper examines the perspectives of the implementation of a demand-oriented policy concerning residential water use, which covers almost 70% of urban water. Water demand, water pricing policy, as well as building ... -
Evaluation of the bikeability of a Greek city: Case study "City of Volos"
(2009)Driving a bike in a Greek city is not an easy case. There are no bicycle facilities available and the bicyclists and the car drivers are not used to each other in mixed traffic situations. The primary goal of the study was ... -
Evaluation of the pedestrian infrastructure using walkability indicators
(2011)The promotion of pedestrian safety, mobility and convenience is an important step to raise sustainable mobility in urban areas. This study presents the development and implementation of indicators that evaluate pedestrian ... -
Flood inundation mapping sensitivity to riverine spatial resolution and modelling approach
(2016)An innovative approach in the investigation of complex landscapes for hydraulic modelling applications is the use of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) that can lead to a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM). Another ... -
Full cost recovery in the urban residential sector according to the Water Framework Directive
(2012)Full cost recovery is a major and complex issue that has gained high recognition in recent years. The Water Framework Directive promotes the idea that water charging should act as an incentive for the sustainable use of ... -
Grading methodology of the pedestrian urban road environment
(2011)The improvement of pedestrian safety, mobility and convenience is an important step for the promotion of sustainable mobility in urban areas. This study presents the grading process and walkability score of the pedestrian ... -
