Evaluation of the infrastructure development in Mediterranean Greek typical mountainous dry grassland

In the past few year on account of the one-dimensional economic development activity that destroys thoughtlessly the environment, gains ground, directly or indirectly, the notion that the development whether will be completed, that is to say simultaneously economic, social, technological and cultural, in harmony and with respect in the particular natural and cultural environment, which part of it is the man, or will not exist by no means. The following environmental resources (components) were identified: the fauna, the flora, the water capacity (water resources, water saving), the soil, the disturbance of soil and rocky lands, the landscapephysiognomy and the acoustic environment. However, the construction of a technical work can have negative impacts on the environment. These may be defined as changes of the environmental resources (natural and social), with a temporary or permanent character in respect to the time horizon within which these changes take place. The environment-friendly planning and design of a technical work must consider not only technical or economic parameters but also the effect of the construction (direct or indirect) upon the natural and social environment. This paper deals with the construction of a technical work in dry grassland, the environmental resources were identified, the impacts were evaluated and the criteria of estimating the alternative solutions were set out following the grouping of the environmental resources. The results proves that this method provides a way to evaluate the compatibility of the existing infrastructural works with the natural environment, and offers the possibility to choose the most compatible solutions for the environment in future.
