The Athens Social Atlas - in EL | EN | FR  

The Athens Social Atlas aims at highlighting and critically analysing topics concerning the social geography of Athens through multiple perspectives, focusing especially on the past 20 years. It contains texts and supporting material (...). [...] The variety of subjects and the variety in the scope of the articles explains the decision to create an unconventional online publication that would not follow the strict guidelines of a collective volume.

The articles / entries are classified into 15 main thematic groups/categories: History, Social Structure, Politics, Economy, Education, Health, Housing, Ethnic Groups, Culture, Built Environment, Planning, Transportation, Infrastructure, Neighbourhoods and Social Economy.

Partnership of the following academic and scientific bodies: HAROKOPIO UNIVERSITY Department of Geography (prof. Th. Maloutas) - main institutional framework for the research project. | The French School in Athens (EFA) | The [Hellenic] National Centre for Social Research | The Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) | sponsorship: Onassis Foundation (Alexander S.

Anatoli est une publication annuelle consacrée à l’étude pluridisciplinaire de l’espace qui s’étend de l’Adriatique à la Caspienne. Elle s’intéresse aux cultures - grecque, latine, slave, turque, persane, géorgienne, arménienne, juive, etc. - qui l’ont habité et façonné. Les territoires de cet espace, aujourd’hui fragmenté, furent jadis unifiés, au moins partiellement, par les pouvoirs impériaux, dont le dernier fut l’empire ottoman. Ils en gardent bien des traits communs, souvent sous forme latente. L’importance de cet espace pour l’Union européenne est une évidence. || Anatoli is an annual publication devoted to the interdisciplinary study of the space between the Adriatic and Caspian seas. It focused on Greek, Latin, Slavish, Turkish, Persian, Georgian, Armenian, Jewish cultures... which inhabited and shaped it. To-day, the territories of these regions are fragmented but in the past they were unified by imperial powers, the Ottoman empire being the last one. They preserved numerous common features. The importance of the space for the European Union is obvious.

(The Hellenic) NATIONAL ARCHIVE OF MONUMENTS - The Archaeological Cadastre  
DIPYLON Societys's Project, "Karten von Attika in the Era of Digital Humanities"  

The project is a webGIS platform that displays on a single map the natural features and the multitude of remains of human activity from antiquity to the end of the 19th century, as depicted in the Maps of Attica. It was conceived and implemented by the Dipylon Society.

The 24 sheets of the  Maps of Attica (III–XXVI, 1:25000) were transferred to the digital by making the most of digital humanities technologies, especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and web mapping. The webGIS platform embodies a multi-level research program organized around four central axes:

  • Synthesis of the thematic content of the Maps of Attica into a single map by classifying the amount of information of the original work into remains of human activity of all kinds.
  • Distinguishing the contents on the map into surviving remains and damaged by newer activities.
  • Translation into Greek of the Explanatory Text of the Maps of Attica compiled by Ernst Curtius, G. von Alten, and, especially, Arthur Milchhoefer; the text had never before been translated in its entirety into Greek.
  • Recording of Attic toponyms.
