© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
Greece is a country rich in thermal springs, the majority of which -due to tectonic reasons etc- is located along the coastal zone. The presence of thermal springs in this specific part of the Greek territory has contributed -in the passing of time- not only to the growth of spa tourism, but also to the urbanization of those areas.

Hunting management and hunting-related values
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
Aim of the present analysis is to show how the attitude towards hunting management depends on hunting-related values. 237 standardized questionnaires have been distributed to hunters of Northern Hellas (Macedonia and Thrace) and the data were processed through Pearson test after normality test. Contrary to the hunters who regard hunting merely as a “sport”, these who regard it as a “life way” support long-term, more “eco-centric” and sustainable solutions like habitat improvement and predator control (and not, for example, release of quarries).
