Περίληψη

The survival of small scale settlements –with a population under 2.000 inhabitants– is a prerequisite for any regional development policy concerning the Greek territory. Furthermore, as the population, economic and social changes in them during the last years have reversed every attempt for balanced development of this country, having lead to the overcrowding of the main cities and the desertion of the countryside. This paper attempts to investigate the development possibilities of small settlements in Chania’s region of Crete, in conjunction with the more important spatial parameters involved in this procedure (for example the geomorphologic, demographic and employment characteristics). The main thesis of this research is that the basic infrastructure works and other services constitute a determinative factor in the economic growth at micro–local level and contribute to the survival of the small settlements.In methodological terms, first a record of small settlements is built up where theirspatial features are registered according to the date of the more recent censuses (1991 and 2001). Second, the changes which occurred in the decade 1991-2000 are examined. Third, the small settlements are investigated according to their spatial parameters in order to assess the level of influence of the existing infrastructure works on the development procedure in relation to their typology.
