Η Παρούσα Κοινωνικοοικονομική Κατάσταση των Πυρόπληκτων Περιοχών του Νομού Ηλείας: Μια Δειγματοληπτική Μελέτη
Abstract
The socioeconomic consequences of the catastrophic fires of 2007 inEliasPrefecturewere investigated in a sample survey of 1529 residents in the fire-affected districts in 2012. The population of this chiefly mountainous area is elderly (a quarter over 65) and has low education (45% no higher than primary). There are few employment opportunities and most of the labour force is self-employed in agricultural or other occupations. Half the population believes that their economic situation has worsened since the fires. However, most blame this entirely or partly on the economic crisis. Housing problems were to a large extent said to be long-standing ones that also were not principally caused by the fires. The survey did not reveal acute social exclusion at present but the population is vulnerable to poverty and geographical exclusion in particular.
