Cindinique, Urban risks, Local Administration Organizations
Abstract
The main scientific focus of this particular survey subject having to do with the physical, technological, environmental and social risks of Thessaloniki's urban complex, is located in the area of Cindinique. The philosophy of this science imposed the gathering of all the examined dangers in a form of a system in which the study of their dialectical relationships would be feasible. The present survey does not intend to demonstrate efficient ways of facing the dangers but it generously offers the necessary elements so as ac¬tion could be taken. Data was selected after personal interviews during which a relevant questionnaire was used. During the transitive stage of the researching procedure occurring between the collection and the statistical elaboration of data, the absolute and the relational frequencies of the seventy seven variables, coming from the questionnaire, were defined using Classic Statistical methods. Moreover, the selected answers for each danger were examined in the light of some other parameters, such as the remaining dangers or the persona] characteristics of the interviewees. Finally, a method of Data Analysis, which is called Factor Analysis of Correspondences, helped us to distinquish groups of answers according to the different opinions which were expressed, while another one known as Automatic Hierarchical Classification helped us to locate both the characteristic elements of each group and the different ones that led to the formation of different groups.
