One of the most common forest disturbances, fire, has a significant influence on the people, societies, economies, and environment of countries all over the world. This study explores the different environmental and socioeconomic effects of forest fires to establish priorities for countries in battling and mitigating the harmful effects of forest fires based on data collected from 382 professionals working in Greece’s forestry and agriculture sectors. Secondary data, especially from Statista, were further utilized to enhance the analytical comparisons and conclusions of this study. Wildfires in Greece destroy agricultural land and greatly impact the rural economy and community. This study showed that forest fires have led to several economic costs, mainly affecting the incomes of different investors in the forest sector in Greece. It was revealed that the overall cost of a fire is determined by the direct and indirect expenditures as well as the price of fire control and preventative methods. Direct expenses are broken down into two categories: direct damage that occurs immediately and direct losses that are caused immediately after a fire. Governments should take the initiative to create and expand bilateral and/or multilateral cooperation and coordination, as well as exchange necessary financial resources, technology, and training, to reduce the effects of forest fires in a fragile international man-made and natural environment.

The organization of space and working time, especially their location and geography, is a significant concern to researchers and politicians. However, in today's globalized economy and online age, the way we work and the workplace's whole location and geography are being redefined and researched. This paper investigates the current situation of co-working spaces in Greece, and the authors further analyse the case study of the Athens municipality. They examined views on new workplaces satisfaction and the benefits of the location. The research also explored the factors influencing ‘co-working spaces' satisfaction and views on the location's benefits. Finally, there is a detailed record of the areas in question throughout the territory, and they are scattered and concentrated in certain areas. Their characteristics are then explored, and policies and actions are proposed for their operation and development in the post-COVID-19 era.
