Abstract

Coastal urban areas face a number of environmental problems. They have implemented policies for solving these problems, which aimed at sustainable development and the general quality of life of residents. In the context of sustainable development of urban centers, the European Policy has exercised great influence through European projects and other actions.This research refers to the coastal urban area of Vouliagmeni in Attica region. Specifically, companies, tourism development, projects and actions that have been carried out for the sustainable development of the area as well as the measures of environmental protection are investigated. To conduct this study a method of personal interviews with the local authorities and an in situ research took place.The results showed that Vouliagmeni has considerable natural resources as well as a number of economic and environmental problems. As a result, the natural resources threatened by degradation. The major economic problems that the country has faced over the past few years, have affected to some extent the projects and actions of local authorities, which aimed at the coastal area management, at further development and general protection. The adjustment of the local community to new economic situation is necessary to ensure the sustainable development of the area.
