Abstract

Nowadays, the increase of carbon dioxide emissions contributes to the surface temperature's increase and it is the prime cause for the climatic changes. The basic measure that has been taken by world community for the confrontation of this phenomenon was the use of renewable energy sources (RES). This research refers to the use of RES, in the island of Mykonos. It focuses on the repercussions of renewable energy sources on the environment as well as the economic sector. Specifically, it refers to the aeolian parks and to the photovoltaic systems of electric energy production. At the same time, the research takes into account the existing legislative regulations for the uses as well as for the spatial planning frames for the RES. For the exploration of repercussions was used not only the research of elements and that of primary sources but also the methodology of interviews as well as the observation on the spot. The conclusions showed that the correct management of renewable energy sources from regulations of local authorities like the Municipality of Mykonos, as well as the private sector can contribute to the protection of environment and to the economic development of the area.
