5. SUMMARY 
of the two Classification accuracy's attained for validation sites 
tive risk of within the Attica, Greece, test areas were greater than 
has been 90% (for + one map category) in comparison with field- 
g from a derived results, which meet the requirements for 
cA, 408 resource management decisions at the regional and 
national level and which are also adequate for many 
needs even at the local level. 
  
ation 
a The results of the project demonstrated the practicality 
and value of using satellite remote sensing data for 
E] monitoring and mapping land cover and related changes 
over large geographical areas, which is achieved at 
substantially lower costs than traditional ground-based or 
kK aerial photography surveys.
