The tour of a visitor in a mountainous village can acquire an excellent interest when stories, myths, traditions and legends of the village appear through the buildings and among the nature. This study aims at proving the effective usage of technology at creating such cultural routes. A special and modern way to enhance local cultural elements is the creation of a route inside the village which will be launched in a personal digital assistant (PDA) and on which all the interesting spots will be appeared.

The present study aims at creating a map with areas suitable for developing wind farms in the municipality of Konitsa. The rational location in an area with high renewable resources and at the same time small to negligible effects on the natural and human environment is the first stage of a study from a potential investor. As it concerns our country, the basic principles, the specific criteria and location standards have been set by the relative Greek, legal framework.

The threat of energy poverty in mountainous areas, due to the high thermal loads required in these areas and the dependence from the conventional forms of energy, is particularly intense.

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and especially the utilization of forest biomass, which is found in abundance in mountainous areas and capable of heat production, can reduce the energy costs of the households in mountainous areas.
