The thesis develops activation strategies for a small rural community with 7 permanent residents in the area of Megalopolis in Arcadia. The thesis focuses on the revitalization and strengthening of the village, Isioma Karyon through an ephemeral situation, such as the fair, to bring back life to the village both during the fair and throughout the year. The effort includes strategies and programs to attract new visitors and residents, create activities and recreate existing structures. It also seeks ways to connect people to the land and animals and to promote local culture. An important part of this effort is the creation of a trail connecting two small churches, Upper and Lower St. Yiannis’, located 3.5km apart, and other important historical and natural sites in the area.
The project also attempts to highlight the importance of the paleontological museum and the PPC plant in the area, both of which have had a significant impact on the village and its community.
