The government moves forward to an effort to expand development towards Periphery
“Human administration follows practices that exhaust natural sources and destroy the environment. Through the process of intrinsic local tourist development, it becomes obvious that tourism is closely related to the environment. The existence, the proper use and the exploitation of the natural and cultural environment constitutes one of the basic prerequisites and resources of intrinsic tourist development” underlines in “In-On” magazine Mrs. Stella Papadaki-Tzedaki, Director General of the Administrative & Financial Services at the University of Crete.
She also clarified that “the government moves forward to an effort to expand development towards Periphery. The most important developmental laws that were in force in the last 20years and consider tourist development along with the wider developmental policy of the country have efficiently affected, however in a different way, the so far developmental model”.
She also stressed that “tourist development in Rethymnon brought about a construction burst, which led to the radical increase of land property values. Furthermore, one can notice changes in the use of land properties regarding tourist areas especially those within the town plan. The questions that arise are: Firstly to what extent the land properties that their use has altered are still fertile and secondly to what extent the radical increase of land property values have affected the formation of the tourist enterprises’ model in the area”.
It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Papadaki-Tzedaki has written a book in 1998 entitled “Intrinsic Tourist Development” in which she gives a vivid and at the same time an overall picture of the local financial development.
Moreover, Mrs. Stella Papadaki-Tzedaki has realized an amount of scientific work. This work does not directly concern issues and problems of the University of Crete. However, it is indirectly involved, since it refers to matters of development, either local or peripheral along with employment and labor market.
Furthermore, she has conducted studies regarding public organization (2007), with reference to “the journey of quality in the University of Crete through the improvement of public organization”.
She has also suggested the direct operation of the Public Relations Department of the University of Crete in 2004, while in 2001 the Strategic Programming and the Operational Plan of the Registry of a Special Bill in Research Funds was subjected to the Research Committee of the University and was unanimously accepted and materialized to a great extent.
