... (http://emeric.ims. forth.gr/) and their geohazard risk assessment (especially of the main geological and active faults) has been thoroughly studied ( Fassoulas et al. 2007). Thus, three buffer zones of 250, 500 and 1,000 m along both sides of recorded major faults were created to prevent a future landfill sitting in close vicinity to the faults (Fig. 4b) and a normalization model was applied to classify the areas from 1 (suitable areas-distance more than 1,000 m) to 0 (not suitable areas-distance \250 ...

... able to register more than 5,000 archaeo- logical sites (from different time periods) all over the island of Crete. Out of them, 415 archaeological sites (mainly dated from the Neolithic to the late Roman age) were recorded within the limits of Chania prefecture. Buffer zones of 500 and 1000 m width were created around each archaeological site (Fig. 4c). It was found that 19 landfills are already located within a distance of 500 m from archaeological sites, whereas 17 more fall within a distance of 1,000 m from them. Through the use of fuzzy logic algorithm a value of 1 was attributed to areas in a distance [1,000 m from the archaeological sites and a value of 0 to areas located in ...
