How can landscape architecture be used to reduce the risk of wildfires, improve vegetation management, and promote ecosystem health and resiliency in wildfire-prone areas?

The consequences of climate change on Greece are examined in this thesis paper, with a focus on Mount Hymettus also known as Mount Immitos, as well as the rise in wildfires. This paper’s goal is to look into the potential contributions landscape architects might offer to wildfire prevention. The use of restorative strategies and the improvement of connection through trails and recreation areas are two examples of these possible contributions. Another subject discussed in this research is the increased risk of fires starting in urban or residential environments. This thesis contends that by restoring the natural ecology and creating areas that are attractive to tourists, landscape architects may significantly contribute to reducing the risk of wildfires and safeguarding the biodiversity of crucial natural ecosystems. Areas that are open to the public can be provided to achieve this.
