ENGINEERING GEOLOGICAL STUDY FOR THE LOCALIZATION OF SITES SUITABLE FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN LAND SLIDING MOUNTAINOUS SETTLEMENTS OF AITOLOAKARNANIA PROVINCE
Abstract
The villages of Houni, Kampos, Busduneika, Rio and Skaideika, which belong to the township of Parakampilia of the Aitoloakarnania province, have been characterised as land sliding, according to earlier assessments and decisions. Nevertheless these locations continued to be inhabited. Additionally there is a great interest for construction currently. According to the findings of this study, even if the geotechnical properties of the region are generally poor, the land sliding phenomena in the populated regions are of limited range and thus the broad characterisation as land sliding region cannot be justified. There are designated zones in all of these villages, where sustainable constructional development can be assured, provided that all the proposed safety measures are to be taken.
