The term sustainable development indicates a policy for continued economic and social development without destroying the environment and natural resources, but instead ensures their rational viability. The Treaty on European Union is defined as “respecting the environment development”, i.e. one that “ensures the environmental viability”. Sustainable development of semi mountainous forest regions supports an increase in economic investments in order to profit the residents of region, without however having drastic negative influences on the natural environment. Green Infrastructure (GI) can be broadly defined as a strategically planned network of high quality natural and semi-natural areas with other environmental features, which is designed and managed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and protect biodiversity. The objective of this study is the specification of strategic directions for an integrated development of semi mountainous forest areas through global measures in relation to zoning policies and proposals regarding specialized production activities, according to a proper typology that characterizes the differentiation of regional problems, needs, and perspectives. The sustainable development of these areas of Greece targets regional and social cohesion in the framework of especial strategic targets. Any development plan addresses the specific development physiognomy of the region for which drawn. Particularly for vulnerable and sensitive semi mountainous forest areas, integrated development is not only necessary but also feasible. The integration capabilities of modern methods and techniques and GIS to establish the necessary infrastructure integrated measurement and qualitative information on such areas can be a very important tool for developing credible land. |
