Collective work for the integrated development of Souli (original) (raw)

Abstract

The recent multidimensional crisis especially in countries like Greece demanded the need for new development approaches that respond to actual needs and describe the way for the creative use of the particular characteristics of each natural and socio-economic reality. The need for such planning approaches becomes more intense in mountainous areas which remained to a large extent outside development strategies. Integrated approach, interdisciplinarity and education can be key features of these new approaches. In this context within the course “Introduction to Environment and Development Science” of the interdisciplinary postgraduate program “Environment and Development” at the National Technical University of Athens, the students conduct development researches for different regions in Greece using the methodology of WID (Worthliving Integrated Development). During the academic year of 2014-2015, an interdisciplinary workgroup of students of various disciplines conducted a development research for the mountainous municipality of Souli based on the methodology of Worthliving Integrated Development. This paper presents the methodological steps followed in the educational process in order to highlight to the general public the systematic methodology of integrated development as well as its developmental results for the region of Souli.
