Abstract

In this article, the basic forms and the causes of degradation of the natural and social environment are analysed and associated mainly with the capitalist mode of production organization. With respect to Greece and her integration within the context of the European Community in particular, the tendency and the dynamics of the uneven regional development against the country are pointed out, and the socio-economic necessities relating this dynamic with the increasing and multiform degradation of the environment are analysed. Specific reference is given to the role of the development strategy, as well as to the restructuring of production and the increasing specialisation in branches such as tourism, which implies a serious environmental impact.
