Protected areas: a legal examination of the modern framework The rational allocation and the maximum permitted levels of human interventions Konstantinos Karatsolis Attorney at Law, Environmental & Urban Planning Law Ifigeneia Tsakalogianni Attorney at Law, LLM Environmental Law Evangelia Koloventzou Attorney at Law ISBN 978-960-654-473-6 Abstract: The authors aim to examine the institutional and legal framework of pro- tected areas by analysing all relevant legislation, with a focus on the legal conside- rations regarding the most important protection principles, the national system of the establishment of said areas and the recent legislative changes in the field. In addition, the authors analyse two significant judgements of the Court of the Euro- pean Union, the establishment and management systems in other European coun- tries and conclude by examining the newly enacted article 218 of Law 4782/2021 concerning the process of establishing protected sub-areas in cases of low impact development projects.
