“…The Balkan corridor in 2015–16 followed some Pan‐European transport corridors on main European road/train routes, such as corridor X (Austria–Greece) (Žunić, 2017), which runs through Idomeni, Tabanovce or Tovarnik. One branch of PECX connects Budapest and Beograd, running through Subotica, Röszke and Szeged (Miltiadou et al, 2012). The principal route runs via Slavonski Brod (Ilić & Orešić, 2004) and a railway variant to Dobova.…”

In 2015–16, Europe witnessed the biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War. Over a million people moved via different migration routes. The key route was the Balkan corridor running from Turkey, via Greece, to Central, Western and Northern Europe. The aim of this paper is to describe the development and changes in the route and provide an analysis of transit via Balkan countries, looking at factors that influenced the shape of the corridor. This refugee crisis was challenging for European countries and the whole European Union (EU). This corridor was unique, being de facto formalized semi‐legal territory, which the EU had never faced before. An official reaction to the crisis was necessary due to the substantial number of people who were on the move, seeking to cross the Balkan countries in the fastest manner possible. Therefore, the response was focused on arranging transport and providing only short‐term accommodation. This paper uses the PESTLE framework to examine the key political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental aspects that influenced the Balkan corridor, as well as changes in the route over time and responses to them. The role of the media in shaping the corridor is also acknowledged, thus resulting in a PESTLE‐M framework. Findings from the research are important, as it is likely that the EU will face a similar crisis in the near future. Therefore, there is a need to prepare and develop a plan in case such a situation arises.

“…Madrid, Rome, Zagreb, Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia, Skopje, Tirana, Podgorica, and Athens were the capitals where this research was performed. Most of the capitals are also located in areas close to Pan-European Corridor X, which is an important transport and tourist route [85]. It is one of the crucial Pan-European corridors connecting Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Greece.…”

Sustainable development is in many ways the fundamental basis of tourism. The importance and role of sustainable tourism development in the 21st century is at the center of this paper on eco-certificates and green procurement in the hotel industry, within the field of the responsible or green economy. The green hotel economy implies the selection of accommodation in environmentally responsible hotels and other facilities, which are directing their business operations towards green procurement, eco-labeling, and the responsible economy. This paper includes quantitative research of the attitudes of 506 international tourists, who expressed their views on their needs regarding eco-hotels and the green economy in the hotel industry. This research also included the collection of data on green (responsible) businesses by surveying 100 hotels situated in the capitals of southern Europe. Comparing results from hotels with the needs of tourists in terms of the green economy in the hotel industry, significant results were obtained that contribute to sustainable tourism development.

Furthermore, the overall objective of the Helsinki Declaration (3rd Pan-European Transport Conference, 1997) was to promote sustainable, efficient transport systems -taking into account technical and interoperability aspects in order to facilitate movements at border crossings, which meet the economic, social, environmental and safety needs of European citizens, help to reduce regional disparities and enable European business to be competitive in the world markets (Marios Militiadou, 2012).…”

TAW 2018 Conference Proceedings [Co-habitation tactics] Imagining Future Spaces in Architecture, City and Landscape

The turn of the 21st century has been marked by dramatic changes in the political, social and environmental panorama, which are deeply afecting the way we live today: terrorism, migration and global warming are certainly the most pressing issues, and they are putting at risk our very life on this planet. So far we have come to acknowledge that we must simply coexist with such problems and learn to live with their consequences in our everyday life. But while coexistence refers to the mere - and often imposed - action of living together without any productive interaction, co-habitation implies living together peacefully, while promoting some form of exchange. This is why we believe that in the future architecture, city, and landscape should approach such emergencies fostering interaction and productive exchanges between diferent disciplines and cultures. Co-habitation can be achieved through tactics, which ofer the possibility to generate new creative spaces within the felds of architecture, city and landscape. Tactics - a term, which evokes the ancient Greek expression art of arrangement - are actions undertaken by, or addressed towards, the actual consumers/users. Such actions are fexible, they can be continuously modifed, reshaped and adapted to cope with external interferences. The International Scientifc Conference - organized in the framework of Tirana Architecture Week 2018 - aims at exploring contemporary research activities and design tactics that deal with the topic of co-habitation from diferent perspectives and within diferent felds of interest, directly or indirectly related to architecture, city, and landscape. Through the observation of diferent tactics adopted by researchers and professionals, the hope is to identify new research and design trajectories. Within this broader framework, three contexts (architecture, city, and landscape) and eight topics related to the concept of co-habitation (climate change, ecosystem, energy transitions, memory, migration, mobility, technology, and tourism) have been identifed. Contributes from the felds of sociology, architecture, urbanism, planning, leisure and cultural studies, geography, anthropology are welcome, as much as other sciences not mentioned above.
