resource-use quotas, emission standards, transport regulations, etc should be adopted
for that zone.
The wider zone of influence, extends up to the municipal borders, which
influences in part directly or indirectly the other two zones and serves as buffer zone
between the inland and the coast.
The inland mountainous area where the development pressure is not so
intense.
During the next stage all the critical factors affecting the development of the
island are charted. The charting methodology is composed of three additional
individuals thematic entities.
The second thematic entity demands that all the economic activities will be
charted so as every one is to be represented by a different coverage for the entire
surface of the island. The database for each activity will include quantitative
information about the past and present state of each polygon regarding the particular
activity. Some fields of the database will be devoted to the synergy, antagonism and
conflict that the particular activity shows against all the other economic activities. The
activities that will be charted are agricultural, stock breeding, various form of industry,
tourism development, marble extraction, oil extraction etc. The use of ArcInfo union
command (Overlay module) will form one final coverage including all partial
information described above. The result will be the disecting of the island’s surface
into polygons with identical economic characteristics.
In the third entity terrain and landscape natural or man-made characteristics
will be charted. Each characteristic will be charted resulting in the formation of a
unique coverage. The database will include spatial quantitative information about each
characteristic together with information about the compatibility of each category of the
particular characteristic for all possible forms of economic development (e.g. tourism).
At this point it must be mentioned that linear and point terrain characteristics (e.g.road
network, springs) will be transformed to polygons using buffer of influence. The items
that will be included to this unity are road network, hydrographical network, water
springs, slopes, underground water deposit, actual and potential natural vegetation,
sites of high cultural, historical or ecological significance, zone(s) under special
legislative or protection status, landfills, etc. The use of the ArcInfo union command
(Overlay module) will form one final coverage including all partial information
described above. The result will be the chopping of island’s surface to polygons with
identical terrain and landscape natural or man-made characteristics to their entirety.
The fourth entity will include spatial quantitative and statistical information
(including urban data) for each administrative division. For each administrative
division (or for each polygon that is formed by the boundaries of the settlements if
there are available and sufficient data) SDIs will be included in the database. The
database will include pressure, state and response indicators in the fields of society,
economy, environment and institution. The indicators will be fully compatible with the
equivalent chapters of Agenda 21 (for example: The equivalent chapter for the
category environment, subcategory water, is the chapter 17 (Protection of the oceans,
all kinds of seas and coastal areas) of Agenda 21).
