This book highlights in Greek literature the issues concerning the Kavala Prefecture. It refers to the physiognomy and sustainable development of the Prefecture, and its ultimate goal is to record the existing situation and explore the possibilities and prospects that the Kavala Prefecture has for environmental, social, economic, and cultural development. In other words, to develop sustainably in order to ensure the quality of life for its residents. The main concern is to propose development goals that will be implemented with short-term, medium-term, and long-term perspectives.

The book is addressed to researchers related to the topics of Sustainable Development, Local and Regional Development, Natural and Urban Environment, Culture, and Tourism Development. At the same time, it is particularly useful for professionals and managers of the aforementioned topics, who organize and implement Strategic Programs for Sustainable Development of cities and regions. It can also serve as a pilot tool and assist in similar research conducted in areas that have similar characteristics to those of the Kavala Prefecture. Finally, it is a modern source of information for every citizen, as the issues of the physiognomy and sustainable development of places, the environment, the economy, society, and culture now determine the daily life and quality of life of many citizens.
