Abstract: Urbanization has brought city dwellers under stress; resulting in the renewal and development of open spaces to create urban green areas or remodeling existing ones; gives a breath of renewal in the wider area of an urban area. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the appropriateness’ of using handheld GPS for mapping urban green for developing regeneration proposals. Two different types of GPS and various topographic methods were used for comparing the results of field measurements with the “true value” - in our case was that of the KTIMATOLOGIO AE - because it gives acceptable by the State surveying quotes. The utilization of the park was based on the method of mild and low regeneration cost. The results of this research are given in two stages; the surveying and the planning. The surveying results from comparing measurements between two types of GPS and the Ktimatologio AE are within the industrial error of each instrument. As far as urban park planning and utilization in the campus of AUTH a reconstruction plan is proposed based on low cost in intervention on urban green.

Abstract: One of the major problems faced by small islands in the Aegean Sea, is meeting their energy needs and the increased costs these needs generate because of their distance from the mainland and the increasing price of oil. To the above, the dramatic reduction of fossil fuels and climate change should be added, which obligate Member States of the European Union to comply with Directive 2009/28 / EC, which aims at a contribution of RES of 20% (Greece 18%) in the total EU energy consumption. It is therefore desirable to explore the energy autonomy capabilities offered in each case. This paper explores the possibility of utilizing biomass and in addition the use of livestock and poultry waste for biogas production.
