Greece – Rhodes Island
Location
Dodecanese region, Southeastern Aegean Sea.
Key facts
Major tourism destination with critical infrastructure (main town, port, and airport) and seasonal population variations.
Actions
Replication of the service (3SES) in Rhodes focuses on assessing the risks associated with clay shrinkage and swelling, a hazard particularly relevant in southern Europe. The study aims to analyse its impacts on key infrastructures, including buildings, transport and utility networks, and vegetation, as well as associated cascading effects.
Impacts
Strengthened capacity to understand and anticipate ground-related risks in an insular and touristic context.
Expected impacts
Improved resilience of essential services and infrastructure, and enhanced integration of geotechnical risks into local planning strategies.
