How can we deal with the aftermath of wildfires? During the summer of 2021, and after an intense heatwave, Greece had to cope with intense wildfires. The biggest one was in Evia, where the fire burnt almost the whole north part of the island, destroying forest, agriculture land, and villages. This thesis focuses on Sipia (Σηπιά) river and Limni (Λίμνη) village, where the forest and agriculture damage was big. “We lost our home”, was the phrase that most of the residents of the village said referring to the forest. For them forest contained their life and their memories. This is the reason why this thesis is focusing on the memories of the people, the ecology of the forest and agriculture, and the economy, with the design elements to be fully related to them.

The summer of 2007 was the worst wildfire season ever recorded in Greek contemporary history with approximately 270,000 hectares of land burned throughout the country. The area most severely hit was the Peloponnesian state of Elia. Econometric analysis with the use of primary and secondary data was carried out in an attempt to disentangle the effects of a variety of factors in the spread of the fire. The findings identified villages in low altitudes and steep slopes as the ones most vulnerable to the risk of wildfire. Wind speed played a significant role in exacerbating the blazes. As far as human factors are concerned population density was negatively associated with wildfire spread. In addition, the more olive groves were found within the boundaries of a village the less damage the settlement was found to have sustained. Finally, participation of local people in fire abatement efforts was significant in reducing wildfire risk. We conclude that public policy should consider a more holistic approach to wildfire management; one that would incorporate the “human-fire” interactions more thoroughly and balance the importance of ecological variables and social parameters in both wildfire prevention and mitigation.
